Final Environmental Assessment for the Joint Integrated Fires Exercise at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida

The Joint Integrated Fires Exercise (JIFE) trains Tactical Air Controller Parties (TACPs) and Forward Observers (FOs) in coordinating the delivery of ordnance from aircraft, ground artillery, and mortars. While much of the proposed training is routine at Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR), some eleme...

Zusammenfassung:	The Joint Integrated Fires Exercise (JIFE) trains Tactical Air Controller Parties (TACPs) and Forward Observers (FOs) in coordinating the delivery of ordnance from aircraft, ground artillery, and mortars. While much of the proposed training is routine at Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR), some elements are new and are assessed this Environmental Assessment (EA). New elements include concurrent use of ordnance delivered by aircraft and ground units, placing TACPs and FOs in explosive impact areas, expanding artillery firing points, creating new mortar firing areas, launching ground-based inert rockets from new locations, and introducing new ordnance into an existing range. Environmental impacts include adverse impacts to endangered animal species that do not result in lethal take and limiting personnel access to an expanded portion of a high-explosives area of an impact range.
