PGM is a modern class of weapons that per FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION ADOPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, WRITTEN RE-EVALUATION, AND RECORD OF DECISIONmits Marine aviators to isolate and attack specific targets.

The ranges on the West Coast are more suited for large- scale, live-fire training. The inability to train with PGM at TBR detracts from the Marine Corps’ ability to fully utilize the ranges on the West Coast to meet more advanced tr FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION ADOPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, WRITTEN RE-EVALUATION, AND RECORD OF DECISIONaining requirements.
