I am a supporter of giving our troops and our military every advantage they need to do their job. And, that includes the equipment and training facilities to complete their training exercises. Like most Coloradans I was pleased that at the end of the last BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) round, Colorado’s military footprint increased. Most significantly, Ft. Carson Army Base in El Paso County expects an additional 10,000 troops. However, fallout from this realignment is that the Army also says it needs additional land for training, and they are looking in the neighborhood.
