The Operational Range Inventory Sustainment

(ORIS)

Objectives of Brief

History and Overview

Status

What ORIS provides to the Army



Situation



What is ORIS?

An inventory of all US Army ranges.An inventory of all US Army ranges. A joint HQDA initiative with ACSIM/DAMO-TRS

Includes

CONUS and OCONUS

Active Army, NGB, USARC

Range footprints (GIS)

Environmental and range use information for each range

All 478 installations 10,523 ranges (currently)

Land owned or used by Army for training

Each installation is updated at least every 5 years



Background

The range inventory was congressional, defense and regulatory driven

Active/Inactive (A/I) Range Inventory July 2000 - Dec 2002

478 Sites, 7 quarters of operation

ORIS is the update the original A/I Range Inventory Spatial and Tabular information about ranges

Range uses

Environmental conditions on ranges

Munitions

Each installation will be updated every 2-5 years



Drivers

DODD 4715.11/12

Mandates establishment and maintenance of an operational range inventory

DODD 3200.15

the spatial range inventory of operational ranges must be updated at least every five years



DODD 3200.15 Definitions January 10, 2003

E2.1.1. Operational Range. A military range that is used for range activities; is not currently being used, but is still considered by the DoD Component to be a range area; is under the jurisdiction, custody, or control of the Department of Defense; or has not been put to a new use that is incompatible with range activities. Also includes OPAREAs, and active and inactive ranges that are defined by 40 CFR 266 (reference (al)).

E2.1.2. Range and Operating Area (OPAREA). Specifically bounded geographic areas that may encompass a landmass, body of water (above or below the surface), and/or airspace used to conduct operations, training, research and development, and test and evaluation of military hardware, personnel, tactics, munitions, explosives, or electronic combat systems. Those areas shall be under strict control of the Armed Forces or may be shared by multiple Agencies.



Status

Began 1st Semester FY04 in June 2004 (120 installations)

FY04 1st Semester drafts are being delivered by contractor for review by Government

Overlapping 2nd Semester FY04 and 1st Semester FY05

16 month year

Began FY04 in 4th quarter

FY05 contract awarded March 2005

1st Semester FY05 installations are in Korea

22 installations

Many changes since last inventory

Distribution of the load of installations for ease of Gov’t review



ORIS Methodology

ORIS is an iterative process of information gathering, site visit, data compilation, verification of tabulated results, and the production and submission of project deliverables to include the following…



Tabular and Graphic Information for Every Range



Relational Database Query Functions



Global to Installation

Scale



GIS Provides Location Based Links to Other Data



How it relates to other data

Spatial overlays in GIS (our range data is 1:24000)

IFS links INSNO

FACNO

Environmental link FFID

Other (not great, but sometimes works) Installation name

Range Name

State Name

MACOM

FCC

Etc…



Find the Environmental Conditions Required

Training requires realistic situations

Coordinating with MACOMs to develop an interactive web page to search by training type and by environmental conditions.



Assist in Planning New Range Development

Stationing, and training activities to meet training goals and requirements in an environmentally conscientious manner



Evaluate the Effect of Trainingon Different Types of Environments

Range and Training Land Program (RTLP)

Systematically evaluates the impacts of training to the land

GIS provides a medium to investigate relationships between information about the land on which ranges sit and the ranges themselves



Maximize the Utility of Army’s Ranges

Range coordination

IMA regions

FRMAP



Provide a Visual Representation and Communication Tool of Army’s Ranges

GIS provides a quick and easy way to communicate between different groups and communities. Information can be

viewed concurrently

A picture is worth a 1000 words (and acronyms)
