The Department of the Air Force (DAF) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed optimization of the Powder River Training Complex (PRTC) to support aircrew training.
Proposed Action: The Proposed Action includes: (1) improvements to the airspace structure at PRTC to address shortfalls in day-to-day training for aircrews from Ellsworth and Minot Air Force Bases and (2) increasing Large Force Exercise capability at PRTC to meet threats to National Security. The PRTC airspace overlies portions of South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
