Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Airspace |
|
Training Initiative Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. |
|
This document records the decision,en of the United |
|
States Air Force (Air Force) with regard to the Airspace |
|
Training Initiative (ATI). In making this decision, the |
|
information, analyses, and public comments contained in |
|
the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the |
|
Airspace Training Initiative (ATI), Shaw Air Force Base |
|
(APB), South Carolina were considered, along With other |
|
relevant matters. The Air Force is the Lead Agency and |
|
the Federal Aviation Administration is the Cooperating |
|
Agency. The 20th Fighter Wing (20 FW) at Shaw AFB, SC, |
|
manages training airspace to support existing F-16 |
|
aircraft training missions of the 55th, 77th; and 79th |
|
Fighter Squadrons at Shaw AFB, and the 157th Fighter |
|
Squadron assigned to the 169th Fighter Wing (169 FW) at |
|
McEntire Joint National Guard Base (formerly McEntire Air |
|
National Guard Station), SC. A Final EIS was prepared |
|
(Federal Register, Vol. 75, No 122, Page 36386, June |
|
25,2010) to evaluate the ATI proposal to modify existing |
|
Special Use Airspace to provide effective and realistic |
|
military training air space that is sized, configured, |
|
and able to support the training needs for the F-16 |
|
pilots assigned to Shaw AFB and McEntire JNGB. The |
|
proposed action will enhance training opportunities, thus |
|
increasing combat capability and survivability of Shaw |
|
AFB and McEntire JNGB F-16 pilots. These bases comprise |
|
70 percent of the Air Force's Continental United States |
|
(CONUS)-based Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) |
|
and Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (DEAD) assets. 20 |
|
FW and 169 FW pilots are routinely deployed worldwide in |
|
support of overseas contingency operations where they are |
|
exposed to enemy threats in combat. The constant |
|
evolution of technology and sophistication of air |
|
defenses available to potential enemies demand that |
|
pilots be trained to instantly respond to these |
|
increasing threats. |
