President Franklin D. Roosevelt first protected the area in 1936, as a game range for bighorn sheep. But just four years later, the U.S. War Department began using part of it as a bombing and gunnery range.

Recent articles on soil and groundwater contamination from spent munitions point out the dangers to humans, animals, and plant life. Over the years the government has taken reservation land away from the Native Americans and now they want more land that they will end up contaminating. The Air Force should not be allowed to expand, but then with the present administration it is a sure bet they will!

SSgt Donald Libby Amen Brother! Let's See a tour in Adak, AK. Nothing so Special as walking thru a Mine Field because you can't read the Back of the Sign. Impaling My boot on an anti-personnel spike. Feeling the Building Shake because EOD is blowing up WWII Ordnance on the beach. Living in Jackson Park, Navy Housing, Bremerton, WA (WWII Ammo Dump) seeing the WWII flares for the 5 inch 54 sticking out of the ground near the beach, having the kids come in and ask to call EOD because a Bomb was exposed in the Middle of the Softball Field after the last Rain. Yeah We Suck!
