Department of the Army

 
Federal Property Suitable for Exchange

AGENCY: Department of the Army, Department of Defense (DOD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice identifies real property under the administrative 
jurisdiction of the United States Army which has been determined to be 
not required for DOD. The Army intends to exchange the real property to 
carry out a land acquisition under an agreement entered into under 10 
U.S.C. 2684a to limit encroachments and other constraints on military 
training, testing, and operations at Fort Campbell, KY.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Craig Bradley III, Office of the 
Staff Judge Advocate, Bldg 125, Forest Road, Fort Campbell, KY 42262, 
Telephone: 270-798-0729.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 10 U.S.C. Sec.  
2869(d)(1), the Army is publishing this Notice to identify Federal real 
property that the Army has reviewed for suitability to dispose of in 
exchange for real property or interests therein which are beneficial to 
the Army to limit encroachments and other constraints on military 
training, testing, and operations at Fort Campbell, KY. The property 
was screened within the DOD and no DOD agencies have expressed an 
interest in the property.
    The Army real property consists of the following:
    Approximately 55.6 acres at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
    Comments: The property consists of eight non-contiguous parcels 
created by the realignment of State Highway 79. These parcels are 
situated on the opposite side of the State Highway 79 from Fort 
Campbell and total approximately 55.6 acres.
    The Army will exchange the above real property for:
    Property of equal value subject to an agreement entered into under 
10 U.S.C. Sec.  2684a with an eligible entity in support of the Army 
Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program at Fort Campbell, which addresses 
the use or development of real property in the vicinity of, or 
ecologically related to, Fort Campbell.
    Comments: Fort Campbell is located on the Kentucky-Tennessee 
border, approximately 50 miles north-east of Nashville, TN. Fort 
Campbell's mission is to support training, mobilization, deployment and 
redeployment of mission-ready forces. While Fort Campbell primarily 
supports the 101st Airborne Division and other assigned active 
component combat units, over 50,000 military personnel train at Fort 
Campbell annually. To maintain the required level of mission readiness, 
they require the ability to conduct realistic ground training and 
aviation operations on and around the installation--particularly at 
night.
    The ACUB program at Fort Campbell seeks to establish protective 
buffers around the installation training area perimeter, preventing 
incompatible land uses from occurring within designated high noise 
zones and aircraft over-flight areas. Approved in 2006, the Fort 
Campbell ACUB goal is to protect almost 80,000 acres over a 10-year 
period.
    The proposed exchange of these 55.6 acres will directly support 
Fort Campbell's goal of protecting these 80,000 acres. In doing so, the 
Army will ensure its ability to train and maintain combat readiness 
into the future.

Craig E. College,
Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management.
