1. Identify areas of environmental concerns with a solution to the scenario.

• Air (Equipment exhaust, convoy dust, pyrotechnics, demolition/munitions effects)

• Archaeological Sites (Maneuvering in sensitive areas, digging in sensitive areas, disturbing or removing artifacts)

• Noise (Demolition/munitions effects, night operations, operations near post/camp boundaries and/or civilian populace, vehicle convoys/maneuvers)

• Threatened / Endangered species (Maneuvering in sensitive areas, demolition/munitions effects, disturbing habitat or individual species, spills or releases, poor field sanitation)

• Soil / terrain (Over-use of maneuver areas, Demolition/munitions effects, Munitions and munitions related wastes, Poor field sanitation, Poor maneuver-damage control, Erosion, Troop construction effects)

• Refueling operations (spills, refueling operations near water sources)

• Ecologically sensitive areas such as wetlands (Unchecked drainage, Amphibious/water crossing operations, poor field sanitation, erosion)

2. Identify mission-related environmental risks with a solution to the scenario.

• Vehicle accidents and breakdowns causing spill of fuel.

- Train all drivers before the exercise. Supply and issue vehicle spill equipment.

• Spills during refueling stops.

- Train all fuel handlers on proper refueling procedures. Provide spill equipment. Ensure that only fuel handlers will dispense fuel. Locate refueling sites away from bodies of water and wetland areas.

• Maneuver damage from off-road movement.

- Brief all drivers to stay on primary and secondary roads. Identify all sensitive areas and habitat along the route. Conduct prior route recon.

• Establish a tactical bivouac and digging in sensitive and restricted areas.

- Dig only in approved areas. Identify and
