The Nevada Test and Training Range Crunch: Expanding Airpower Capabilities Are Shrinking Training Airspace and Ranges

By Damon A. Anthony

The Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) Crunch: Expanding Airpower Capabilities are Shrinking Training Airspace and Ranges How does the US maintain the most capable Air Force in the world? Without argument, Air Force aviators receive the best training on the best equipment with the best tools available. But the golden age of US air dominance may come to a close as budgets and resources are shrinking. Paramount to military aviation is the training airspace and ranges where missions are rehearsed and swords are sharpened. The Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) is the Air Force training range crown jewel. Competition for NTTR resources have created a congestion problem, choking out the Nellis AFB test and training community. HQ USAF has a strategic vision for transforming training ranges and airspace to meet the needs of today's warfighter. The concept is called the relevant range. Its focus revolves around the Air Force Core Competencies of Developing Airmen, Technology to Warfighting and Integrating Operations.
