SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Implementation of Alternative 1 (Preferred
Alternative) will enable the Navy, other U.S. military services, and
its allies to meet their respective missions. The Navy's mission, under
Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 5062, is to maintain,
train, and equip combat-ready military forces capable of winning wars,
deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas. Alternative
1 includes activities that are the same or similar to those currently
occurring, but that would occur at a more frequent level. Alternative 1
is based on increasing requirements to meet the current geopolitical
environment, and supports the full spectrum of potential testing and
training necessary to respond to a national emergency or crisis. The
Navy will continue to implement the full suite of mitigation measures
detailed in Chapter 5 (Standard Operating Procedures and Mitigation
Measures) of the Point Mugu Sea Range Final EIS/OEIS to avoid or reduce
potential environmental impacts during testing and training activities.
