This
book provides an insight into the global practices for environmental management
of military live-fire training ranges by combining scientific research with
practical solutions to ensure continued training capability. The text is
divided into four parts: the first provides the background information necessary to
understand the scientific principles behind environmental management. The
second part comprises methodologies for the environmental risk assessment of
explosives and munitions, and the third collates case studies and innovative
management techniques that have been applied to reduce remediation costs. Finally, part four considers the design of greener or insensitive munitions to
reduce environmental impact. This is an essential reference guide for those
with a responsibility for environmental management of military training ranges,
and who are required to ensure sustainable long-term training capability.
