Army's Expansion Opposed by Archaeologists / Ranchers by Andy B on Friday, 06 October 2006
(User Info | Send a Message)
Army’s proposed expansion of Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site may imperil historical and prehistoric treasures in Southeast Colorado. The Army’s decision to transfer 8,000 additional troops to Fort Carson and also make the Mountain Camp the training headquarters for reserve soldiers and National Guard troops west of the Mississippi River is having a ripple effect across Southern Colorado.

The Army contends it needs more land to accommodate its broader mission and that private landowners who are willing to sell their land for the expansion are silent supporters of the proposal, which is currently undergoing review by Army brass.
Farmers, ranchers and local governments across Southern Colorado are fighting the proposal.
