FTIG’s 11,000
acre training corridor is located between two Appalachian Mountains, Blue
Mountain and Second Mountain, reaching 600 to 700 feet above mean sea
level. The location provides a self-contained training area with minimum
training distractions. Its protected location makes it ideal for live fire
training. Some 120 miles of roads and trails, well-suited for wheeled and
tracked vehicles, run throughout the corridor and its training areas.
Fifty training
areas are located throughout the corridor and are suitable for bivouac,
maneuver, vehicle training, unit tactics, convoy training and other customized
training focusing on training realism. FTIG Range Operations is committed to
working with unit commanders to develop realistic and targeted training plans
for each unit. Multiple training areas may be linked to create large
corridors for lanes training. Training areas are approved for
pyrotechnics and for small arms weapons (blank fire).
