The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. The work will initially consist of constructing a road in Sector 15A that will serve as a bypass route during manoeuvres on the combat course. In a second phase, additional roads will be constructed within the Termoli Range to provide new firing positions.
