To optimize training opportunities, installations need to respond to ever-changing training requirements in immediate and cost effective ways.  Numerous cultural resource managers, many with academic credentials in the social sciences, are partnering with range divisions to create realism and settings for culturally accurate training scenarios.  From historic mines for cave training at Dugway Proving Ground to replica Afghanistan vineyards at Fort Drum, DoD land management professionals are stepping out of their traditional "lanes" and relationships to meet the training needs of today's deploying Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines in new and creative ways.
