Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Land Management System (LMS) Military Field Application Site FY00 In-Process Review

Abstract

Abstract : The Land Management System (LMS) is an initiative of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) focused on improving landscape analysis and landscape management capabilities in several of the Corps of Engineers major mission areas. The purpose of LMS is to provide relevant science, tools, and information to land and water resource managers and decisionmakers with the goal of enhancing their ability to understand and communicate past, current, and potential impacts of management actions on land and water resources. In 1999, the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) at Twentynine Palms, CA, was officially designated as a field application site. Field Application Site In-Progress Reviews (IPRs) are designed to ensure that the stages of evaluation, modification, and documentation are fulfilled. The first IPR workshop was held 13 April 2000. The objectives of this lPR were to provide a forum where personnel involved with specific MCAGCC LMS projects could discuss the progress of each effort, identify the relationships between projects, and solicit input from potential users of the resulting products. Results of the IPR are documented in this report to ensure project improvements and adjustments occur and to assist with the next IPR.
