Proposed Eastern United States missile defense site
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Proposed Eastern United States missile defense site is a Ground-Based Midcourse Defense site that may be built in the eastern half of the United States.
As of January 2014[update] four sites have been shortlisted - SERE Remote Training Site, Maine (Rangeley); Fort Drum, New York; Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Ohio and Fort Custer Training Center in Michigan. Camp Ethan Allen Training Site in Vermont was dropped from consideration in late 2013.[1]
History
In January 2014 the Pentagon announced they were starting a two-year environmental impact study under the 2013 defense authorization bill, which required two missile-defense sites to be identified on the East Coast.[1] The CBO has estimated that a site would cost US$3.5bn.[1]
