• Description:
  This Environmental Assessment (EA) identifies and evaluates the potential impacts on the environment of conducting joint logistics over-the-shore (JLOTS) training and associated unit-level field training exercises (FTXs) at east coast locations. The purpose of JLOTS training is to ensure that Navy, Marine Corps, and Army personnel develop and maintain competence in conducting joint ship-to-shore movement of cargo and personnel. Conducting JLOTS training is needed to support the Navy's requirements to organize, train, and equip forces for prompt and sustained combat and to coordinate with other military branches, consistent with Title 10 U.S.C. ʹ5062. The EA assesses the impacts of the No Action Alternative and the Action Alternative. Under the Action Alternative, the proposed JLOTS training would be conducted at the Little Creek site of Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Fort Story site of JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, and at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The Proposed Action would not have significant impacts on the environment. Preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.
