Vehicle impacts are an important military training issue because, in order to adequately train for combat, military training must occur in all weather conditions and at all times of the year. Vehicles must be allowed to maneuver over terrain and distances similar to what is expected in a battlefield environment. These training activities must be balanced with legal requirements pertaining to natural resources protection (Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, etc.) and the need to sustain the condition of the land to support military training over the long term. This bibliography focuses on identifying the information available for military impacts on vegetation as distinct from those concerning air quality, water quality, noise pollution, soil contamination, and direct impacts on animals. The available literature on impacts of military vehicles on military lands was surveyed. The bibliography has been divided into two parts: (1) military references developed from military vehicles or military lands and representing primary observations or research, and (2) supporting references that were not developed from the military but which have applicability to training activities on military lands by military vehicles or are derivative from primary works on the military. This report contains 61 references with abstracts.
