It's the first phase of a $40 million project to build an aerial gunnery range at Fort Bragg just south of drop zones Sicily, Normandy, Salerno and Holland. The range, which could take six years to complete, will provide rotary wing aircraft bombing and target practice for aviators...."
Well, that's interesting - but two years to place targets?
