		These IDO components and their support facilities at Fort Greely are a subset of the preferred alternative for a GBI site in the NMD Deployment EIS (July 2000), which evaluated the environmental effects of deploying up to 100 GBI missiles with related facilities and infrastructure at alternative sites in AK and ND.
		The Fort Greely IDO components, when combined with existing GMD test assets, early warning radars, satellites, communications networks, and command and control facilities, will provide a capability to protect the United States from a limited ballistic missile attack.
		It is anticipated that construction and operation of the GBI element at Fort Greely would provide an economic benefit to the surrounding regions, partially offsetting the loss of jobs at the base as a result of previous Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) cutbacks.

		Thus the obvious purpose of placing the five missiles in the frigid forests of Fort Greely and the location of nearby HAARP is clearly to provide a "Great Wall in Space" to defend against missiles only from China, and not from Russia or any rogue nations, as is the publicly stated purpose.
		And that is most probably the reason for the "emergency" construction of the missile silos at Fort Greely by the year 2004; for the protection of the HAARP antennas and transmitters, and not for the defense of the nation.
		Since the nearby incoming enemy Scud-type missiles would not be high enough to be affected by the HAARP radiation cloud, the missiles from Fort Greely would be able to hit their targets and not be affected by the radiation shield coming from HAARP.

	BROTHER JONATHAN GAZETTE - Son of Star Wars - The Fort Greely HAARP Connection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I did a check on the location of Fort Greely, the site of the Bush administration's proposed Star Wars missile defense system for building a space port with a bunch of missiles and a radar facility to track and destroy incoming missiles.
		Fort Greely is now largely abandoned but had been used by the US Army for its cold-testing of clothing, tanks, personnel, weapons etc ever since WWII.
		Thus it would appear that the main purpose of the current Pentagon plan for a Star Wars defensive system in Alaska at the Fort Greely facility is not for the defense of the U.S., but for the defense of the HAARP facility which is the primary U.S. defensive weapon.

		The Fort Greely Testbed will have several different inceptor elements: a missile assembly building, a missile storage building, five missile silos plus a spare silo, a readiness and control building, and various mechanical and utility buildings; interceptor communications facilities will also be built both at Fort Greely and Eareckson Air Station.
		The test bed facilities that will be constructed under this contract at the Fort Greely and Shemya installations will allow validation of potential activities associated with the GMD operational concept by testing the interoperability of the GMD components in a realistic environment.
		The Alaska District of the Corps will manage the construction through an on-site resident engineer office at Fort Greely, which is located about 95 miles southeast of Fairbanks (and 400 miles northeast of Anchorage), and at Eareckson AFS, which is about 1,500 miles west of Anchorage at the tip of the Aleutian Island chain.

	The Value of the Fort Greely Test Bed
		However, despite the fact that the five interceptors and silos at Fort Greely are included as a major part of the new Test Bed, these silos would not be used to launch either interceptor or target missiles.
		In fact, if there is a potential problem with fuel degradation at Fort Greely, it would be premature and a potential waste of money to build five silos there before this issue is adequately understood.
		Rather, the decision to build the Fort Greely silos and upgrade the Cobra Dane radar appears to reflect a desire on the part of the Bush administration to deploy something quickly, even if it is only symbolic.

		Initial testing would be conducted from Kodiak but that "does not preclude" using Fort Greely for test launches, he said, according to Defense Daily.
		"They're trying to undercut the question of why (Fort Greely) is part of the testbed when you're not going to test anything there," she said.
		Using the 600-mile rule, the booster drop zone for a Fort Greely launch might be in the Gulf of Alaska if the interceptor were heading south, Bristol Bay or Southwest Alaska if it went to the southwest, and the Yukon River Delta or Norton Sound if the direction were more to the west.

		As for deployment of an emergency capability at Fort Greely, the scientists said, even upgraded radar systems in Alaska would not be able to distinguish incoming warheads from decoys.

		Abstract: The U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Greely, Alaska, proposes to establish and operate one or more sources of borrow materials (aggregate and fill materials) on the installation for installation construction projects beginning as early as March 2004.
		Alternative 2 would establish a new 40-hectare (100-acre) Directorate of Public Works Borrow Pit southeast of the main cantonment area on Fort Greely between East Post Road and Landfill Road to be used for current and future public works projects on Fort Greely.
		Borrow materials for any existing or future projects at Fort Greely would be obtained from an existing borrow pit located adjacent to the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Validation of Operational Concept test site or purchased from a source outside of the installation.
