	Fort Irwin Military Reservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fort Irwin and the National Training Center or NTC is a major training area for the United States Army.
		In 1942, the Mojave Anti-Aircraft Range was renamed Camp Irwin, in honor of MG George LeRoy Irwin, commander of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade during World War I, and it was subsumed into the Desert Training Center as one of its Cantonment areas and some of its ranges.
		From 1972 to late 1980, Fort Irwin was used primarily as a training area by the National Guard and reserve components.

		The General Accounting Office has concluded that (1) the military is at a high state of readiness and (2) the DoD has failed to demonstrate that compliance with the nation's environmental laws has significantly impeded training.

		It is important to note that none of the Army installations with red-cockaded woodpeckers have designated "critical habitat," which means that the exemptions sought by the Pentagon would have no effect on training at these bases.
