More bang for your buck: Managing the Military Training and environmental values of Military Training areas
Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, 2020Co-Authors: Rick Zentelis, Paul Hubbard, David B. Lindenmayer, Dale Roberts, Stephen DoversAbstract:Abstract Management of Military Training areas (MTA) is complex. These areas are environmentally significant, covering an estimated 250M hectares globally. Often the dedicated Military Training values of these sites are in competition with the potential for protection of local environmental values. Globally, no current MTA management approach effectively integrates both the Military Training and environmental values of these areas. We present a new conceptual model of how Military Training and environmental values of an MTA can be integrated into management. Our approach identifies and assigns a value to all Military Training and environmental values that occur on an MTA, allowing for management trade-offs to be made. We demonstrate the application of our model with a case study.

Managing Military Training-related environmental disturbance.
Journal of environmental management, 2017Co-Authors: Rick Zentelis, Stephen Dovers, Sam C. Banks, J. Dale Roberts, David B. LindenmayerAbstract:Abstract Military Training Areas (MTAs) cover at least 2 percent of the Earth's terrestrial surface and occur in all major biomes. These areas are potentially important for biodiversity conservation. The greatest challenge in managing MTAs is balancing the disturbance associated with Military Training and environmental values. These challenges are unique as no other land use is managed for these types of anthropogenic disturbances in a natural setting. We investigated how Military Training-related disturbance is best managed on MTAs. Specifically, we explored management options to maximise the amount of Military Training that can be undertaken on a MTA while minimising the amount of environmental disturbance. MTAs comprise of a number of ranges designed to facilitate different types of Military Training. We simulated Military Training-related environmental disturbance at different range usage rates under a typical range rotation use strategy, and compared the results to estimated ecosystem recovery rates from Training activities. We found that even at relatively low simulated usage rates, random allocation and random spatial use of Training ranges within an MTA resulted in environmental degradation under realistic ecological recovery rates. To avoid large scale environmental degradation, we developed a decision-making tool that details the best method for managing Training-related disturbance by determining how Training activities can be allocated to Training ranges.

Principles for integrated environmental management of Military Training areas
Land Use Policy, 2017Co-Authors: Rick Zentelis, David B. Lindenmayer, J. Dale Roberts, Stephen DoversAbstract:Military Training Areas (MTAs) cover an estimated 200–250 million hectares globally, occur in all major ecosystems, and are potentially significant conservation assets. In some jurisdictions, MTAs may be the largest terrestrial land use category that is owned and operated by a sovereign government. Despite this, MTAs are not recognised as either a conservation or environment protection resource. Further, no MTAs are managed for their environmental values, defined as aspects of the environment that are valued by society, nor is there any specific MTA management guidance that details how both the Military Training and environmental values of a MTA can be maintained. We conducted a desktop review of Australian and German MTA management documentation to determine whether they contained management principles that recognised both Military Training and environmental values. Management documentation from these two countries was chosen as they are considered to be among countries at the forefront of MTA management globally. Our review determined that both the Australian and German management regimes do not have specific management principles for these values. This is likely to be the case for the majority of MTAs globally. For the first time, we develop MTA management principles that integrate the management of both Military Training objectives and environmental values. Key to achieving this integration is an understanding of the intersection of the impacts of Military Training on the environment, and the known, or potential, environmental values of a particular Training area. To assist with the implementation of the management principles, we developed a new conceptual framework for the management of MTAs. The framework contains two adaptive management loops. The first focuses on the management of environmental values of MTAs, the second targets the Military Training values of MTAs. These two management loops facilitate for the development of management practices that optimise MTA management for both Military Training and biodiversity conservation.

incidence of injury and physical performance adaptations during Military Training
Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, 2003Co-Authors: Lars Rosendal, Henning Langberg, Arne Skovjensen, Michael KjaerAbstract:ObjectiveStrenuous physical activity, such as Military Training, is known to demand a high degree of physical performance and to cause overuse injuries. However, the exact relation between injury incidence and physical fitness level and the influence of Military Training on measures of functional pe
