Description: The dataset depicts the authoritative boundaries of the most commonly known Department of Defense (DoD) sites, installations, ranges, and training areas in the United States and Territories. These sites encompass land which is federally owned or otherwise managed. This dataset was created from source data provided by the four Military Service Component headquarters and was compiled by the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) Program within the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment, Business Enterprise Integration Directorate. Sites were selected from the 2010 Base Structure Report (BSR), a summary of the DoD Real Property Inventory. This list does not necessarily represent a comprehensive collection of all Department of Defense facilities, and only those in the fifty United States and US Territories were considered for inclusion. For inventory purposes, installations are comprised of sites, where a site is defined as a specific geographic location of federally owned or managed land and is assigned to military installation. DoD installations are commonly referred to as a base, camp, post, station, yard, center, homeport facility for any ship, or other activity under the jurisdiction, custody, control of the DoD.
Description: This was created based on a description of the accident potential zone in the 1993 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study for Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington (formerly Andrews Air Force Base). The boundaries of each zone was entered using ARC/INFO COGO. The associated attributes were added and the zones used to identify the potential for accidents as a guide for the intensity of development permitted based on the AICUZ Study.

Description: This was created based on the digitized noise contours as found in the 2007 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Study for Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington. The associated attributes were entered and the zones used to identify the noise impacts associated with development proposed in the vicinity of Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington.

Description: This definition/description of Runway Airspace Imaginary Surfaces is from the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study, Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, December 2007, p.4-1 to 4-4.Runway airspace imaginary surfaces, in graphical form, are the result of the application of obstruction height criteria to Andrews AFB. Imaginary surfaces are surfaces in space around airfields in relation to runways. The surfaces are designed to define the obstacle-free airspace at and around the airfield. Refer to Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-260-01, Airfield and Heliport Planning and Design (http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DOD/UFC/ufc_3_260_01.pdf), for a more complete description of runway airspace imaginary surfaces for Class B runways.
