## What the grant funds

The Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC), Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), Twentynine Palms, is the Marine Corps’ largest combined-arms, live-fire training facility, encompassing 1,102 square miles of mostly public lands in the Mojave Desert, California. The Combat Center is divided into 27 range training area management units, each of which may contain training areas, landing fields, targetry, main supply routes, fixed ranges, support areas, expeditionary areas, and safety buffer zones. Armed forces use the Combat Center to train troops and test equipment. MCAGCC annually provides training to one-third of the Fleet Marine Force and Reserves Units. The Conservation Branch of the Environmental Affairs Division is responsible for the long-term management of cultural and natural resources within MCAGCC. MCAGCC has significant cultural resources that are managed according to MAGTFTC’s Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP). The Conservation Branch liaises with other Federal landholders and consults with state and Federal regulatory agencies regarding cultural resources. This branch is the primary agent responsible for the planning and implementation of the ICRMP, ensures that MCAGCC land use is monitored, and guides implementation of the best practices for cultural resource management while sustaining or enhancing the Marine Corps training mission. The Conservation Branch maintains a cultural resources collection that represents the archaeological history of MCAGCC and other Marine Corps installations in the region. The collection also includes reports describing archaeological finds, and artifact analyses and dispositions. The collection is housed at MCAGCC, but many collection components have not been properly accessioned, and the collection inventory is out of date. To comply with federal regulations and the installation’s ICRMP, the collection must be properly inventoried, with new items accessioned in a formal, documented manner. Once updated, the collection will be a research resource to better understand the archaeological context of the native peoples who traditionally used the area that is now MCAGCC. Field visits and surveys are essential tools for enhancing cultural resource management. MCAGCC’s significant natural resources are fundamental aspects of MCAGCC’s military training environment.
