The bill would also permanently protect over 700,000 acres of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge as wilderness to ensure those lands remain accessible for hunting, recreation, and wildlife management. Allowing the placement of electronic threat emitters is a top priority for the U.S. Air Force because they will provide pilots with realistic air combat training to combat the threats they would encounter in a potential conflict with a near-peer adversary, and successfully complete their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevada is home to our nation\u2019s premiere military installations and training ranges, in addition to some of the nation\u2019s most pristine public lands,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI have been working with stakeholders on this proposal to strike a balance that meets the national security needs of the U.S. Air Force while at the same time protecting Nevada\u2019s public lands and wildlife.
