    The TC 25-1 Training Circular specifies the Army's requirements for maneuver training land essential for operational and institutional missions. It outlines the strategic framework governing the management and sustainability of training lands, emphasizing the need for realistic training environments that reflect operational demands. Key components include the Army Training Land Strategy (ATLS), which guides land management practices, and the Sustainable Range Program (SRP) designed to optimize range operations and maintain training land accessibility. The document delineates various types of maneuver training areas, their specific purposes, and the necessary land requirements based on units' operational needs, notably Brigade Combat Teams (BCT). It explains how available, accessible, and capable training lands are assessed, considering environmental and logistical constraints. Additionally, it details the methodologies for calculating land requirements through a systematic approach based on units' training tasks and ensures compliance with environmental regulations. Overall, TC 25-1 serves as a crucial resource for Army commanders and training managers, offering guidelines to enhance training effectiveness while safeguarding environmental integrity and ensuring readiness across all Army components.
