Military installations, live ranges and military property 119. To carry out assigned tasks, the armed forces need military installations where they can work and be accommodated in. This includes training areas, munition deposits, storage of materials and areas devoted to the defence of the territory. The national arrangement of the armed forces is planned as a result of specific military requirements and with it come economic advantages. Although sometimes these installations can result in different levels of costs there are benefits for the local population. Despite this, military installations are unavoidable and essential in guaranteeing the safety of all citizens. 120. The State’s military property includes installations that are engaged in national defence. These installations include ports, airports, fortifications, barracks, administrative and logistic facilities of various types and deposits. State property provides a logistical element critical to the proper functioning of the armed forces, which must be effective and beneficial when in use. For these reasons, the Defence has started a process of assessing the actual needs of those areas that are no longer considered necessary, returning them to the community for their full use. In addition to this activity, the Defence will start a census of the limitations, established by Legislative Decree n.66 / 2010, which are subject to areas adjacent to military property and examine every possibility to keep restrictions to a minimum. - 55 -
