Brief History: Makua Military Reservation became an installation when the federal government exercised its option to set aside the land for its continued use, shortly after Hawai‘i became a state. Following the excess of approximately 2,350 acres along the current northern border prior to 1994, the installation footprint was reduced to 4,249 acres.

Range / Site Description: Currently, this 4,249-acre site provides a company/platoon battle course and a multipurpose range complex (MPRC) for U.S. Army Pacific Command. However, it should be noted that four of these 4,249 acres compose a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permitted open burn / open detonation (OB/OD) area.
