Military Training Lands Historic Context: Large Arms Ranges

Fort Leonard Wood miscellaneous buildings, NRHP Section 110 inventory and evaluation

“…In reviewing existing historic contexts for the DoD and for FLW (Archibald et al 2010a(Archibald et al , 2010b(Archibald et al , 2010cHampton 2012;Hartman et al in process;Smith et al 2003Smith et al , 2007Smith and Adams 2008;Smith et al 2010), the researchers determined the following list of significant themes: A total of 54 buildings in Table 10 were found to match one or more of the significant themes above and were studied further for significance and integrity and ultimately, for eligibility to the NRHP (see recommendations in Table 11). The 44 other buildings listed in Chapter 1 were found not to be significant to the history of FLW and were not further studied, and they were found to be not eligible to the NRHP.…”

“…Thus, none of the 31 buildings has retained integrity or is individually eligible for the NRHP. Each range was also looked at for its overall eligibility to the NRHP as a historic district under the determination methods found in a series of four ERDC-CERL Military Training Lands Historic Contexts reports, which cover small arms, large arms, villages, and miscellaneous ranges on training lands (Archibald et al 2010a(Archibald et al , 2010b(Archibald et al , 2010cSmith et al 2010). Since all of the buildings were constructed or erected during the Vietnam War, each range was also looked at under the determination methods found in the Vietnam and the Home Front: Ground Combat Training report (Hartman et al in process).…”
