What it is Filled
A military training area is a tract of land, and sometimes sea or airspace, set aside for armed forces to train, practise manoeuvres and test weapons; the registry aliases name types such as firing ranges, proving grounds, manoeuvre areas and training minefields. Access is usually restricted for safety, and such areas are governed by military and safety rules. The entry treats these as land-use facilities described factually and neutrally.
