Increased Flexibility for Military Land Management Off-Installation (Sikes Act).

This bill increases flexibility in managing lands off military installations by allowing cooperative agreements to consider not only current or anticipated military activities but also the general operations of the military or State-owned National Guard installations. While primarily focused on military procedures and conservation, this change may indirectly affect the accessibility and management of lands adjacent to bases, impacting local communities and the environment. The goal is to better support military missions through more efficient natural resource management.
