WASHINGTON \u2014 An electronic-warfare testing range is slated for construction at Fort Gordon in Georgia, a development U.S. Army officials said will greatly bolster troop readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plans come as the service, the military\u2019s largest, reinvests in electronic warfare and electromagnetic mastery after years of neglect. The renewed interest is spurred by threats posed by Russia and China<\/a> after years spent in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton, Fort Gordon\u2019s commanding officer, on Oct. 11 said the facilities will be a place where soldiers can get familiar with their jamming and sensing gear in realistic settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic training area to leverage EW capabilities,\u201d Stanton told reporters on the sidelines of the annual Association of the U.S. Army conference<\/a> in Washington. \u201cIt is heavily wooded, it\u2019s undulated terrain. It has an airstrip built into it \u2014 lots of things that will benefit our ability to look at distances that matter in large-scale maneuver environments, in terrain that the Army would likely find itself fighting in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
