AI plain-language summary

This bill extends the military's use of certain public lands for 25 more years. It allows the military to keep using training ranges at Fort Greely and Fort Wainwright in Alaska, McGregor Range at Fort Bliss in New Mexico, and Fort Irwin in California until 2051. While the military uses these lands, they cannot be used for things like mining or other public land activities. The bill also makes small technical changes to how some of these land areas are described.
