Goal is to link to geographic areas to the issues 
 Identify areas by specific compatibility issues and concerns
 Narrow focus to areas where the issues exist
 Minimize areas that require controls or policies
 Link solution types and tools to specific areas
Develop an implementation strategy for preventing and 
mitigating encroachment:
 Recommendations will involve local jurisdictions, state and 
federal agencies, private organizations, and / or military
 Tie recommendations to specific military areas of concern
