urban "encroachment"?[edit]

I was under the apparently-mistaken impression that the military exists to enable things like urban environments. It is therefor impossible for an urban environment to encroach on a military installation.

What is actually meant here, and can someone say that instead please? 73.170.203.143 (talk) 18:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

sections in wrong article[edit]

Cold Regions Test Center and Tropic Regions Test Centers should be in proving grounds not Yuma Proving Ground. Yuma is the desert and has nothing to do with the tropics or cold regions. Going to go remove the sections. Someone can put them in the correct article if they want but this isn't the right place.73.170.203.143 (talk) 23:30, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Yuma Test Center does the desert testing. Yuma Proving Grounds controls three different test centers, Yuma Test Center, Cold Regions Test Center, and the Tropic Regions Test Center. If this article was just about the Yuma Test Center then okay, but it's not for it's about the Yuma Proving Grounds who command headquarters happens to be at the Yuma Test Center. --McChizzle (talk) 00:29, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
