United States Navy in Vieques, Puerto Rico
The Vieques, Puerto Rico Naval Training Range is located on the island of Vieques, just outside of the main island of Puerto Rico. The training range was used for military training at the island. The military installation ended operations in 2001 and there was a military presence on the island from 1941 until 2003.
==Searching for a location==
The Department of the Navy started searching for a location to site a naval base during the 1940s. Land was purchased between 1941 to 1950 making up two parcels making up 22,000 acres or about two-thirds of the island. Of that 8,000 acres on the western end of the island was primarily used as a naval ammunition depot until the property was returned to the Municipality of Vieques on May 1, 2001.
The eastern end of the island was used for live training exercises, ship-to-shore gunfire, air-to-ground bombing and US Marine amphibious landings starting from the 1940s onward. Within that area was a 900-acre Live Impact Area (LIA) used for targeting live ordnance. The LIA was located at the eastern tip of the island and away from the civilian population.〔
