U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. M. C. Nerl/Released 110125-M-0000T-007.jpg

Mangled vehicles and building rubble set a realistic scene the 274-acre Combined Arms Military Operations on Urban Terrain range complex at Range 220. The $170 million project, unveiled Jan. 25, 2011, encompasses 274 acres of training space organized into seven separate mock city districts. Marines will use the 1,560 building range, roughly equivalent in size to downtown San Diego, to practice and refine the complex and dangerous tactics they will use while deployed to urban settings around the world. The layout of the city confronts Marines with a full range of tactical challenges from humanitarian relief efforts to peacekeeping and law enforcement to direct combat, all of which can take place in a tightly compressed “real world” timeline known to Marines as the “three block war.” The new range is the largest of its kind in the Marine Corps.
