- # Training Resumption and Limitations
## Overview
This entity is a text segment extracted from a larger document, identified by its position between lines 392 and 401. It was processed on January 27, 2026, by an automated system named "structure-extraction-lambda." The segment discusses the resumption and restrictions of U.S. Navy training activities on the island of Vieques, with specific conditions placed on the use of ordnance and training duration.
## Context
The segment is part of the [More Classics](arke:01KFXT0KM64XT6K8W52TDEE0YS) collection, a curated set of documents described as including works from the western canon. While the thematic focus of the collection appears literary or educational, this segment stands out for its political and military subject matter, suggesting inclusion for historical or rhetorical significance. The extraction and editing were managed by the "Structure Extraction" service ([Structure Extraction](arke:01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H)), indicating it was processed through a formal document analysis pipeline.
## Contents
The text outlines a conditional resumption of Navy training on Vieques, Puerto Rico, beginning in March. Key limitations include the exclusive use of inert ordnance (no live fire) and a cap of 90 training days per year—half the previous level and significantly reduced from 182 days two years prior. The segment also references an upcoming vote by the people of Vieques on U.S. Navy training, to be preceded by at least three months of public debate. These measures reflect a compromise balancing military readiness with local concerns over safety and sovereignty.

- live fire training, on terms proposed by the United States Navy. It has not been determined yet what day this vote will occur – but when it is, the people of Vieques will have at least three months to debate the question before voting.
In the meantime, we are taking several other steps.
First, Navy training on Vieques will resume in March.
Second, I am ordering that the training done on Vieques in the period leading up to the vote will be limited to only inert ordnance – no live fire and to 90 days a year – half of the 1998 goal.
Third, while the Navy and Marine Corps will resume training on Vieques, I have cut in half the amount of time they will spend training. Two years ago, our troops trained for 182 days on Vieques. This year, they will be authorized for 90 days, which is what we need to meet our essential training needs.
