Brief Summary:
A city in Georgia, Fort Stewart, spends around $3 million each year in order to maintain wildlife management. This is going on as well as their attempt at round-the-clock exercises to support two wars. It has 279,000 acres to home five endangered species.

Short Response:
There have been many arguments in what is being done there because people think protecting the endangered species hinders the battle preparedness. I don't agree with this. There are many people working on both situations and I think both are very important, so since they can obviously manage both at the moment I don't see what the problem could be.
