| 1. Department of Military Affairs. This supplemental appropriates Federal funds for three projects at Camp Grayling that were recently added to the Federal Military Construction Program. Each of the $3.0 million projects require no State match, and are focused on training at the individual and squad levels. The projects include: a. Live Fire Shoot House. The live fire shoot house is a small high-level controlled environment that focuses specifically on the training of four-person assault teams going inside a building to either secure or fight inside the structure. b. Urban Assault Course. The Course provides the ability for combat leaders to train and evaluate their individual soldiers and unit during live fire exercise and non-live fire in a built-up urban area. c. Infantry Squad Battle Course (ISBC). The ISBC is designed specifically to train a squad of soldiers. The ISBC is training soldiers on foot patrol, (how to react to and engage the enemy in a non-urban setting). | 9,000,000 |
| Natural Resources - Waterways Boating Program. The original appropriation for the Mitchell State Park seawall replacement and walkway project totaled $1,250,000 ($937,500 Federal/$312,500 State). Initial costs were based on preliminary engineering estimates. The project involves the extensive use of steel in a 1,500 foot seawall that connects Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell. The cost increase results from higher than anticipated costs for steel and other components. This supplemental (all Federal), along with a recommended $187,500 FY 2006-07 transfer, would bring the total cost of the project to $2,000,000. | 562,500 |
