Army to settle for limited use of Wichita Mountains refuge
Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker indicated the Department plans a limited use permit of about 10,700 acres of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Fort Sill if interior land transfers stall in Congress. He said the Army needs space for Fort Sill training and the Corporal missile program, while noting the Interior Department has refused an unrestricted permit despite congressional authorization for land transfer and additional acreage.
