The Department of the Army (DA) announces scoping meetings to engage public participation in the environ-mental impact statement process that will address the permanent stationing of the 5th SBCT (currently the designated as the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division) in Hawaii and other reasonable alternate locations.
