Should this even be public? "Preparing for the PROVEN INEVITABLE: An Urban Operations Training Strategy for America’s Joint Force" http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2006/RAND_MG439.pdf This document mentions a "platoon purpose-built" facility used by the Army in Lydd. It also lists hundreds of MOUT and MOUT-like sites around the world. A very interesting document. |

Google Maps shows it as "Jury's Gap". A seawall around a low lying village perhaps? http://www.bbc.co.uk/southerncounties/content/image_galleries/then_now_gallery.shtml?10 Old Coast Guard station? http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/news/1482832?lang=_e®ion=&projectstatus=&theme=&subject=&searchfor=&topic=&area=&month= |

The US military refers to these as MOUT but the Brits use the acronym FIBUA (Fighting In Built Up Areas). This site refers to the nearby town of Camber and the nearest road (Lyn Road) and mentions the MOD (Ministry of Defense) FIBUA site. http://www.obyto.co.uk/walks/dungeness.htm |
