  • The Air Force is the lead for the Department of Defense for wind energy and Special Use Airspace. Air Force wind consultants advise contacting them prior to applying for permits on all federal lands and non-federal lands, due to the existence of military Special Use Airspace (i.e., military airspace below 300' above ground level) used for military testing and training across the United States. The Air Force will work to ensure that potential sites are mutually safe, secure, and efficient. Contact airforcewindconsult@pentagon.af.mil
