U.S. Army Garrison Alaska (USAG Alaska) is near the cities of Fairbanks, North Pole, and Delta Junction in interior Alaska and is the fourth largest Army training area in the United States. USAG Alaska consists of Fort Wainwright Main Post, Fort Greely Main Post, Tanana Flats Training Area, Yukon Training Area, Donnelly Training Area, Gerstle River Training Area, Black Rapids Training Area, and Whistler Creek Training Area. Recreational activities are permitted on USAG Alaska managed lands providing those activities do not conflict with the military mission or training activities. The USAG Alaska iSportsman system has been established to facilitate public recreational access to Army managed land and to keep you informed of training area closures. 

All recreational users on USAG Alaska managed lands, 16 years of age or older, must register for an account with iSportsman and obtain a SAP. All users must check-in on the USAG Alaska iSportsman system before recreating and have proof of SAP (printed or screen shot on your phone). The SAP is good for 1 year. You can check-in the day of, or the day before, you access Army land for up to 14 days. Check-out is not required. 

All areas that are determined open for recreational use may be closed temporarily during periods of military use. Recreational areas are areas that are open to all types of recreation, including off-road vehicles (ORVs). Off-Limit and Impact Areas are restricted to public access and use year round.
