USAYPG is located near the Arizona-California border, approximately 26 miles north of the City of Yuma, Arizona. USAYPG is 1,300 square miles, large enough to allow U.S. Army weapon systems to fully exercise their capabilities without endangering the public, the isolation to avoid encroachment, the climate and vegetation to avoid environmental issues, and the sea level altitude critical for a helicopter test center.

1.3 Scope

Contractor shall provide non-personal services necessary to perform aviation support for USAYPG and/or other test sites (on and off USAYPG property), throughout the United States, and elsewhere. Typical temporary duty sites have been Dugway Proving Ground, UT, Baltimore, MD, Phoenix, AZ, Tucson, AZ, Point Mugu, CA, and China Lake, CA.
