Attention to all units & personnel:
This is an urgent advisory to units training west of the Gila Mountains to be on the lookout for Sonoran Pronghorn. Take all reasonable measures to ensure that the animal is not harassed or harmed. If the animal is seen in the vicinity of the Range Training Area or anywhere in the line of fire, training should be temporarily halted until the animal vacates the area on its own. Speed limits should be strictly adhered to on all authorized roads in the area. If a pronghorn is observed, vehicles should slow and make way for the animal until it vacates the immediate area.
