Abstract:
This study investigated the multifaceted implications of overgrazing in military training areas
on military operations and human security in the Monduli District. The study employed a
mixed-methods approach, including interviews, observations, and questionnaires, to collect
data from key stakeholders. Participants included military personnel, local communities,
environmental experts, and government officials. The study was conducted in the Monduli
District, an area significantly impacted by overgrazing in military training zones. The study
focused on this specific context to produce contextually relevant and actionable findings. The
findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on the intersection of environmental
degradation, military activities, and human security. The research outcomes provided insights
for policymakers, military planners, and local communities on the implications of overgrazing
in military training areas. Additionally, the study offers recommendations and strategies to
mitigate the negative effects of overgrazing, promoting sustainable land management
practices and fostering long-term security in the Monduli District. Throughout the research,
ethical considerations were a priority, with informed consent, confidentiality, and respect for
participants' rights and perspectives upheld. Ethical clearance was obtained from relevant
authorities, ensuring adherence to ethical guidelines throughout the study. This report serves
as a valuable resource for those interested in understanding and addressing the challenges
posed by overgrazing in military training areas and its impact on both military operations and
human security.
