THEATER CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
B-18. The TCMS is a personal, computer-based automated construction planning, design, management,
and reporting system that is used by military engineers for contingency construction activities. Its primary
purpose is to support engineer planners with facilities design information for outside the continental United
States (OCONUS) and contingency mission requirements. It is intended to be used by all levels of engineer
units from the theater engineer command down to the engineer company level.
B-19. The TCMS is the approved method for distributing the AFCS designs and related information. The
AFCS provides logistical and engineering data that is organized, coded, and published to assist engineer
planners and designers in executing GE missions in contingency environments. AFCS is governed by the
following:
z
AR 415-16.
z
TM 5-301-1.
z
TM 5-301-2.
z
TM 5-301-3.

z
TM 5-302-3.
z
TM 5-302-4.
z
TM 5-302-5.
z
TM 5-303.
B-20. The system determines personnel and materiel requirements and the cost, weight, and volume of
materials needed for a specific project. It provides standard plans for base camp development, utilities, and
airfields. The TCMS is updated and distributed annually.
B-21. The TCMS provides the automation tools necessary to use the AFCS designs information to
accomplish TO engineering and construction activities in support of mission requirements. It contains
detailed project descriptions and related construction estimates to include the following:
z
Real estate requirements.
z
Design and construction drawings and plans.
z
BOM for individual facilities or the complete project.
z
Construction resource estimates as related to Army engineer unit construction capability (will be
updated to include other Service engineer unit capabilities as well).
z
Theater-oriented construction guide specifications.
z

THEATER CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ASSESSMENT
B-22. Distribution of TCMS is available upon request to all U.S. military engineer units, including all
Active Component, USAR, and ARNG. This includes requests from all other Service engineers.
B-23. The Huntsville Center of the USACE provides active TCMS support and trains TCMS users in the
basic operation of the system. To take full advantage of the system, users will need to know how to use
commercial software packages. Automated computer-assisted design
(AutoCAD®) and Microsoft
Project™ constitute a large portion of the TCMS capability.

Reporting and Communication
B-28. The TCMS develops and transmits the necessary reports up the engineer chain of command. This
facilitates the decision-making process using inter computer electronic and direct entry.
WATER RESOURCE DETECTION TEAM
PURPOSE
B-29. The objective of the water resource detection team (WRDT) is to identify high-potential areas for the
best quality of water, within available drilling equipment capability, to meet the water production
requirements of the mission.
CAPABILITIES
B-30. Water resources database (WRDB) expertise and studies are concentrated in four areas or elements.
The four areas or elements are listed below:
z
Database. The Topographic Engineering Center produces and maintains a worldwide DOD
WRDB of available water supply and hydrologic data, including groundwater resources. The
WRDB is derived from classified and open-source data, maps, documents, and imagery. When
specific missions and requests are received for areas where data are uncertain or inconclusive,
the team will research additional sources and data unique to the area. The resulting WRDT
product or report summarizes the information critical to planning a successful well, such as the
hydrogeology, target depth, aquifer material, expected yield, and probable water quality. Office
studies, based on research and analysis of existing data, are the most cost-effective and timely
WRDT approach and take hours to days to complete.
z
Remote sensing. If databases and other supplemental information are inadequate, aerial or
satellite imagery may be studied and analyzed for indications of groundwater. This source is
especially useful in a hard-rock area, where siting wells on significant fractures and fracture
intersections is the key to success. The acquisition and analysis of imagery increases the time
and cost to complete an office study.
z
Supporting specialists. If office studies including imagery analysis are inadequate, one or more
supporting specialists may be deployed to the site. These specialists contact HN groundwater
experts, collect and evaluate in-country data associated with existing or historic wells, and
conduct hydrogeologic field reconnaissance of specific areas before drilling. They may also
assist with interpreting well cuttings and down-hole electric logging during drilling. Field
studies take days to weeks to complete.
z
Geophysics. Should information gathered by supporting specialists be insufficient, additional
local site investigation may be necessary using exploratory geophysics. Geophysicists may
deploy to the site to conduct electrical resistivity, seismic refraction, or other on-site tests to
better define the subsurface before drilling. Geophysical exploration and data analysis generally
take weeks to complete. Costs are significantly higher than for office-based studies and are paid
by the requester.
B-31. When activated, the WRDT does not automatically deploy to provide technical support for military
operations. The starting point for each WRDT request is to identify high-potential areas through the
examination of existing databases, followed by the collection and analysis of additional sources and
imagery. In those rare cases when high-potential water sites cannot be identified from source data and
imagery, teams from the supporting specialists and/or geophysics elements can be deployed for on-site
investigations. This should take place before the arrival of the well drillers. If deployed to the TO, the
WRDT operates as a component of the theater engineer command or senior engineer organization in
B-8
FM 3-34.400

theater. As with any USACE capability, activation of the WRDT for deployment is not automatic; it must
be requested through the supporting theater engineer command or through other appropriate command
channels to the Topographic Engineering Center. The commander provides and arranges for the WRDT
logistics and administrative support necessary for mission accomplishment.
AUTOMATED ROUTE RECONNAISSANCE KIT
PURPOSE
B-32. An ARRK provides military units an adaptable, easy-to-use reconnaissance package. This allows
engineer reconnaissance teams or other engineer reconnaissance elements to rapidly collect and process
reconnaissance (all types, but generally route) information.
CAPABILITIES
B-33. The ARRK uses a field-ready laptop computer to continuously collect reconnaissance information
without stopping or leaving the vehicle for routine calculations. Time, security, and accuracy issues
associated with a route reconnaissance are reduced. The ARRK collects pictures, voice recordings, GPS
locations, accelerometer, and gyroscope data streams in three dimensions. Unlike the traditional, manually
recorded route reconnaissance efforts, the ARRK allows an operator with minimum training experience to
collect, process, and export route information. The ARRK accommodates a chronological, picture replay of
the route and georeferenced display of major features that affect the classification and usage of the road or
route. The viewer of the data can scroll through the stored data types to instantly locate specific features
along the route. Data includes automated determination of slope, radius of curvature, and ride quality. The
reconnaissance data collected from the ARRK is quickly converted by the operator to a preformatted report
that is according to the requirements of FM 3-34.170. Planned improvements for the system include the
integration of a laser range finder and digital scale reference guide. The system has the capability to be a
stand-alone data collection tool and a fully interoperable data collection platform for dissemination and a
repository of route information.
ANTITERRORISM PLANNER, VERSION 2.1
PURPOSE
B-34. The AT Planner is based on threat, mission, and site considerations. It is designed to assist
commanders in planning, implementing, and evaluating protective measures, expedient structure designs,
and standoff guidance required for protection.
CAPABILITIES
B-35. The AT Planner provides the user with a computerized analysis tool for evaluating critical assets in
terrorist threat scenarios based on aggressors, tactics, and weapons systems. The threat conditions dictate a
number of security measures from this manual that the user must consider and possibly employ. These
measures are cumulative from the lowest to the highest threat level and are presented in the AT Planner in
a concise format. Emphasis has been placed on the evaluation of structural components, windows,
personnel, and other limited critical assets. Structural components are defined as frames, walls, and roofs
from common construction materials. Damage to the building components is calculated using algorithms
from the Facility and Component Explosive Damage Assessment Program (FACEDAP), with the user
providing the distance of the explosive charge from the building.
B-36. The AT Planner can provide the required standoff for a given explosive charge. Once the appropriate
standoff is determined based on expected explosive size and an acceptable level of building damage, the
AT Planner provides information on protective barriers and a vehicle velocity calculator to aid in barrier
and obstacle selection. Extensive information is available on various types of obstacles and protective
barriers and the information source is referenced. In addition, the AT Planner provides a basis for the
design and analysis of wall and window retrofits. The capability is available to view facility or site images,

locate assets on the site image, and show building damage in 2-D and 3-D graphical formats. Blast walls
can be placed in front of structures, and the resulting damage to a protected building is then calculated.
Glass hazard calculations have been incorporated along with user-defined, pressure-impulse curves to give
engineers more flexibility in evaluating structures.
B-37. The AT Planner contains algorithms to estimate injuries and fatalities to occupants of structures and
provides the consequences of a terrorist attack for the AT program planning. The AT Planner can be
obtained by contacting ERDC.
DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK AND INFORMATION
EXCHANGE
PURPOSE
B-38. The Defense Environmental Network and Information Exchange
(DENIX) is an electronic
environmental bulletin board accessible throughout the DOD. It gives DOD environmental, safety, and
occupational health managers a central communications platform to gain timely access to vital
environmental information.
CAPABILITIES
B-39. DENIX, which was based on the Army’s Defense Environmental Electronic Bulletin Board System,
gives users the ability to—
z
Read online environmental publications (proprietary or DOD-specific).
z
Send and receive mail electronically on the DENIX host computer or across the Internet.
z
Exchange environmental information via managed discussion forums based on a subject area.
z
Send and receive required reporting data through the chain of command.
z
Peruse and request environmental training courses and seminars.
z
Access the DENIX directory service database.
z
Upload and download files from DENIX to and from a personal computer.
UNITED STATES ARMY CENTER FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
PURPOSE
B-40. The USACHPPM has a mission to provide worldwide technical support for implementing preventive
medicine, public health, and health promotion and wellness services into all aspects of America's Army and
the Army community, anticipating and rapidly responding to operational needs and adaptable to a changing
world environment. The USACHPPM organization is headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground,
Maryland, with subordinate commands in Landstuhl, Germany, and Sagami, Japan. USACHPPM also
maintains subordinate commands at three locations across the United States: Fort Meade, Maryland; Fort
McPherson, Georgia; and Fort Lewis, Washington.
CAPABILITIES
B-41. The USACHPPM is a linchpin of medical support to combat forces and the military managed-care
system. It provides worldwide scientific expertise and services in clinical and field preventive medicine,
environmental and occupational health, health promotion and wellness, epidemiology and disease
surveillance, toxicology, and related laboratory sciences. It supports readiness by keeping Soldiers fit to
fight, while also promoting wellness among their families and the federal civilian workforce. Professional
disciplines represented include chemists, physicists, engineers, physicians, optometrists, epidemiologists,
audiologists, nurses, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, entomologists, and many others as well as
subspecialties within these professions.

Infrastructure Rating
Table C-1, pages C-1 through C-4, is provided as an example of how the staff
engineer (as the integrating staff proponent) can communicate the results of an
infrastructure assessment or survey to the commander. While the areas are generally
the same as the areas included in the infrastructure assessment worksheet, the
evaluation criteria for some of the rated areas may require more specific information,
such as that provided in the survey. It is intended that the individual conducting the
assessment or survey also complete the infrastructure rating as a part of a complete
infrastructure reconnaissance. See chapter 4 for more information on infrastructure
assessment and survey.

Appendix D
Environmental Considerations
GE involves a significant number of environmental considerations in the planning
and execution of military operations. The level of environmental considerations
applied to a particular military operation will be articulated in annex L of the CCDR’s
OPORD and must be linked to the engineering decisions and guidance articulated in
the engineering support plan. The engineer and ENCOORD on the staff is
responsible for ensuring that these considerations are appropriately integrated into the
OPLAN and followed in the execution of GE tasks and missions. Efforts should
always be made to minimize the release of hazardous substances into the
environment, protect cultural and natural resources, and prevent pollution.
Operational necessity may at times supersede these concerns, but that is never an
excuse for not considering them and minimizing detrimental effects whenever
possible. Commanders protect the natural and cultural environment in which U.S.
forces operate, to the greatest extent possible, consistent with operational
requirements. Environmental restoration may be performed by engineer troop units as
GE tasks, but this is generally in support of the USACE when the area is being
considered for other uses or closure.
GENERAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
D-1. Environmental considerations are not issues for only the engineer, and yet the engineer is the staff
proponent for the integration of environmental considerations. This is very similar to the responsibility that
the S-2, G-2, or J-2 has for the integration of the IPB. In both cases, the integrator on the staff works with
and assimilates all staff efforts in his respective AOR; and in both cases, the respective staff officer has the
responsibility for the creation of an annex/appendix within the OPLAN/OPORD. Environmental
considerations are factors that the engineer integrates as the engineer staff running estimate is done.
Obtaining knowledge of environmentally sensitive areas and associated impacts is done by coordinating
with other staff officers like the judge advocate general; surgeon; S-2, G-2, and J-2; public affairs officer;
and others. The combatant command and subordinate joint force engineer and staff develop and assist with
the implementation of the policies, procedures, and practices of the environmental considerations annex to
an OPLAN and/or OPORD. See annex L, Environmental Considerations, to CJCSM 3122.03A for
additional information. In Army plans and orders, appendix 2, Environmental Considerations, to annex F,
Engineer, is the parallel document to annex L in a joint OPLAN/OPORD. See FM 3-100.4 for additional
information.
D-2. Because of the nature of GE and its potentially large impact on the environment, engineers must be
very sensitive to environmental considerations in all GE tasks and missions. While the risks associated
with close combat may in some situations override those associated with damage to the environment, GE
projects typically are able to give more weight to the risks associated with applying environmental
considerations. General guidance on this should be provided in the OPLAN of the CCDR and then further
linked to and specified in the engineering support plan.
D-3. Evolving guidance on environmental protection may be forthcoming through the establishment of a
JEMB. A JEMB may be established by the CCDR or subordinate JFC for a joint operation to integrate the
environmental-protection efforts of all participating components under a single authority, ensuring the
unity of effort for environmental protection and other environmental consideration activities. The JEMB
9 December 2008
FM 3-34.400
D-1
Appendix D
should be chaired by the combatant command or subordinate joint force (J-4) or joint force engineer, and
include representatives from each Service component and joint force staff as necessary (legal, occupational
health, preventive medicine, safety, comptroller, planning, operations, and logistics). The JEMB assists the
JFC in establishing the joint force environmental policies, practices, procedures, and priorities and in
providing oversight of environmental protection standards and compliance. Establishing a dedicated and
appropriately staffed environmental engineering staff, supported by experts from other joint force staff
members (legal and medical), may eliminate the need for a JEMB in smaller operations.
ENGINEER COORDINATOR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
D-4. The ENCOORD is the special staff officer for coordinating engineer assets and operations for the
command. As the senior engineer officer in the force, he advises the commander on environmental issues,
to include the command environmental program. Working with other staff officers, the ENCOORD
determines the impact of operations on the environment and integrating environmental considerations into
the decision-making process. He works with the G-4 in performing site assessments for installations and
facilities. With the SJA, the ENCOORD advises the commander on the necessity for environmental
assessments to meet HN or Executive Order (EO) 12114 requirements. He is also responsible for advising
the J-2, G-2, and S-2 of significant environmental factors and ensuring that these impacts are integrated
into the IPB process. See FM 34-130 for more information. Additionally, FM 5-0 directs that OPLANs,
OPORDs, and concept plans (CONPLANs) contain an appendix to address environmental considerations.
Through coordination with the unit staff, the ENCOORD prepares appendix
2, Environmental
Considerations, to annex F, Engineer. See FM 3-100.4 for the specific appendix format and content.
D-5. Engineers proactively advise the commander on environmental issues which promote awareness in
the unit and success during operations. As the commander’s lead advisor for integrating environmental
considerations and working with other staff officers, the engineer determines the impact of the operation,
mission, and task on the environment and integrates environmental considerations into the decision-making
process. Equally important is integrating the associated FHP issues of the effect of the environment on
personnel, and recognizing how the environmental changes caused by GE and other tasks/missions can
ultimately create changes in the environment that then have a corresponding environmental effect on
personnel. Cause and effect relationships must be well understood.
D-6. Commanders, the engineer, and other staff officers should refer to AR 40-5, DA Pamphlet 40-11,
FM 3-34, FM 3-100.4, FM 5-0, FM 6-0, Technical Bulletin (TB) Medical (MED) 577, and Training Guide
(TG) 248 for guidance in applying appropriate environmental consideration procedures during military
operations.
D-7. The integration of medical expertise is especially critical. The combatant command and subordinate
joint force surgeon are responsible for health services support (preventive medicine and occupational
health) to the joint force. Priorities are on water and wastewater, including water vulnerability assessment
support, sanitation, waste disposal (hazardous and infectious waste); health risk assessment (base camp site
selection); environmental health sampling; and surveillance and vector control to protect human health and
welfare.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING
D-8. Environmental requirements can be divided into overseas requirements and requirements applicable
in the United States and its territories and possessions, although some U.S. environmental requirements
may have extraterritorial application. For example, EO 12114 establishes requirements for the conduct of
environmental studies for activities conducted overseas, somewhat similar to the environmental analysis
requirements mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act regarding operations conducted within
the United States. The SJA should be consulted to determine extraterritorial applicability. The activation
and incorporation of environmental management systems is critical for all DOD organizations
(see
EO 13148), regardless of whether they operated within the United States or outside of the United States
and its territories. Requirements applicable within CONUS may not be applicable to OCONUS situations

Environmental Considerations
that are linked to applicable international treaties, conventions, overseas environmental baseline guidance
documents, SOFAs, field governing standards, and other international agreements. Finally, in some
contingency situations, formal standards and requirements may not exist and it will be necessary for the
CCDR to articulate standards and requirements in annex L of the appropriate OPLAN or OPORD. See FM
3-100.4 for a more focused discussion on environmental requirements affecting Army operations and,
more specifically, contingency or expeditionary operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING NEEDS
D-9. By considering environmental issues early during the planning process, the commander may
continue to achieve operational objectives while minimizing the impact on human health and the
environment. Failure to consider the environmental impact of all activities may adversely affect the
operation. Potential effects include endangering personnel, delaying operation commencement, limiting the
future use of exercise or HN areas, and creating an adverse public opinion. Through early assessment of
environmental considerations, commanders may become aware of the potential environmental effects or
impacts of mission accomplishment while alternatives to address mitigating actions still exist. By planning
early, the commander and staff must be aware of the environmental requirements and be able to plan more
effectively and act to incorporate environmental considerations. Furthermore, careful and visible attention
to environmental considerations in military operations can assist in shaping a positive image, both
internationally and domestically.
D-10. Integrating environmental considerations into planning is very similar to integrating safety and
protection issues. FM 3-100.4 discusses environmental planning and focuses on how and where the Army
integrates environmental considerations into the MDMP. As part of the MDMP, risk management is an
effective process to minimize actions that may negatively impact the environment and take appropriate
steps to prevent or mitigate damage.
ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING
D-11. The staff should plan the operation to achieve mission objectives while minimizing the
environmental effects and observing environmental requirements. Although not all of the following
elements are applicable to all operations
(some, such as identification of alternatives to obtaining
objectives, are not required for operations overseas), they may prove helpful during planning:
z
Identifying operational objectives and the activities that are proposed to obtain these objectives,
including logistics and the identification of HAZMAT that may be used.
z
Identifying potential alternative means of obtaining operational objectives. Alternatives may
include the use of new technologies to minimize the impact on the environment.
z
Identifying the environmental requirements applicable to the operational area.
z
Identifying adverse environmental health and environmental impacts that may result from the
operation.
z
Establishing formal relationships and coordinating with other disciplines that have roles in
environmental planning and operations (medical and legal).
z
Identifying the environmental characteristics of the potentially affected area.
z
Identifying possible environmental contingencies that may occur during the operation, such as
accidental spills.
z
Determining how the environmental contingency would affect the environment in the
operational area and how it could be prevented or mitigated should it occur.
z
Determining the environmental and operational risk associated with the operation. If risks are
unacceptable, identifying alternatives that mitigate associated risks.
z
Establishing standardized identification (signage or markings) of off-limits or high-risk areas.
z
Negotiating applicable agreements to allow for the unimpeded transit of HAZMAT or waste by
military and contracted assets for environmentally sound treatment, storage, or disposal.
z
Determining contractor status, to include privileges and immunities, in support of the operation.
z
Identifying environmental resources and reachback capabilities.

KEY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
D-12. Commanders should consider environmental and FHP during each phase of an operation. In
planning and conducting military operations, regardless of geographic location, the engineer supports the
commander in giving appropriate consideration to the following:
z
Environmental conditions that preexist and impact site selection and environmental health
vulnerabilities, as well as potential U.S. liabilities associated with the operation.
z
Air emissions.
z
HAZMAT, including pesticides.
z
Hazardous waste. Appropriate disposition could include recovery, treatment, or disposal within
the operational area or, where necessary, transportation to another location for these purposes.
z
Oil and hazardous substance spill prevention, control, and response training.
z
Medical and infectious waste.
z
Solid waste.
z
Soil contamination.
z
Water and wastewater, to include sanitary wastewater.
z
Natural resources, to include endangered or threatened species and marine mammals.
z
Historic and cultural resources.
z
Noise abatement.
z
Resource and energy conservation through pollution prevention practices.
z
Camp closure and site cleanup before redeployment.
z
Incident reporting and documenting any cleanup action.
z
Excess material and equipment being transported from the tactical area in an environmentally
sound manner.
z
Contractors and their vehicles having unhindered transit across international borders.
RISK MANAGEMENT
D-13. FM 5-0 describes risk management as the process of detecting, assessing, and controlling risk arising
from operational factors and balancing risk with mission benefits. Risk management is an integral part of
the MDMP. FM 5-480 outlines the multi-Service risk management process and provides the framework for
making risk management a routine part of planning, preparing, and executing operational missions and
everyday tasks. FM
3-100.4 further clarifies the elements of risk when focused on environmental
considerations. Assessing environmental-related risks is part of the total risk management process. The
knowledge of environmental factors is key to planning and decision making. With this knowledge, leaders
quantify risks, detect problem areas, reduce the risk of injury or death, reduce property damage, and ensure
compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Unit leaders should conduct risk assessments before
conducting any training, operations, or logistical activities.

Appendix E
Base Camp Estimating and Planning Considerations
The purpose of this appendix is to provide the engineer with some basic common
planning factors and standards for base camp construction. Additional information
may be found in JP 3-34, the TMs that support TCMS, FM 101-10-1, and other
documents as identified throughout this appendix.
DEFINITIONS
STANDARDS OF CONSTRUCTION
E-1. The planning factor for the standards of construction are based on the expected duration of the
contingency and described in JP 3-34. Standards of construction as are as follows:
z
Organic (0 to 90 days).
z
Initial (0 to 24 months).
z
Temporary (6 months to 5 years).
z
Semipermanent (5 years to 10 years).
CLIMATE ZONE
E-2. There are four different climatic zones, with the temperate being the base. The work effort for other
zones is determined by applying the following factors: tropical (1.45), desert (1.15), and frigid (2.57).
QUALITY OF LIFE
E-3. The quality of life captures the operational commander’s requirements for bed-down and base camp
living standards.
BASE CAMP CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING
E-4. Table E-1 and Table E-2, page E-2, provide a summary of the engineer work effort, land
requirements, key materials, and utilities necessary for various size base camps. The tables are designed to
be used during initial planning for base camp construction.

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES
E-10. The preliminary estimate performed in planning for base camp construction should contain the
following:
z
Real estate required, in area (square feet or meters).
z
Equipment hours required for construction.
z
Man-hours required for construction, by construction skill.
z
Materiel requirements in short tons.
BASE CAMP MASTER PLANNING
E-11. Master planning is a comprehensive process that brings together a variety of personnel and their
requirements. It addresses the need to comprehensively plan future facilities to meet various and competing
interests in support of the mission. The administrative control relationships and C2 may vary from one
contingency operation to the next. The discussion in this appendix is based on the assumption that a task
force is in place and is responsible to a combatant command for executing all Title 10 responsibilities in its
AO.
z
The combatant commands role in master planning is to provide standards and appropriate
factors oversight of the base camp development process and approve the expenditure of funds
according to established policy (for example, joint acquisition review board instructions).
z
Task force commanders establish base camp planning boards at each base camp and forward
operating site. They also provide guidance on conducting planning boards, issue commander
guidance, and coordinate master planning components.
E-12. A base camp master plan is the commander’s comprehensive plan for the orderly and efficient
management and development of land, facilities, and infrastructure to support the mission.
9 December 2008
FM 3-34.400
E-7
Appendix E
E-13. Most base camps and forward operating sites will establish and run a base camp planning board and
develop a base camp master plan. Some smaller or remote forward-operating sites may fall under the
command of a larger base camp or forward-operating site that provides this support and oversight.
E-14. The development and use of a base camp master plan can enhance operational area security,
operational readiness, personnel safety, the efficient use of resources, living conditions, and the quality of
life experienced during the contingency operations. Proper zoning and improvements to the facilities and
utilities and the efficient investment of resources will increase the quality of life for all Soldiers while
enhancing their physical protection.
E-15. An organized site plan is a crucial part of a master plan. A well-designed site layout will address at
least the following:
z
Biological factors that may affect physical health.
z
Financial factors that could reduce operational and renovation costs.
z
Psychological factors that affect attitudes.
z
Social factors, including coordination and cooperation.
E-16. The base camp planning board provides the forum for base camp and forward-operating site
managers and leaders to make comprehensive, balanced decisions on the future layout of forward-
operating site facilities and infrastructure. The board should meet periodically to review and refine plans
based on changing mission priorities, with the goal of providing high-quality living and working
environments appropriate to the current mission intent while incorporating best business practices.
MASTER PLAN COMPONENTS
E-17. Typical master plans consist of long- and short-range components and a capital investment strategy.
LONG-RANGE COMPONENTS
E-18. The long-range component is an assessment of what the base camp or forward-operating site should
look like in an extended period of time (for example, 5 years). The process usually includes infrastructure,
transportation flow, zoning, aesthetics, and signage requirements. The following items that could make up
the long-range components of a master plan include─
z
Long-range analysis.
z
Environmental-baseline analysis.
z
Utilities assessment.
z
Transportation assessment.
z
Land-use analysis and zoning plan.
z
Physical security plan (overlay).
z
Fire protection plan (overlay).
z
Base camp and forward-operating site design guidelines.
z
Capacity expansion analysis.
z
Supporting graphics and overlays.
z
Ammunition holding area explosive quantity distance site plan.
SHORT-RANGE COMPONENTS
E-19. The short-range component of a master plan is the immediate or temporary solution to facility
imbalances to be used until more permanent solutions are found. Temporary solutions may include
relocations or temporary diversions in uses of facilities and temporary construction. The short-range
component includes site-specific graphics with locations of projects. The following items could make up
the short-range component:
z
An assessment of how to “get well,” analyses of alternatives, evaluation and selection of
preferred alternatives, and narrative justification for the selected COA.
z
Assets and facilities investment plan.

E-20. The base camp planning board acts as the commander’s “board of directors” to ensure the orderly
development and management of base camp or forward-operating site facilities (and supported sites). It
guides the development and maintenance of all components of the base camp and forward-operating site. It
should coordinate base camp and forward-operating site planning with the following:
z
An adjacent or nearby site.
z
Affected host-nation agencies.
E-21. The BCPB ensures that the base camp master plan does the following:
z
Addresses facility requirements for all activities of the base camp or forward-operating site and
supported areas.
z
Projects for growth or reduction in units and activities assigned to the base camp or forward
operating site based on changes in the mission.
z
Determines site-specific base camp or forward-operating site design guidelines, and adheres to
standards.
z
Reviews funding projections, advises the commander of priorities, and proposes COAs.
z
Ensures maximum efficient use of existing facilities.
z
Ensures that project plans and projects are consistent with good environmental stewardship.
z
Makes recommendations on space utilization.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
E-22. The capital investment strategy analyzes shortfalls and excesses in facilities through a tabulation of
existing and required facilities and identifies preferred action plans to solve imbalances. The
recommendations (solutions) must be consistent with the long-range component.
FACILITIES STANDARDS
E-23. The CCDR will specify the construction standards for facilities in the theater (see paragraph 11-9).
As mentioned previously, the intended life span of the facilities and infrastructure of a base camp or
forward-operating site will depend on mission-driven and economic decisions. There are three sets of
construction standards used that are determined by the expected base camp and forward-operating site life
span. During the life cycle of a base camp or forward-operating site, authorized facilities may progress
from initial to semipermanent or may be immediately established at any level depending on operational
requirements. Meeting established facility standards may be a progressive effort; however, CCDRs will
strive to meet their standards as quickly as the operational situation permits. Table E-16, pages E-10
through E-15, provides an example of possible standards for initial, temporary, and semipermanent
facilities for base camps and forward-operating sites. Permanent standards of construction have a life
expectancy of greater than 10 years. The CCDR must specifically approve permanent construction.
