    Chapter 1

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1. Overview of Bare Base Assets. The Basic Expeditionary Airfield Re-sources (BEAR) system is part of an overall Air Force strategic effort to shiftfrom a threat-based defense to a capabilities-based defense. The capabilities-

    based model focuses more on configuring forces and materiel into packagesthat are flexible enough to support the full spectrum of military operations, not

    just major theater war. BEAR meets the Air Forces requirements of a lightand lean capability to support its air expeditionary task forces force modules.These force modules provide a systematic method of presenting forces to openan airbase, provide command and control, establish an airbase, generate themission and operate an airbase. Functional experts at the tactical level haveused the recent expeditionary experience of personnel in Kosovo, Afghanistanand Iraq to group assets into packages that reduce exposure of assets to enemyaction, yet are still scaleable, modular and flexible. This system complementsthe Force Module Concept of grouping support forces with supplies for sus-taining operations a minimum of 30 days.

    1.2. General. While the Air Forces two primary legacy bare base equipment programs, Harvest Falcon and Harvest Eagle, focused on the number of troopsand number of aircraft supported, BEAR focuses on the number of austereairfields required to support the full spectrum of operations. Harvest assetsare still in the inventory but are being absorbed into and replaced by BEARsets, mainly through attrition. The Harvest and BEAR programs will both bereviewed in this handbook. See Attachment 3 for a listing of the major itemsand quantities of each in the Harvest and BEAR parent unit type codes (UTC).Attachment 7 shows a listing of major sub-UTCs.

    1.3. Harvest Falcon (HF). HF provides complete facilities for long-duration bare base flying and support operations. HF assets are intended for SouthwestAsia (Figure 1.1), but may be deployed to any theater if required. Assets may

    be deployed individually, or in one of four packaged UTCs.

    1.3.1. HF Housekeeping Set (XFBKA). The housekeeping set is a stand-alone personnel support package. It contains tents, hardwall shelters, genera-tors, basic electrical and water utilities, latrines and showers, environmentalcontrol units, area lighting systems, kitchen facility and other basic equipmentto provide billeting, administrative, command and laundry facilities to support

    an 1,100-person deployment.1.3.2. HF Industrial Operations Set (XFBRB). The industrial operations setcontains additional utility equipment and shop facilities for civil engineering(CE), services, transportation, supply and other base support and administra-tive functions.

    1.3.3. HF Initial Flightline Set (XFBS1). The initial flightline set supportsflying operations for the first aircraft squadron that arrives to the deployedlocation. It contains an emergency airfield lighting system (EALS), aircraftarresting systems, aircraft hangars, revetments, field latrines, shop facilitiesfor flightline operations and additional utility equipment.

    1.3.4. HF Follow-on Flightline Set (XFBS2). The follow-on flightline setsupports flying operations for an additional aircraft squadron. Each additionalaircraft squadron requires a follow-on flightline set. It contains additionalhardwall shelters and utility equipment to extend the capability of the initialflightline set to support additional aircraft.

    1.4. Harvest Eagle (HE). HE provides facilities for bare base living andworking, or for supporting additional personnel at an existing installation. Itdoes not, however, provide many flightline support assets. Harvest Eagle as-sets are intended for use in Europe or the Pacific, but may be deployed to anytheater if required. Assets may be deployed individually, or in one of three

    packaged UTCs.

    1.4.1. HE 550-person Housekeeping Set (XFBR3). The housekeeping set is astand-alone warm-weather personnel support package. It contains tents for

    billeting and base support activities, latrines and showers, a kitchen facilityand power and water distribution systems.

    1.4.2. HE 550-person Utilities Package (XFFLU). The utilities package con-tains high-voltage power generation and distribution equipment and environ-mental control units. When this package is added to the XFBR3 housekeepingset, the two HE UTCs together are approximately equivalent to one half of aHarvest Falcon XFBKA housekeeping set.

    1.4.3. HE 550-person Cold Weather Set (XFBCW). The cold weather setcontains tent heaters for use with the XFBR3 housekeeping set.

    1.5. BEAR Sets. Current Harvest assets are being reconfigured to producelighter, leaner BEAR sets. BEAR sets reflect lessons learned from recent ex-

    peditionary operations during which housekeeping and utilities packages de- ployed and required significant tailoring or exceeded the need at the bare base.When existing Harvest assets are excess to BEAR requirements, they are con-sidered optional (or playbook) assets. The core BEAR UTCs are similar inname to the Harvest sets.

    1.5.1. BEAR 150 Housekeeping Set, also known as Swift BEAR (XFB1A).This housekeeping set supports a maximum of 150 personnel for approxi-mately 5 days. It provides austere shelter (12 persons per tent, cots and envi-ronmental control), basic hygiene, low voltage electrical generation and distri-

    bution, and forklift support. The set weighs 44 tons and requires 17.5 pallet

    positions (one C-17) to airlift.1.5.2. BEAR 550 Initial Housekeeping Set (XFB1H). The BEAR 550I

    provides billeting, environmental control, hygiene and food service to support550 personnel. The set includes billeting (12 per tent), kitchen, refrigeration,shave/shower units, latrines, high and low voltage electrical generation, waterdistribution, CE maintenance equipment, chaplain, mortuary and supply stor-age. The set weighs 229 tons and requires 78 pallet positions (six C-17s) toairlift.

    1.5.3. BEAR 550 Follow-on Housekeeping Set (XFBBF). The 550F aug-ments the 550I and should be deployed after or in conjunction with it to sup-

    port an additional 550 personnel. It provides additional billeting, latrine, envi-

    ronmental control units (ECU), high and low voltage electrical generation anddistribution, water distribution and camp lighting. The set weighs 188 tonsand requires 61 pallet positions (five C-17s) to airlift.

    1.5.4. BEAR Industrial Operations Set (XFBRC). The BEAR IO is an in-frastructure set that provides small, medium and large shelters/facilities forsupply, CE, vehicle operations and maintenance, packing and crating, fitnessand tactical field exchange. This package supports up to 3,300 personnel andsix BEAR 550 Housekeeping sets. The set weighs 267 tons and requires 81.5

    pallet positions (seven C-17s) to airlift.

    1.5.5. BEAR Initial Flightline Set, XFBIF. The BEAR IF provides initialflightline support for one squadron of aircraft. It includes facilities for avion-ics shops, fuels lab, fire/crash rescue, aircraft hangars and general purposefunctions. It also provides additional generators, latrines and ECUs. Optionalitems include emergency airfield lighting systems (EALS) and mobile aircraftarresting systems (MAAS), which are further discussed in AFH 10-222, Vol-ume 7 and Volume 8, respectively. The set weighs 248 tons and requires 92

    pallet positions (seven C-17s) to airlift.

    1.5.6. BEAR Follow-on Flightline Set (XFBFF). The BEAR FF supple-ments the initial flightline set and supports an additional aircraft squadron. It

    provides an aircraft hanger and medium-sized shelters for power/non-poweredAGE and general purpose functions. The set weighs 39 tons and requires 13

    pallet positions (two C-17s) to airlift.

    1.5.7. BEAR Optional UTCs. Planners have greater tasking flexibility usingBEAR sets due to the availability of certain optional equipment items. Whilethese items provide significant capability, they may not be needed in the coresets each and every time. These items, shown in Table 1.1 , are referred to asplaybook option assets.

    1.6. Non-BEAR Assets. In addition to Harvest and BEAR sets, many otherexpeditionary equipment packages are required to support bare base opera-tions. Engineers must work with representatives from other functional areas

    SHELTERS

    2.1. General. All bare base structures require recurring preventive mainte-nance. Ensure panels, fabric, flashings, cables, connectors, clamps and an-chors are sound, secure and corrosion-free. Lubricate winches, hoists andhoist cables. Refer to applicable technical orders for specific details and re-member that set up times are affected by environmental conditions and ex-

    perience level of crews.

    2.2. Small Shelter System (SSS). An all-purpose tent, commonly referred toas the Alaska Small Shelter System ( Figure 2.1 ), is the designated replace-ment for the TEMPER tent, through attrition. It can be used for billeting,work areas, latrines/showers, storage, etc. When fully erected, the sheltermeasures 32.5 feet long, by 20 feet wide, by 10 feet high (650 sq ft), and mul-tiple shelters can be interconnected. The site should be flat and well-drained,with no more than 11 inches of slope across the floor area. Compared to theTEMPER, the SSS is lighter, more vector proof, easier to heat/cool and repair,and can withstand steady 50-knot winds and gusts up to 60 knots. Setup takes6 people about 2 hours.

    AFH 10-222 Volume 2 1 April 200615

    2.3. TEMPER Tent. The TEMPER tent is the most commonly used all- purpose shelter in the BEAR inventory; primarily used for troop billeting butalso serves as shop and administrative space ( Figure 2.2 ). It is constructed ofsynthetic fabric on an aluminum frame, with a rubberized floor mat. Modularsections are 8 ft long by 20 ft wide, and can be joined together end-to-end tocreate shelters of any length. A standard billeting tent consists of four sec-tions and is 32 ft long. A white fabric inner liner improves comfort and pro-vides HVAC ducts. An insulated floor is available for cold weather use.Lighting and electrical service equipment is included in the package. A 4-section tent requires one ECU for heating and cooling. During setup, stakeone side of the tent and then adjust the other side to ensure the span is no morethan 20 feet and 4 inches to prevent fabric seams and zippers from beingstretched too tightly. Setup is accomplished with six people in about 2 hours.Refer to AFH 10-222, Volume 6, Guide to Bare Base Facility Erection, fordetailed guidance on erection and disassembly.

    Figure 2.2. TEMPER Tent.

    2.4. Medium Shelter System (MSS). This is a medium sized all-purposeshelter selected to replace general purpose shelters and is used as a warehouse,maintenance area and kitchen. It is constructed of synthetic fabric over alu-minum arch sections, with rubberized floor mat. The MSS provides tighter

    protection from dust and insects and takes up less shipping space than GPshelters. Also known as the California Medium Shelter System, it can with-stand steady 60-knot winds and gusts up to 90 knots. The shelter measures 52feet long by 30 feet wide and 15 feet high. The erection site should be flat andwell-drained, with no more than 18 inches of slope across the floor area.Setup is accomplished with six people in about 4 hours.

    Figure 2.3. Medium Shelter System.

    2.5. Expandable Shelter Container (ESC). This is a small shelter used as aflightline maintenance shop, control center, office, etc ( Figure 2.4 ). It comes

    packaged as a self-contained unit, 8 feet long by 13 feet wide, and 8 feet high,and expands to 21 ft by 13 ft and 8 ft high, including a floor. Personnel andcargo doors are located in the center of the long sides. Complete 3-phaselighting and electrical service equipment is included as are leveling jacks. Thecontainer requires one ECU for heating and cooling. The small shelter systemis increasingly being used in place of the ESC. Six people can setup the shel-ter in about 2 hours. Refer to AFH 10-222, Volume 6, for detailed guidanceon erection and disassembly.

    2.6. General Purpose (GP) Shelter. The GP is a medium-sized shelter usedas a maintenance area, warehouse storage, etc ( Figure 2.5 ). It is constructedof rigid aluminum honeycomb panels attached to aluminum I-beams with vi-nyl flashings. The shelter measures 48 ft long, 31 ft wide, and 12 ft high whenset up. End panels have doors for personnel and cargo. There is no floor butcan be constructed directly on pavement, or floors can be built from wood orAM-2 matting. The erection site should be flat and well-drained, with nomore than 18 inches of slope across the floor area. Lighting and electricalservice equipment is included. Two ECUs are required for heating and cool-ing the shelter. Setup takes a minimum of 7 people and be accomplished in 15to 20 hours, depending on whether it is installed with a floor. The mediumshelter system is increasingly being used in place of the GP shelter. Refer toAFH 10-222, Volume 6, for detailed guidance on erection and disassembly.

    WATER DISTRIBUTIONAND

    SANITATION SYSTEMS

    3.1. General. Bare base locations typically start with 30 gallons per person per day planning factor and increases to about 50-gpd for longer durations orwhen a permanent water treatment plant is available. See AFPAM 10-219,Volume 5, Bare Base Conceptual Planning Guide, for additional water use

    planning factors.

    3.2. Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit. The Reverse Osmosis Wa-ter Purification Unit (ROWPU) removes suspended and dissolved solids fromnearly any water source. For planning purposes, one ROWPU can produce600 gallons per hour (gph) of potable water from seawater and can support600 people ( Figure 3.1 ). The unit requires up to 22-kW of power from anexternal source. It can produce potable water for 20 hours per day; the re-maining four hours for backwashing and maintenance. The ROWPU opera-tion produces up to two gallons of brine water for each gallon of potable wa-ter. Brine water disrupts the treatment process of wastewater from latrines,showers, laundries or kitchens, and consequently cannot be treated in the samesewage lagoons. Brine water should be used for grounding pads, constructionor dust control; piped into its own evaporation lagoon; or returned to a large

    body of water. For additional information on the ROWPU, see AFH 10-222,Volume 9, Guide to Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit Installation andOperation.

    3.3. Water Storage Bladders. Storage bladders are collapsible rubber blad-ders used to store raw or potable water ( Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.3 ). Bladdersare available in three common sizes: 20,000-gallon (23 ft x 27 ft), 10,000-gallon (21ft x 21 ft) and 3,000-gallon (onion bladders, approximately 7 ft indiameter). If soil is rocky or uneven, install bladders on a 2 inch bed of sand.For desert operations, provide shade to prevent excessive heat buildup.

    3.5. Harvest Falcon Water Distribution System. This is a water storageand distribution system for long-term use. It uses diesel and electricallydriven pumps ( Figures 3.5 and 3.6 ) and lightweight plastic piping to distributewater. Pipe sections are color-coded: green for raw water and white for pota-

    ble water. Flexible, quick-connect hoses are included for raw water lines, potable water branch lines and for initial stand-alone setup while plastic pip-ing is being assembled. Includes aircraft and vehicle wash racks, water stor-age bladders, and tank and fill stands. To minimize intersecting with roadsand walkways, design the potable water loop as an out-and-back loop in astraight line or L-shape along the service sides of water-using facilities, ratherthan as a complete circle around the camp. Set up plastic pipe on the groundfirst, then bury as time permits. Bury piping 18 inches deep to provide insula-tion and control expansion. Keep accurate maps of buried pipe. See Attach-ment 3 for the system component listing.

    3.6. Harvest Falcon Wastewater System. This is a two-tier system. Ini-tially, expedient latrines and HF latrines are used; and a wastewater disposaltrailer is used to empty HF latrines. For longer term deployments, install plas-tic sewer lines to stabilization and evaporation lagoons. It is primarily a grav-ity flow system; however, a few packaged lift stations are available.

    3.8. BEAR Field Latrine (XFBL9). This is a modular system where twolatrine units fit end-to-end inside a SSS and support 275 people. Each unit hassix toilets, a urinal trough and two hand-washing sinks ( Figure 3.8 ). Theunits internal water lines do not include backflow prevention, so water inhand-washing sinks should be considered non-potable even if the externalwater source is potable. The system can be connected to bare base water dis-tribution and wastewater removal piping; if not connected, its 360-gallonwaste storage tank must be cleaned daily. Even when connected to the wastesystem, pumping may still be required due to low liquid to solid waste ratios.Each unit has a 500-gallon water bladder and supply pump. Construct a con-crete floor for long-term deployments. Setup (not including shelter) can beaccomplished with 2 people in about 1 hour.

    3.11.1. Wastewater Disposal Trailer. The trailer is a 1,000-gallon mobilesewage tank and vacuum pump ( Figure 3.11 ) used for cleaning latrine hold-ing tanks until they can be connected to the bare base distribution system. Thetrailer requires a heavy truck with a pintle hook to tow it. Waste must be emp-tied into a lagoon, commercial sanitary sewer or uninhabited area downwindfrom the base and away from drinking water sources.

    Figure 3.11. Wastewater Disposal Trailer.

    3.11.2. Grease Traps. Grease trap assemblies are included with 9-1 kitchensto prevent grease from clogging treatment lagoons or attracting pests. If pre-manufactured units are not available, install a series of three or more steel

    drums in the drainage line between the kitchen and wastewater disposal sys-tem. Drain the kitchen into the first drum, drain the first drum into the second,and so on. Install the drain lines about 3 ft above the bottom of the drums butturn their inlet ends down to within 6 inches of the bottom, so that only waterat the bottom can enter the drain linetrapping the grease floating at the 3 ftlevel. Remove solidified grease daily and dispose of it with other solid waste.

    3.11.3 . Evaporation Beds. The beds are small graywater lagoons builtdownwind of showers, kitchens and laundries (do not use for latrines). Sepa-rate beds may be needed for each graywater source unless wastewater can betransported to a central lagoon. Construct seven adjacent beds, each 22 ftsquare and 1 ft deep. Use one bed each day of the week.

    3.11.4. Stabilization Lagoon. This is a large wastewater lagoon built down-wind from base; supplied by bare base piping from latrines, showers, kitchensand laundries. The lagoon allows natural decomposition and photosynthesisto stabilize wastewater before it is drained away from the base. A 127 sq ftlagoon can support 1,100 people for about 30 days; additional and/or largerlagoons are needed for larger populations.

    3.11.5. Evaporation Lagoon. A large wastewater lagoon built downwindfrom base if no off-base drainage is possible. It is fed by discharge from astabilization lagoon. A 164 sq ft lagoon can support 1,100 people for about 45days; additional and/or larger lagoons must be built as needed for longer de-

    ployments or larger populations (See Attachment 2 ).

    3.11.6. Sanitary Landfill. This is an Earth-covered disposal site for garbageand other solid waste, used when incineration or contracted disposal are notfeasible. Use a bulldozer to excavate trenches perpendicular to prevailingwinds and deep enough to contain the expected waste stream. Compact andcover the waste each day with 24 inches of earth. When full, cover the trenchwith a final 30-inch layer of earth and mark its boundaries.

    3.11.7. Packaged Waste Treatment Plants. BEAR sets currently contain nowaste treatment systems. A deployable waste management system is in de-velopment for possible fielding by FY07 to be used at locations where force

    protection concerns or site constraints make other approaches unacceptable.The system would use catalytic hydrothermal conversion (CHTC) to treat andreduce solid waste. It uses electro-coagulation for wastewater. As an addi-tional alternative, it may be feasible at some locations to program and install acommercially-available packaged waste treatment system.

    POWER

    4.1. Mobile Electric Power (MEP) Generators. Mobile generators, 30kWand 60 kW, power critical facilities before a primary power plant and distribu-tion system are constructed, and afterwards provide emergency backup or

    power for remote facilities. Individually or synchronized prime generators,750 kW and 920 kW, in a power plant provide high-voltage power to the Har-vest and BEAR electrical distribution systems. All can be configured to pro-duce either 50 or 60 Hz, but is de-rated to 80-85 percent of their nominal gen-erating capacity at 50 Hz. All MEP generators run on DF-1 or DF-2 dieselfuel, but can be configured to run on JP-8, JET A, or FP-5.

    4.1.1. MEP-005: 30 kW, 120/208V, 3-phase (being replaced by MEP-805)

    4.1.2. MEP-805: 30 kW, 120/208V, 3-phase, tactical quiet generator.

    4.1.3. MEP-006: 60 kW, 120/208V, 3-phase (being replaced by MEP-806)

    4.1.4. MEP-806: 60 kW, 120/208V, 3-phase, tactical quiet generator.

    4.1.5. MEP-012: 750 kW, 2400/4160V, 3-phase. Provide at least 5 ft clearspace (preferably more, up to 20 ft) between adjacent generators to allow ade-quate cooling airflow, and if possible align the long axis of the generator with

    prevailing winds. The unit requires separate fuel bladders, fuel manifold andassociated hoses and consumes 55 gallons of fuel per hour at full load. Acrew of six can set up a power plant with two to four generators in approxi-mately eight hours.

    4.1.6. MEP-PU-810A (major component of the Deployable Power Generationand Distribution System, or DPGDS ): 920 kW, 2400/4160V, 3-phase.

This is a high-voltage switchingstation that receives power from up to four MEP-012s, MEP-PU-810s or other2400/4160V 3-phase source, and distributes it through six 200-amp fused cir-cuits. If an individual phase of a given circuit develops a fault or overload andopens the fuse, the other two phases will remain energized. If the PDC is

    powered by only one MEP-012 or MEP-PU-810, use no more than 5 secon-dary distribution centers (SDCs) per circuit. With two or more generators,each circuit can typically support 6 to 10 SDCs, or 10 to 15 if air conditionersare not used. One or more output circuits can also be used to feed the inputterminals of another PDC. PDCs are being replaced by primary switchingcenters (PSCs) through attrition.

It receives2400/4160V 3-phase power from PDC, or another SDC, through one of threesets of primary terminal bushings. The other two sets can be used to feedhigh-voltage power back out to other SDCs on the same circuit, and/or topark a high-voltage feed from a different circuit so it can be rapidly con-nected if the need arises. After receiving the high-voltage power, the SDCsteps it down to 120/208V and distributes it over 16 60-amp secondary cir-cuits. The primary input and transformer can also be bypassed, so an SDCcan be fed from a low-voltage generator and used only as a distribution center.If air conditioners are used, use no more than 12 of the 16 output circuits.

    4.4.5. Primary Cable. The #1/0 5-kV insulated aluminum wire primary cableis used for high-voltage runs between generators, PDCs and SDCs. Use onecable for each of the three phases; it comes on a pallet with three 3000 ft cablereels mounted side by side. Limit primary runs to about 4000 ft if the load isconcentrated at the end of the circuit, or 1.5 miles if loads are spread fairlyevenly along the length of the run. Bury primary cable directly in the ground,12 inches to 18inches deep, with at least 6inches of horizontal spacing be-tween each cable. The base civil engineer may make an operational risk man-agement decision to leave some or all of the high voltage cable on the surface

    if soil conditions or time and equipment constraints prevent its immediate burial, but must take other measures to mitigate the risk of personnel injury ordamage to the cables. As a minimum, bury or otherwise protect cables cross-ing roads and high-traffic walkways.

    4.4.6. Secondary Cable. This is a 3-phase insulated cable, in pre-assembledlengths with cannon plug connectors at each end ( Figure 4.9 ). 200-amp ca-

    bles, 25 ft long, are used to connect portable generators with SDCs. 60-ampcables, either 50 ft or 100 ft long, connect SDCs and individual facility powerdistribution panels (PDPs). Secondary cable runs should be limited to 150 ftto conserve cable and minimize voltage drop, but runs of up to 800 ft are ac-ceptable when there is no practical alternative.

    5.2. Environmental Control Unit (ECU). ECUs are used in heating, cool-ing, and circulating air in tents and shelters for personnel and equipment.Three ECUs are in the inventory: the unit most familiar to HVAC person-nelthe A/E32C-39 (or Dash 39); the new Field Deployable ECU (FDECU)which is the replacement for the Dash 39; and the Small Shelter System ECUthat comes with the Alaska SSS. The units weigh between 700-900 poundsand have forklift slots in the base. The nominal cooling capacity is 4.5 tonsand heating capacity rated at about 10 kilowatts. The FDECU ( Figure 5.1 )

    provides a maximum of 84,000 BTUs of heat and 67,000 BTUs of cooling perhour and uses ozone friendly R-134A refrigerant. It can also be fitted with

    NBC filters. The SSS ECU is almost 200 pounds lighter than the others butuses R-22 refrigerant. Place units directly on the ground, adjacent (within 6ft) to the facilitys supply and return air duct openings. An aggressive preven-tive maintenance and repair program is critical for ECUs.

It is a 45,000 BTU, free standing heater thatoperates without use of electrical power and burns several types of liquid fuel(JP-5, JP-8, DF-2, D-F1). The unit is 24 inches high by 18 inches wide andweighs 65 pounds ( Figure 5.2 ). It comes with a rugged, silent thermo-electricfan (TEF) that sits on top of the H-45, converts heat from the top surface ofthe heater into electricity to power the fan and moves the heated air evenlythroughout the shelter. Remember that using the H-45 decreases the amountof personal billeting space in a typical TEMPER tent or SSS.

    Figure 5.2. H-45 Space Heater.

    5.4. Preway 70,000 BTU Heater. This is a radiant type heater operating ondiesel fuel only ( Figure 32 ). Fuel is stored and fed from a 5-gallon can hungon the side of the heater frame. It is designed for floor installation in general

    purpose or TEMPER tents with stovepipe sections running from the heaterthrough the roof of the shelter. The Preway should only be used in well-ventilated areas and rest on noncombustible, level floor material. There areseveral models available, but the most common model is 33 inches long by 41inches high and weighs about 205 pounds (without stovepipes).

    7.6. Revetments. Revetments are theater WRM assets used to protect parkedircraft or other high-value resources. Engineers should identify revetment

    requirements through their unit-level logistics function and the theater civilengineer staff. B-1 revetments are assembled from corrugated steel panelsinto sections 7 ft wide, 12 ft long, and 16 ft high ( Figure 7.6 ). A-1 revetmentsare essentially the same, but only 12 ft high and typically used for protectingcritical facilities or equipment items rather than aircraft. A single B-1 kit pro-vides enough panels for 21 of the 12 ft sections, for a total length of 252 ft.Sections can be joined end to end for straight revetments, or butted together atright angles for "U" shapes, "E" shapes, etc. One kit will protect one fighter in"U" shapes and flow-throughs. For clustered arrangements, three kits will

    rotect four fighters. Fill revetments with earth and cap to revent dust from

    a

    p p blowing out or water from accumulating. See Attachment 2 for typical lay-out diagrams, and AFPAM 10-219, Volume 2, for construction details.

    7.7. Force Provider. This is a US Army expeditionary infrastructure pack-age, normally used at theater reception points, intermediate staging bases,disaster relief operations or in other situations where relatively stable and ro-

    bust expeditionary infrastructure is appropriate. A single Force Provider setincludes all materiel necessary to provide quality food, billeting and hygieneservices for 550 personnel. TEMPER Tents, environment rol units, 60al cont

    kW tactical quiet generators, 20,000-gallon water bladders, 400-gallon water buffalo trailers, floodlights and wastewater disposal vacuum pump trailers arecompatible with Air Force BEAR equipment. However, Force Provider utilitydistribution systems and containerized shower, latrine and laundry units arenot directly compatible with BEAR utility systems, and may need locally-developed adapters or fittings. Force Provider sets are typically erected byQuartermaster companies. If required, water production (ROWPUs) and high-voltage power production (MEP-012s and MEP-PU-810s) are provided byspecialized units.
