CHAPTER 3
GENERAL BASING TERMS
Definitions:
3.1. Basing Categories. Basing falls into one of two categories: permanent or
contingency. Permanent basing is associated with long-term strategic force
stationing; while contingency basing is associated with short-term contingency
operations. Specific location and size of these bases are determined during the
course of the contingency operation.
3.2. Permanent Basing. The basing of forces is dictated by the guidance

published by the Secretary of Defense in the Integrated Global Presence and
Basing Strategy (IGPBS). Bases included in the IGPBS are those locations where
the U.S. is expected to have a long term presence or need to rapidly expand sites
at key locations within the AOR. Methods for executing Permanent Construction
Standard provided in Chapter 9. The following is a description of the types of
bases in the IGPBS:
3.2.1. Main Operating Bases (MOB). A permanent base with combat forces
and robust infrastructure intended to support training, security cooperation,
deployment, and employment operations. The base features established
command and control capability, enduring family support facilities, and is
situated on reliable, well-protected territory. The term “base” should be used
specifically in relation to a main operating base, not as a short-hand term for
other facilities such as forward operating sites and cooperative security locations.
3.2.2. Forward Operating Sites (FOS). A scalable location outside the U.S.
intended for rotational use by operational forces. Locations may contain pre-
positioned equipment and may have a modest permanent support presence.
Location is able to sustain security cooperation, training, deployment, and
employment operations on short notice. This information is typically provided on
the USCENTCOM J4 Website.
3.2.3. Cooperative Security Locations (CSL) A location outside the U.S.

intended for contingency access, logistical support, and rotational use by
operational forces. Location may contain pre-positioned equipment but
generally will not have permanent U.S. military personnel. Location has no family
support system and potentially austere infrastructure. Flexible legal international
agreements are in place to use location for security cooperation, training,
deployment, and employment operations. This information is typically provided
on the USCENTCOM J4 Website.
13
3.3 Contingency Basing. These are sites to support immediate contingency

operations that are temporary in nature. Chapter 5 of this regulation defines the
base camp construction standard to be used in conjunction with OPORDs and
FRAGOs. Specific location and size of these bases are determined during the
course of the contingency operation. The following is a description of the types of
contingency bases:
3.3.1. Contingency Operation Bases (COB). A contingency Base is usually

occupied by an element larger than Unit of Action (UA) size from a single service
or joint services. Its purpose is typically a command and control hub and/or
regional logistics hub; characterized by advanced infrastructure for facilities and
communications for the expected duration of the operation/exercise. A COB
may include an airfield C-130 capable or larger.
3.3.2. Contingency Operation Sites (COS). A contingency site is usually

occupied by a UA size element or smaller capable of providing local and
regional operations, security, and/or humanitarian assistance relief. The site size
and capabilities are scalable to support rotation of forces or prolonged
contingency operations. Characterized by limited infrastructure and may be
dependent on some contracted services.
3.3.3. Contingency Operation Locations (COL). A contingency location is

usually occupied by a battalion sized element capable of quick response to
operations, security, civic assistance or humanitarian assistance relief. A COL will
be dependent upon COS or CMB for logistical support characterized by stark
infrastructure primarily dependent on contracted services or field facilities. A COL
consolidates to a COS as the contingency matures.
3.4. Managing and Planning of Base Camps. CDR, USCENTCOM will designate by
OPORDs and/or FRAGOs, lead agencies for managing and planning base
camps. These designations are: LCLC, BOS-I and SAA. The “Base Matrix” is a term
to designate the matrix displaying location, base, LCLC, BOS-I, SAA and the
corresponding lead, CJTF or Component.
3.4.1. Lead Component for Joint Logistics and Contracting (LCLC). Lead
Component for Joint Logistics and Contracting (LCLC) – (replaces Executive
Agent (EA)) – a component assigned responsibility by USCENTCOM as the lead for
coordinating joint logistics and contracting within a designated country. The lead
component has primary responsibility for coordinating common item and
common service support or other administrative and support functions. Individual
OPLAN, CONPLANs or OPORDs published by USCENTCOM address specific
support responsibilities. The lead component ensures efforts are coordinated
through the theater security cooperation POC.
14
3.4.2. Base Operating Support Integrator (BOS-I). USCENTCOM will designate a

component or Joint Task Force (JTF) as the BOS-I at each operating location. The
BOS-I acts on behalf of all forces/Services on the camp. The BOS-I will coordinate
contracting support and the efficient use of mission support resources. Where
shortfalls or opportunities for efficiencies exist, USCENTCOM may task
components/JTFs to provide or coordinate specific capabilities (e.g. services,
infrastructure, security, and communications). The BOS-I will provide master
planning for facilities and real estate. BOS-I responsibilities include collecting and
prioritizing construction requirements and seeking funding support, environmental
management and hazardous waste disposal.
3.4.3. Airfield Operations Manager/Senior Airfield Authority (SAA). The

component responsible for the control, operation and maintenance of the airfield
to include the runways, associated taxiways, and parking ramps as well as land
and facilities whose proximity affects airfield operations. The SAA is responsible for
coordination of all component/JTF aircraft and airfield facilities (responsibilities will
not be split among Services). The SAA controls flight line access and is responsible
for the safe movement of aircraft in the airport traffic area and on all airfield
surfaces. The SAA will develop and coordinate airfield improvement master plans
with the BOS-I and submit them to the BOS-I for inclusion in the overall base
master plans. The SAA will also seek funding from their component for airfield
operations, maintenance and construction requirements.

CHAPTER 5
BASE CAMP
CONTINGENCY CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
5.1. Contingency Base Camps. For the USCENTCOM AOR, the CDR, USCENTCOM
will establish the standard of construction for base camps and airfields through
USCENTCOM OPORD and FRAGO. While the standards of paragraph 5.1 provide
timelines for planning purposes, it does not authorize an (automatic)
increase/advancement in standard based upon time on ground. These durations
are defined by Joint and Service doctrine and are intended to be used only as
planning guidance in advance of, or in the absence of direction from higher
headquarters. Contingency construction standards apply to locations where:
5.1.1. No camp infrastructure exists.
5.1.2. Existing support infrastructure does not meet surge requirements levied
by missions.
5.1.3. As an interim measure in support of building permanent infrastructure to

support FOSs and CSLs. (Figure 5.1, “Contingency Base Camp Standards” outlines
standards as per facility and type of construction).
5.2. Contingency Construction Standards for Base Camps. Contingency base

camp support construction is characterized as either being initial or temporary.
5.2.1. Initial. Initial standard includes expeditionary up to initial camp standards

as defined below.
5.2.1.1 Expeditionary. Facilities shall be designed and constructed on an

expedient basis, using unit organic and service provided equipment and systems,
and/or Host Nation resources to support mission. Focus will be on providing
support, facilities, and infrastructure systems necessary to receive, bed-down, and
support operations of deploying forces.
5.2.1.2. Initial. Facilities shall be designed and constructed on an expedient

basis and characterized as austere requiring minimal engineer effort. Initial
standard is intended for immediate operational use by units upon arrival for a
limited time. These initial facilities may require replacement by more substantial
and durable facilities during the course of operations. Such replacement however
requires CDR, USCENTCOM approval if doing so exceeds the initial standard.
5.2.2. Temporary. Contingency Construction Standard increases efficiency of

sustained operations. If approved by USCENTCOM, "Temporary" facilities can
21
replace "Initial" facilities. Facilities constructed to a temporary standard may be

used indefinitely.
5.2.3. Request for Construction Standard Waiver. Requests for waivers to

specific/individual contingency construction standards may be submitted to
USCENTCOM J-4 by letter or message. The following provide possible factors for
consideration of approval: Title X Service endorsement, support to operations, life
safety improvements, AT/FP, security situation, construction time, cost, cost-
benefit analysis, local material availability and quality, and local labor availability
and skill.
5.3. Application of Contingency Construction Standards for Typical Facilities and

AT/FP.
5.3.1. Contingency Base Standards. Contingency standards and guidelines

are provided in Figure 5.1, Contingency Base Camp Standards.
5.3.2. Anti-terrorism/Force Protection and Safety. The threat type, severity, and
desired level of protection are primary considerations when selecting force
protection and physical security measures (Appendix 2 to Annex V to
USCENTCOM OPORD 97-01B, “Anti-terrorism Construction Standards”). The OPORD
provides AT/FP Construction Standards, Facility Evaluation, Compliance
Certification and support guidance. An additional reference for planning is the
Unified Facility Criteria 4-010-01.
5.4 Contingency Construction Considerations.
5.4.1. Contingency construction, renovation, planning and design, shall

consider AT/FP, Environmental, Safety and Fire Protection standards. All
deviations from standards must be documented.
22
CHAPTER 6
BASE CAMP DEVELOPMENT

PROCESS
6.1. Development Process. The Base Camp Development Process has six (6) main
components: Real-estate Acquisition, AT/FP Analysis, Environmental Analysis,
Facility Standards Identification, Master Plan Preparation, Construction
Management and Base Closure. See also Appendix 2.1.
6.2. Real Estate Acquisition. Contingency real estate support will be provided
and identified through USCENTCOM issued OPORDs. Base camp development
shall not commence until real estate transactions have been finalized and
executed in accordance with applicable U.S. and host nation laws, unless
otherwise directed by USCENTCOM. HQ USCENTCOM Reg 405-1, Real Estate
Operations in the USCENTCOM AOR, provides guidance. Where a CJTF or BOS-I
has been designated at a specific location, the CJTF/BOS-I has the lead role for
coordinating real estate support.
6.3. AT/FP Analysis. AT/FP and physical security concerns are critical to the
development of contingency base and long term camps. Incorporating AT/FP
and physical security concerns into site selection and the development of the
base camp layout will ensure adequate protection of personnel and assets. The
key to effective development of base camp AT/FP and physical security
requirements is a partnership between AT/FP personnel and the site engineers. This
partnership helps to ensure the development of integrated physical security
protective measures and security procedures consistent with base camp design.
6.3.1. Essential to the base camp planning effort is the early identification of
the AT/FP and physical security requirements. Addressing AT/FP and physical
security concerns early helps to ensure that site location and layout is compatible
with security operations and mission accomplishment. Early development of AT/FP
and physical security requirements also helps to reduce both construction and
manpower costs. It is easier and more cost effective to establish security measures
during the planning process than to apply AT/FP and physical security
requirements, after the fact.
6.3.2. IAW DOD Instruction 2000.16(DOD Anti-terrorism Standards), DOD

2000.12H (DOD Anti-terrorism Handbook), USCENTCOM OPORD 97-01B (Anti-
terrorism), standards for construction of new facilities have been developed to
counter possible terrorist threats. These construction standards have specific
requirements for such measures as standoff distance, perimeter barriers, and
building construction. These minimum standards must be incorporated into the
construction of all facilities regardless of the identified threat.
23
6.4. Environmental Analysis. All base camps or facilities occupied, or expected to

be occupied, for more than 30 days require an Environmental Baseline Study
(EBS), to determine the existing environmental conditions/problems at the site.
The BOS-I for the base camp is responsible for conducting the EBS, forwarding it
through the Combatant Component to USCENTCOM J4E and the removal of all
HAZMAT/Waste. Prior to closure of a site, the Environmental Site Closure
Report(ESCR) will be conducted to determine the type and amount of
environmental cleanup/remediation needed upon closure of the camp, IAW
governing OPORD Annex L “Environmental Considerations” and DOD Instruction
4715.8 “Environmental Remediation for DOD Activities Overseas.” (Appendix 4.1,
Base Camp Environmental Considerations)
6.5. Facility Standards Identification. CDR, USCENTCOM establishes the base

camp standard for the Joint Operations Area (JOA) by an OPORD or FRAGO.
Chapter 5 of this regulation describes standards upon which components and
subordinate units develop Master Plans for mission, mission support, base and
community support facilities and required utilities. These standards are intended to
provide the CDR, USCENTCOM expectations to Component Commanders for
base camp living and operating conditions. For planning purposes steady state
population may be supported by Permanent Construction Standards. Surge
population shall be supported by Contingency Construction Standards.
6.6. Master Plan Preparation. Master planning provides an integrated strategy for
construction and maintenance of required facilities at the best possible cost. The
level of detail of the Base Camp Master Plan depends on the maturity of the
location, the speed at which the operational need for a base camp develops,
and the expected length of stay. Master plans for Expeditionary and/or Initial
Standard Camps may be simply a sketch of the camp, while master plans for
Temporary or Enduring Presence Camps will include fully engineered construction
plans based on complete surveys. Master plans will include land-use
development maps/graphic and supporting construction project lists.
6.6.1. The BOS-I is defined as the component tasked with the design,
construction, and operation of the base camp/airfield/port.
6.6.2. The BOS-I will establish a process to develop, approve, and implement
Base Camp Master Plans. For Joint Base Camps, this mechanism must include
representation from all respective Service Components.
6.6.3. Using the established process, BOS-I Commanders will develop Base
Camp Master Plans for all permanent bases (MOB/FOS/CSL) as well as
contingency bases (COB/COS/COL) or as otherwise directed through CENTCOM
OPORDS/FRAGOS.
24
6.6.4. CCJ4-E and Services experts can provide technical support and
guidance. Refer also to Appendix 2.1, USCENTCOM Base Camp Master Plan –
Planning Process.
6.7. Construction Management. The BOS-I will track the development of base
camp construction in accordance with the master plan priorities, and report
progress in accordance with USCENTCOM Regulation 525-1, Engineer Situation
Report Instructions.
6.8. Base Camp Closure. The Camp BOS-I is responsible for all aspects of the
closing of its base camps, to include the removal/remediation of all
HAZMAT/Waste. Base camp closure shall not commence until real estate
transactions have been finalized and executed in accordance with applicable
Service regulations, U.S., international and host nation laws and agreements.
Included in the closure of the camp is a post occupation survey. The post
occupation survey will be forwarded to CCJ4-E upon is completion and approval
by the Combatant Component. (Figure 6.1, Base Camp Closure Task List - Sample
Format)

CHAPTER 7
METHODS FOR EXECUTING CONTINGENCY

BASE CAMP CONSTRUCTION
7.1. Contingency Construction Policy. CCJ4-E will be the USCENTCOM Proponent

for the establishment and oversight of contingency construction within the
USCENTCOM AOR. In a contingency and exercise operations, CDR, USCENTCOM
will designate the construction standards in the OPLAN/OPORD or by FRAGO.
7.1.1. Engineering O&M-type functions will be performed IAW the policies of

the Base Camp BOS-I, CJTF, and within service limitations. O&M funds will be used
to the maximum extent possible. Construction requirements that exceed organic
capability and/or the new construction O&M ceiling will be prioritized and
submitted to the appropriate CJTF and service component with
contingency/wartime construction management authority. Engineer staffs should
advise their Commanders of the risk of contingency contracting. If a DOD
Construction Contract Agent (CCA) is not used for design and contracting (see
Chapter 2), only qualified personnel, with a strong preference to Professional
Engineers, should approve construction designs and manage construction.
7.1.2. Combat Engineering and Combat Support Engineering are the direct
responsibility of the Component Commander. Component engineer assets
assigned to those missions normally will not be available for theater-level military
construction. However, CCJ4-E may direct reallocation of engineer forces and
materials between components to ensure CDR, USCENTCOM priorities are met.
7.1.3. Civil engineer support planning and execution will be based on one of
the three contingency durations; Expeditionary, Initial or Temporary (as defined in
chapter 4). Location and tactical conditions may dictate modification of the
construction standard designated in the OPLAN/OPORD, as provided by the
waiver process.
7.1.4. Construction standards will be austere in contingency or wartime

situations so as to limit the demands on available infrastructure and resources.
Maximum use will be made of existing facilities, including those of the host nation.
Prefabricated or moveable structures will be used to the maximum extent
possible.
7.1.5. Construction Standard Waiver requests for specific/individual

contingency construction standards will be submitted to USCENTCOM J-4 (ATTN:
CCJ4-E) by letter or message. The following provide possible factors for
consideration of approval: Title X Service endorsement, support to operations, life
safety improvements, AT/FP, security situation, construction time, cost, cost-
27
benefit analysis, local material availability and quality, and local labor availability
and skill.
7.1.6. Requests for DoD military construction contingency funds shall be
submitted to Service components and USCENTCOM. USCENTOM will prepare a
Contingency Construction Priority List(CCPL) for submittal to the JCS.
7.2. Priorities Beyond Capabilities. Priority for fulfilling facility requirements will be:
U.S. owned, occupied or leased facilities; Host Nation Government Support,
Facility Leasing, pre-positioned facilities in theater, Contract Construction and
Troop Engineer Construction.
7.2.1. Priorities for contingency construction/ leasing will be governed by the

relative criticality of the support to the success of the USCENTCOM and/or
Combatant Component OPLAN.
7.2.1.1. Priority One - Tasks will be those projects vital to the mission, which if
omitted would inflict high costs in loss of life and potential early defeat of friendly
forces. For example, these projects may include the repair of damage to critical
operational facilities (e.g. tactical airfields, ports and harbors and Air Terminal
Operations Center [ATOC]); repair or construction of facilities which increase the
mobility of friendly forces (e.g., repair to bridges or main supply routes [MSR]
pipelines and leasing or minimum construction of essential facilities for bed down
of combat operations forces); and construction of facilities that increase
survivability of friendly forces.
7.2.1.2. Priority Two - Tasks will be those critical to the mission, which, if
omitted, would seriously degrade combat effectiveness, increase vulnerability on
the battlefield, increase probability of tactical defeat and degrade sustainability.
These projects include; but not limited to, construction of secondary defensive
positions, construction or repair of medical facilities, minimal restoration of MSRs
and tactical airfields, construction of enemy prisoner of war camps, Ammo Supply
Points (ASPs), ATOCs and application of dust palliative.
7.2.1.3. Priority Three - Tasks will be those projects essential to the mission
which, if omitted, would degrade quality of combat service support, degrade
long term sustainability, produce equipment/material losses, and have minor
impact on campaign planning. These projects would include work such as follow-
on restoration of base facilities, lines of communication and MSRs, sun shades,
environmentally controlled facilities for protection of materials, transition to host
nation utility networks, and leasing or new construction of initial standard base
facilities.
28
CHAPTER 8
FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
8.1. Policy. This policy is for prudent fiscal management of limited capital
improvement funds applied to current mission MILCON, family housing new
construction and post-acquisition improvements, major maintenance and repair
projects, and non-appropriated fund projects. Proven commercial solutions
should be used, where possible, to achieve, maintain, and monitor facility
maintenance.
8.2. Responsibilities.
8.2.1. USCENTCOM. CCJ4-E will monitor O&M projects greater than $500,000
or as requested by the JCS or OSD.
8.2.2. Service components/CJTFs.
8.2.2.1. Establish effective operations and maintenance programs to

maximize the life expectancy of permanent and temporary facilities at minimum
cost to the government. Effective operations include developing, planning,
prioritizing and programming maintenance programs and projects.
8.2.2.2. Follow service regulations for the operations and maintenance of

facilities.
8.2.2.3. Components/CJTFs may hire civilian contractors to manage and

operate the base support mission if the operational and security situation permits.
8.2.2.4. Annually, or additionally at the request of the CCJ4-E, report O&M

projects greater than $500,000.
8.2.2.5. Consider facility operations and maintenance necessary for

compliance with environmental regulations.
8.2.2.6. Maintenance for locations scheduled for closure, to the maximum

extent possible, shall be limited to emergency or break-down repairs.
29
8.2.2.7. Maintain the quality of facilities and services to meet current

construction criteria for space and environmental adequacy. Maintain
infrastructure reliability and operational efficiency prevent system/facility failures
resulting from lack of maintenance, maintain current level of customer service
and responsiveness, and prevent degradation of base appearance. Invest in
capital maintenance, repair, and minor construction only for minimum essential,
high priority and self-amortizing requirements to support the forces and their
families.
30
CHAPTER 9
METHODS FOR EXECUTING PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION
9.1. Permanent Construction Policy. The Contingency Construction Standards as

set forth in Chapter 4 of this regulation are not intended for Permanent
Construction in the USCENTCOM AOR.
9.1.1. Military construction requirements will be programmed through the DOD

Military Construction (MILCON) Program using Service procedures. USCENTCOM,
through their Integrated Priority List (IPL) and basing plans, will develop a
prioritized listing of facility requirements, from a theater perspective to provide
direction for service programming and resourcing.
9.1.2. Execution of authorized MILCON programs will be IAW Service

regulations and any applicable nation to nation agreements.
9.1.3. Construction standards, unless otherwise directed by USCENTCOM, will

be prescribed by DOD, Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and Service Department
policies. Construction standards of the host nation may apply for MILCON if
specified in host nation agreements.
9.1.4. Real estate actions and environmental management will be

programmed and executed by the Services using Service procedures. HQ
USCENTCOM Reg. 200-1, Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality,
28 JUL 1997 and HQ USCENTCOM Reg 405-1, Real Estate Operations in the
USCENTCOM AOR, will provide guidance.
9.1.5. USCENTCOM Force Protection Construction Standards apply to all

locations controlled or used by U.S. Forces in the USCENTCOM AOR. All service
components will annually conduct a systematic assessment of all their facilities by
base/site and country in the AOR. They must either comply with standards, submit
a plan to bring the facility into compliance, or submit a request for waiver to
USCENTCOM, Joint Security Directorate.
9.1.5.1. Anti-terrorism/Force Protection and Safety. The threat type, severity,

and desired level of protection are primary considerations when selecting force
protection and physical security measures (Appendix 2 to Annex V to CENTCOM
OPORD 97-01B, “Anti-terrorism Construction Standards”). These considerations will
be used to identify vulnerabilities, reduction measures, and the location of
facilities. In the expeditionary environment, important security planning factors
include: availability of existing facilities, types of structures, existing natural or man-
made features, types and quantity of indigenous construction materials, available
real estate and other base infrastructure. Pre-existing buildings will be renovated
31
to meet DOD and USCENTCOM force protection and security standards. These
standards will provide guidance to design strategies for mitigating the effects of
specific aggressor tactics, defined levels of protection, and effects on building
costs when applying those measures.
9.1.5.2. AT/FP and physical security concerns are critical to the

development of contingency base and long term camps. Incorporating AT/FP
and physical security concerns into site selection and the development of the
base camp layout will ensure adequate protection of personnel and assets. The
key to effective development of base camp AT/FP and physical security
requirements is a partnership between AT/FP personnel and the site engineers.
This partnership helps to ensure the development of integrated physical security
protective measures and security procedures consistent with base camp design.
9.1.5.2.1. Essential to the base camp planning effort is the early

identification of the AT/FP and physical security requirements. Addressing AT/FP
and physical security concerns early helps to ensure that site location and layout
is compatible with security operations and mission accomplishment. Early
development of AT/FP and physical security requirements also helps to reduce
both construction and manpower costs. It is easier and more cost effective to
establish security measures during the planning process than to apply AT/FP and
physical security requirements, after the fact.
9.1.5.2.2. IAW DOD Instruction 2000.16, DOD Anti-terrorism Standards),

DOD 2000.12H (DOD Anti-terrorism Handbook, USCINCCENT OPORD 97-01B (Anti-
terrorism), standards for construction of new facilities have been developed to
counter possible terrorist threats. These construction standards have specific
requirements for such measures as standoff distance, perimeter barriers, and
building construction. These minimum standards must be incorporated into the
construction of all facilities regardless of the identified threat.
9.1.6. Construction activities will follow all applicable environmental laws and
regulations according to DOD Directive 6050.7, as well as the Overseas
Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) or applicable Final
Governing Standards (FGS).
9.1.7. MILCON planning should be planned for locations not scheduled for
closure. Consider revitalization by replacing worn out facilities and systems, and
modernizing existing facilities with a limited investment in satisfying existing space
deficiencies. Evaluate feasibility of lease/build-to-lease facilities to satisfy
requirements instead of new construction.
9.1.8. DoD agencies in the USCENTCOM AOR will use the services of the
contract construction agents to accomplish military construction projects IAW
32
DoD policy as well as federal and international law. Minor construction and O&M
funded repair work are normally accomplished by the component commander
having jurisdiction. However, use of the designated CCA is encouraged when
the projects are exceptionally large and/or complex.
9.2. Procedures and Responsibilities.
9.2.1. USCENTCOM Responsibilities.
9.2.1.1. Establishing theater construction and construction management

policy in the USCENTCOM AOR.
9.2.1.2. Prioritize and validate Component MILCON requirements and

programs in the AOR.
9.1.1.3. Managing the overall development and maintenance of the Civil

Engineering Support Plan (CESP) for each OPLAN and when appropriate, each
CONPLAN.
9.2.1.4. Coordinating with service Components to develop a list of

construction requirements for the MILCON program. The list representing
USCENTCOM requirements will be used for making recommendations to
JCS/Office of Secretary of Defense (JCS/OSD) during the Defense
Guidance/Program Objective Memorandum cycles.
9.2.1.5. Providing input to applicable host nation agreements containing

provisions that govern construction, use of facilities, and the rights and
responsibilities.
9.2.1.6. Submitting construction projects for the USCENTCOM Integrated

Priority List (IPL) submission.
9.2.2. Service Component Responsibilities.
9.2.2.1. Plan, program and manage funding to support construction IAW

service regulations.
9.2.2.2. Process MILCON requirements through normal Service Department

channels. Copies of the DD Form 1391 will be provided to USCENTCOM J4 for
CDR, USCENTCOM validation IAW mission priorities, at the same time as they are
submitted to the Service Departments for programming. Consolidate and priority
requests, if applicable, through JTFs.

APPENDIX 2.1
BASE CAMP MASTER PLAN – SAMPLE PLAN AND CJTF PROCESS.
1. Purpose. This standard describes the base camp master planning process. Master
planning coordinates and prioritizes competing real property interests and distributes
limited resources in a way that best supports the CJTF mission. This plan provides
sample command guidance, describes master planning components, establishes
Base Camp Planning Boards (BCPB), and provides guidance on how to conduct the
planning board. In addition, this standard integrates the Joint Facilities Utilization
Board (JFUB) to coordinate and integrate decisions with base camp master planning.
2. Definition. A Base Camp Master Plan (BCMP) supports the assigned mission with
efficient management and orderly development of real property assets such as land,
permanent and temporary facilities, and infrastructure.
3. General Overview. The BCMP enhances force protection, improves operational

readiness and personnel safety conditions, provides efficient use of limited resources,
and improves living conditions and quality of life.
a. An organized base layout is a crucial part of a master plan. Poor site layout may
degrade physical health, reduce coordination and cooperation among units, erode
morale, and increase operational costs.
b. During a contingency, the BCPB provides the forum for the base leadership to
make comprehensive, balanced decisions for the future growth of base facilities and
infrastructure then executes those plans. The BCPB reviews and refines the plans
based on mission changes with the goal of improving mission support and providing a
quality living and working environment.

41
6. Sample Base Camp Master Plan Development Procedures
a. The BCMP process leads to the development of the BCMP. The process provides
the effective and orderly management of CJTF base camps. Within the process, the
master planner analyzes and integrates operational and developmental plans of
engineer functional areas, other base camp staff elements, assigned units, tenant
activities, higher headquarters, and surrounding communities. The BCMP is the
principal real property management tool in support of overall base camp operation,
management, and development.
b. Numerous components encompass the base camp master planning process:
(1) Identify the assigned units, tenant activities, and support organizations, their
missions and needs.
(2) Apply facility and force protection requirements criteria to the assigned
force structure to determine facility, force protection, and other real property
allowances.
(3) Identify real property assets.
(4) Determine real property deficiencies, excesses, and utility needs (for
example, utilities, training areas, etc.).
(5) Define and evaluate alternatives to satisfy deficiencies, eliminate excesses,

and satisfy utility needs.
(6) Consider developmental constraints including environmental, airfield, safety,

and explosive clearance considerations.
(7) Identify preferred solutions to satisfy real property requirements.
(8) Develop programming actions for prioritization and approval.
(9) Involve the customer throughout the entire process.
c. Following the BCMP process creates an efficient military base employing proven
measures that enables and facilitates CJTF mission accomplishment by:
(1) Providing timely and accurate planning information and real property
support for base camp missions.
(2) Developing cooperative and interactive inter-service relationships.
42
(3) Identifying, protecting, and enhancing natural, cultural, and environmental

resources; identifying environmental consequences of actions and environmental
compliance issues; and providing good stewardship of the environment.
(4) Establishing a framework for programming real property improvements.
(5) Maintaining an accurate audit trail of base development decisions.
(6) Ensuring informed decision-making.
(7) Ensuring efficient land use and supporting maximizing facility utilization.
(8) Maximizing base camp return on investment.
(9) Ensuring effective management and disposal of excess real property.
7. Base Camp Master Plan Components.
a. The BCMP consists of three inter-related components.
(1) The Constraints and Opportunities Component (CAOC) identifies the current
situation outlining the base camp’s limits for growth plus potential areas for
development.
(2) The Short-Range Component (SRC) identifies specifics projects required to

implement the LRDC.
b. Constraints and Opportunities Component (CAOC). The CAOC is an assessment

of the base camp’s current situation with analysis to achieve the desired end state of
development. It illustrates infrastructure, transportation, zoning, safety, and other
common systems required to support base development. The CAOC establishes the
basic framework and specific options for developing and managing the base camp
while documenting base camp capabilities, constraints, and opportunities. It specifies
optimum land use for enhanced mission accomplishment and quality community
support. It also identifies expansion capabilities based on current or known future
missions. The CAOC provides the basic building blocks upon which all other BCMP
components are based.
(1) The elements of the CAOC are:
(a) Development analysis (narrative). Analyzes the base camp’s missions,

goals, and objectives with recommendations for development. It includes the base
camp’s ability to support expansion or reduction in missions and identifies the
capabilities, constraints, and environmental limitations of the land, utility sources,
infrastructure, and facilities.
43
(b) Environmental quality and land use analysis (narrative and map). Serves
as a description of the baseline environmental conditions at the base camp and its
ability to support assigned missions. It analyzes overall base camp development and
identifies the areas deserving environmental concern. It describes gaps in baseline
environmental information and recommends necessary surveys and studies required
to complete the description of the base camp. It recommends developmental
opportunities that mitigate environmental damage. It serves as the framework for all
future formal environmental analyses. The plan will portray constraints to base camp
development with proper zoning taken into consideration. It will be a composite map
of environmental data that include at a minimum:
(c) Safety zones to include explosive and airfield criteria.
(d) Surface/aerial limiting factors, for example, noise and flood plains.
(e) Natural/cultural resource related, for example, soils, critical habitat, and
archeological sites.
(f) Underground hazards/limiters, for example, ground water issues.
(g) Surface hazardous and toxic materials/waste issues.
(h) Real estate acquisition and disposal actions.
(i) Mine/Unexploded Ordinance (UXO) hazard areas.
c. Utilities assessment/plan (narrative and map). Describes sources; rights to access

or use; quantity and quality available; known limitations; and the distribution system
architecture, age, and condition. It describes gaps in utility systems information and
recommends necessary surveys and studies required to complete utility analysis. It
provides a layout of all primary utility distribution lines.
d. Transportation assessment/plan (narrative and map). Depicts the current base

camp transportation network and analyzes interaction with base camp missions and
surrounding transportation access.
e. Force Protection assessment/plan (narrative and map). The force protection

plan is a component of the base camp master plan’s CAOC. Force protection is
integral to mission accomplishment and must be incorporated into all long range
plans. Analysis should assess the current situation with development of information
required to produce a holistic plan for secure mission environment. Local force
protection mitigation procedures and approval processes should be developed to
mitigate vulnerabilities created by temporary construction, i.e., fence replacement or
guard shack reconstruction.
44
f. Fire Protection assessment/plan (narrative and map). Since the majority of

facilities developed within the CJTF joint operational area will be built to initial or
temporary construction standards, the risk posed by fire hazards is high. Therefore, as
a mitigation measure, all base camps will assess fire protection measures into their
CAOC in order to address hazards and identify real property zoning actions.
g. CAOC Development and Review. Bases will complete their CAOC as directed
in CENTCOM OPORDS. Base commanders will schedule quarterly meetings of the
BCPB to review the CAOC.
h. Long Range Development Component (LRDC). The LRDC is the base camp
commander’s strategy to focus real property capitalization in support of base camp
missions. It summarizes the status of real property support for base camp missions,
including tenant missions, and links the real property deficiencies described in the
CAOC to the projects listed in the SRC.
i. The LRDC describes supporting plans for facility and infrastructure revitalization
and shortfalls. The LRDC describes the commander’s plan to convert facilities or
reassign activities to improve utilization or leasing. It also relates how excess facilities
will be managed and disposed. The SRC will provide interim solutions on how essential
real property requirements will be satisfied until the LRDC is fully implemented. From this
analytical approach, a base camp real property investment strategy emerges,
providing the basis for programming projects in the SRC.
j. Executive summary. Relate preferred alternatives for critical real property

requirements to base camp mission accomplishment and the commander’s vision,
planning goals, and objectives. It summarizes the requirements analysis and forms the
commander’s investment strategy. The analysis of critical real property requirements
briefly identifies the current situation (quantity, type construction, allowance criteria,
and physical/functional condition) and deficiencies (quantity and adequacy based
on theater, Component and CJTF standards). It reflects USCENTCOM and CJTF
resource constraints, but it is not time constrained.
k. Supporting Plans. Supporting plans provide specific detail on the sub-

components of the LRDC. Supporting plans are composed of a narrative with a map
overlay depicting the end-state of the specific plan. Plans are the result of the
processes as outlined in paragraph 4(b) and the CAOC.
(1) Environmental Plan.
(2) Utilities Plan.
(3) Transportation Plan.
45
(4) Force Protection Plan.
(5) Fire Protection Plan.
(6) Facility Improvement Plan.
(7) Land Use Plan.
(8) Supporting graphics. LRDC plans must be depicted as a CADD overlay.
l. LRDC Development and Review. Bases will complete their LRDC within 90 days of
receipt of this guide. Base commanders will integrate the LRDC review into the
quarterly meetings of the BCPB.
m. Short-Range Component (SRC). The SRC implements the LRDC by identifying

specific projects required to make the LRDC a reality. It reflects the base camp
commander’s plans to allocate resources to facility construction and revitalization.
(1) The SRC is a dynamic document requiring input from all of the base camp’s
units to reflect short-term real property planning and management. Addressing the
management of the SRC is a portion of the Base Camp Planning Board’s (BCPB)
meeting agenda (see Section 10 – Base Camp Planning Board). The SRC identifies
and justifies specific real property projects developed from the LRDC. It integrates all
projects, regardless of proponent or fund source to properly prioritize work effort.
(2) The elements of the SRC are:
(3) Overview. For each LRDC component plans, list the specific construction
projects required to implement the respective plan.
(4) Project Programming and Construction Tracking (PPCT) Worksheet. O&M

contract and troop labor projects shall be included and tracked.
(5) Supporting graphics.
(6) Base camp map(s) submitted monthly showing location of projects currently
under construction.
(7) Site specific maps with enhanced details including utilities for large-scale
projects.
(8) SRC Development and Review. Bases will complete their SRC as directed by
CENTCOM OPORDS.

APPENDIX 4.1
BASE CAMP ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS.
1. Purpose. Upon deployment to the CENTCOM AOR, all forces will actively prevent
pollution, display environmental stewardship, respect the natural resources of the host
nation, report and respond to hazardous chemical and POL spills, remedy
environmental conditions that directly endanger the health and safety of U.S. and
coalition forces, and comply with the spirit as well as the letter of applicable U.S. and
host nation environmental regulations as modified by International Agreements and
Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), Final Governing Standards specific to the host
nation or the DOD Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document.
2. Removal of Hazardous Waste.
a. USCENTCOM forces are responsible for safe collection, management, storage,

removal and disposal of hazardous wastes and POL in their possession. Dumping or
abandonment of hazardous waste or POL is prohibited. Hazardous waste includes
contaminated soil.
b. Units will take hazardous waste to accumulation points. Disposal of hazardous

waste via contract will be a component responsibility.
3. Environmental Documentation for Base Operations.
a. All USCENTCOM Components are responsible for documenting all environmental

matters for all sites/FOS/CSL/base camps. The BOS-Is will follow the guidance as set
forth in references found in paragraphs 3.4 and 4.4 of the main body of this regulation.
b. All instances of hazardous substance spills should be reported. All efforts to

clean up the spill should be documented.
c. Upon announcement of base closure, BOS-Is will ensure that base commanders
will consolidate data on all spills and cases of contamination for inclusion in the
Environmental Site Closure Report to the component. If a BOS-I has not been
designated, the lead Component will prepare the closure report.
4. Environmental Reports. BOS-Is (or Components if BOS-I are not designated) are
required to submit the following environmental reports during the life cycle of a
site/FOS/CSL/base camp.
a. The Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) is prepared if a site is occupied, or

expected to be occupied, for 30 or more calendar days by USCENTCOM forces. It
describes and documents the environmental condition of the site at the time it was
first occupied. Together with the Environmental Closure Report, the EBS forms the basis
57
of information (for investigating and negotiating claims against the USCENTCOM

Forces. The survey is to be coordinated by the MSC Environmental Management
Officer, senior engineer, or the commander’s designated representative. Copies of
the EBS are to be forwarded to USCENTCOM J4-E (Environmental) and a copy kept on
file at the FOB mayor’s cell. Information collected during completion of the EBS will be
referenced in the Environmental Closure Report, Environmental Condition Report, and
Environmental Closure Survey. Refer to Figure 4.1, Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS)
– Sample Format, for the USCENTCOM Format for the EBS.
b. The Environmental Condition Report (ECR) will be submitted no later than 30

days before closure. The report is a summary of environmental conditions at the
camp. The report uses the format shown at the back of this appendix. The report is
usually prepared by contract because testing and analysis are necessary to
document soil and ground water conditions that could have been affected by
presence of COALITION Forces. The Environmental Condition Report is a reference
document for the Environmental Site Closure Survey. Refer to Figure 4.2, Environmental
Conditions Report, for the USCENTCOM Format for the ECR.
c. The Environmental Site Closure Survey (ESCS) conducted by the BOS-I

environmental representatives at closure site. Information used to build the
Environmental Site Closure Report (ESCR). Refer to Figure 4.3, Environmental Site
Closure Report – Sample Format, for the USCENTCOM Format for the ESCS.
d. The (ESCR) is issued on the day the base is closed. It describes the condition of
the camp upon withdrawal of COALITION Forces. The report incorporates information
provided by the Environmental Baseline Survey and documents all site restoration and
remediation work performed at the camp. The ECR, taken with the EBS, forms the
basis of information for investigating and negotiating claims against the Government.
Refer to Figure 4.4, Environmental Site Closure – Sample Format.

BASE CLOSURE TASK LIST - SAMPLE FORMAT
1. Purpose of Appendix. All BOS-I's have both legal and operations requirements that
need to be met before closure and turnover a basing location (Base Camps) to the
host nation or private property owner. The process involves the disposition of
structures, materials, contracts, and the transfer of real and seized property to the host
nation government/civilian, as well as provision for security or assistance in reuse
planning. In addition the intent is to facilitate the timely termination of reduction of all
contract services in conjunction with the base closure. The Appendix will apply to all
basing locations within the USCENTCOM AOR.
2. Real Property.
a. Policy. Transfer all occupied Host Nation Governmental Property in the Base
Camp designated for closure to the responsible host nation agency. For all privately
owned real property being used under a lease or similar agreement, the property will
be returned to the private property owner. This policy applies to all U.S. and coalition
forces, unless the respective national laws or regulations direct otherwise.
b. Definition of Real Property. Real Property is defined as land and permanent

improvements on the land. All non-relocatable buildings, facilities or structures that
house personnel, vehicles, supplies or equipment will be transferred.
c. Prior to transfer of real property, as a minimum the following tasks will be

completed by the BOS-I currently occupying the Base Camp.
(1) Terminate all existing BOS-I or service funded facility renovation contracts,
excluding projects using funding specifically made available for the host nation
benefit.
(2) Ensure all facilities are clear and secure of all classified material and sensitive
COMSEC equipment.
(3) All facilities will be clear of trash and debris, and such material will be
properly disposed of.
(4) All facilities will be returned to host nation in good repair, and all
window/doors will be in place and functional.
(5) All facilities/areas will be clear of trash, debris, and Class IV material.
(6) All bunkers, trenches, fighting positions, and force protection barriers,
installed or constructed by USCENTCOM Forces will be removed, filled, and leveled to
match the surrounding area. Prior agreements between the BOS-I and the host nation
may allow specified defensive structures to remain.
98
3. Property Installed After Occupation. All installed building equipment purchased or

installed by components while occupying the Base Camp will remain in place and not
be removed by USCENTCOM Forces, unless otherwise required by the host nation or
regulations of a BOS-I/service that funded their installation. Installed equipment
includes all equipment and furnishings that make the facility usable and are attached
as a permanent part of the structure (e.g. toilets, sinks, plumbing, electrical wiring,
HVAC systems, windows, doors, light fixtures).
4. Personal Property. All personal property will be removed from

FOS/CSL/MOB/Contingency locations. Personal property includes government
property (those items owned by services and components) and items owned by
individuals. Examples include relocatable buildings window air conditioning units,
generators, desks, chairs, computers, office supplies, cots, foot lockers, clothing, and
food. Host nation personal property should not be removed unless it has been
affirmatively seized by order of the component commander.
5. Seized Property. All host nation private or public seized property of value (non-real
property) in the possession of USCENTCOM forces must be returned to designated
service component agency for disposal in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. Such property includes, but is not limited to, items such as jewelry,
vehicles, weapons, antiques, hand made carpets, high value electronics, precious
metals or anything determined to hold a significant monetary value or cultural
significance to the host nation.
6. Environmental Closure Report. All BOS-I's will complete an Environmental Closure

Report (see Figure 4.4) on all closed sites (FOS/CSL/Contingency locations). BOS-I will
forward the report to USCENTCOM J4-E. Recommend that BOS-I begin environmental
closure reports NLT 30 days prior to the closure of the location, to allow for sufficient
time to take corrective actions if required. BOS-I can not formally close a site until the
environmental closure report has been submitted to USCENTCOM.
7. Contracted Base Camp Services.
a. BOS-I's will identify all contracts and services that require termination at closure.
No services shall continue to be provided to closed Base Camps if funded with U.S.
Funds, unless the BOS-I has made prior coordination with serving G8/C8.
b. BOS-I will ensure all contracts and services to be terminated will be paid in full at
the time of closure.
c. LOGCAP/AFCAP. BOS-I must identify the Base Camp closure/termination date

120 days in advance for all services to be discontinued.
8. Force Protection Upon Closure. BOS-I is not responsible for providing force
protection for a closed Base Camp, unless otherwise directed by CDR, USCENTCOM.
99
9. Public Affairs. BOS-I is responsible for information operations and public affairs
activities with FOB/Base Camp Closure.
10. Base Closure Checklists. BOS-I responsible for developing their own base closure
checklists, with copy furnished to USCENTCOM J4-E.
