 | By late 2009, the US Army published an assessment of base camp training in TRADOC PAM 525-5-5, declaring "that no comprehensive policy or doctrine associated with planning and design, construction, and deconstruction, nor operations and management" existed with respect to base camps. In light of the Army's stated desire to reacquire base camp competencies and revolutionary changes in the Army Learning Model, as outlined in TRADOC PAM 525-9-2, the Operations ... |

| Selection of a suitable Operational Site (Op Site) for the launch and recovery of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is critical to the success of any UAS mission. Op Site Selection is a tactical mission task in which a UAS unit prepares a plan for the intended site and equipment locations before emplacing the system. To identify potentially suitable locations and eliminate unsuitable areas, the Operational Site Selection process must first ... |

| Intermodal operations have been crucial to the success of recent TRANSCOM distribution actions across the globe. Understanding the most appropriate factors to consider in seaport and airfield transloading pairs is critical to efficient and effective use of the intermodal option. TRANSCOM utilizes an analytic heuristic process within an intermodal seaport and airfield suitability model to rank order capability ratings of transloading sites. This research identifies the most important criteria for ... |

 | Congress designated Yucca Mountain, NV, as the nation's sole candidate site for a permanent high-level nuclear waste repository in 1987, following years of controversy over the site-selection process. Over the strenuous objections of the State of Nevada, the Department of Energy (DOE) submitted a license application for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository in June 2008 to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). During the 2008 election campaign, now-President Obama lent support ... |

| The theory of strategic air bombardment states that airpower is best used offensively to penetrate an enemy's home territory and disrupt or destroy the economy and means of war production to force the enemy to surrender. Strategic bombing will succeed either because it has fatally compromised the ability to carry on hostilities or because bombing has broken the will of the people and/or leadership to continue the fight.

| Forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operations were developed to reduce the time between turns for helicopters while conducting missions. The FARP has proven to save time and increase the time-on-target for each aircraft sortie. This time-saving FARP configuration has been used by aviation units for many years. While in many cases the FARP setup is determined based on several factors, typically a thorough analysis is not completed to determine ... |
