Water Support During War
Abstract
Wartime water needs for all geographic locations were analyzed with emphasis placed on living within the JCS planning factors. We found that present planning factors are well documented and supported, but not contained in Air Force publications. We also developed some logistics only planning factors not previously considered. Our review encompassed fixed plant and mobile water purification systems. In reviewing waterless decontamination procedures, we discovered a commercially developed dry cleaning system which offers great promise for decontaminating without water. The report offers four recommendations: (1) include newly developed 'logistics only' water needs in the JCS planning factors, (2) include JCS planning factors in Air Force WMP 1, (3) continue to investigate a Freon-based decontamination unit, (4) ensure a newly developed NBC detection kit enters the Air Force without delay.
