Computer Aided Design Parameters for Forward Basing

Abstract

Forward bases are those military installations strategically located around the world equipped with the minimum facilities necessary to conduct war- fighting operations if necessary. Construction of theses facilities in remote offers many challenges to the architect, engineer, and builder. Beginning with site selection and ending with the completion of construction, a myriad of problems face the responsible group. Site surveys may be difficult to acquire because the site is inaccessible due to geographical remoteness, armed conflict, host nation tension, or simply because the proposal must remain classified information. Not being able to walk the site is a major obstacle for all concerned.
