Efficiency and Environmental (E2) Solutions for Small Forward Operating Bases

Abstract

Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems (PM FSS) has deployed the Army's entire fleet of Force Provider equipment almost exclusively to support Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) for U.S. Forces -- Afghanistan (USFOR-A). The logistical footprint and environmental impacts associated with operating these Force Provider systems in austere locations are significant. Both ARCENT and USFOR-A requested that PM FSS explore solution packages that could be rapidly fielded to Afghanistan to reduce the impacts on logistics and environmental risks. This talk will provide an overview of the efforts to date and the next steps to take to make improvements in the areas of Energy Efficient Structures, Power Generation, Water Management, and Solid Waste Management for Company and below camps equipped with Force Provider life support/base camp equipment suites. The market survey process, technical solutions under consideration, the base camp test bed, and fielding/supportability strategy options will be addressed in this session.
