Using Geography and Geographic Information Systems to Create and Operate Self Sustaining Forward Operating Bases

Abstract

Sustainable Expeditionary Site Selection Requirements: Mission Data Set, Solar Density, Wind Density, Biomass Resources, Geothermal Resources, Hydro Resources, and Tidal Resources. Key Points: Climate Change cause and effects are geographically predictable; In other words, sustainability is a geographically organized problem in space and time; GIS is a tool for managing geographically organized problems; Where and how to deploy are geographic problems; GIS technology is already deployed (CJMTK, GeoBase, Expeditionary Site Selection tool, Defensor Fortis, GeoFidelis, Enterprise Licenses USACOE ); Applying GIS to the problem of Sustainable Forward Operating Bases is underway; This approach is consistent with Energy Savings, Sustainability Goals, EMS, Transparency, and Cost Savings.
