A SHORT DURATION NOT TO EXCEED 2-3 WEEKS. OTHERWISE, A TENT
CITY AND ASSOCIATED MESSING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
2. DEPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS:
A. AIRCRAFT PARKING. WE HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE
LOCAL BASE COMMANDER WHO HAS INDICATED THAT WE CAN EXPECT
TEMPORARY USE OF TWO ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT SHELTERS. THIS IS
SUFFICIENT TO HOUSE 12 ADDITIONAL, ASSOCIATED WRSK,

PAGE 03 RHIEFDA0354
SUPPORT SECTION, SQUADRON OPS AND BILLETING FOR ALL
PERSONNEL IN THIS SECOND INCREMENT.
B. SECURITY. SINCE THE AIRCRAFT PARKING AREA FOR THE
ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT IS 2-3 MILES FROM THE CURRENT SHELTERS,
WE CANNOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SECURITY WITH EXISTING SECURITY
FORCES. WE WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN THE SQUAD SIZED ELEMENT
WE HAD PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED IN REF A TO PROTECT CURRENT
RESOURSES. IF WE ARE TASKED TO SUPPORT QW MORE AIRCRAFT, WE
REQUEST THE FULL 44 MAN AIRBASE GROUND DEFENSE TEAM THAT
WOULD NORMALLY ACCOMPANY THE AVIATION PACKAGE. THAT WILL
ALOW US TO SATISFY BOTH OUR CURRENT DEFICIENCIES (COMBAT
COMM AND FUEL STORAGE PROTECTION) AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL
ENTRY CONTROL POINTS. OBSERVATION POST, RESPONSE TEAMS AND
ROVING PATROLS REQUIRED FOR THE ADDITIONAL 12 AIRCRAFT.
C. COMMUNICATIONS. THE CURRENTLY DEPLOYED SPECIAL
COMM AND COMBAT COMM UNIT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH
ALL COMMM REQUIREMENTS FROM THE PROPOSED LOCATION FOR THE
ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT/OPS AREA TO CURRENT WING OPERATIONS
CENTER/MAINTENENCE OPERATIONS CENTER. SEND NO ADDITIONAL
COMM PERSONNEL. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A SHIPPING STATUS ON

THE ADDITIONAL BASE STATION AND 35 FM RADIOS THAT WE HAD
PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED FROM THE 1880 COMM SQUADRON VIA FAX.
BASED ON THE TERRIN AND SHELTER CONSTRUCTION, HANDHELD
RADIOS ARE "USELESS" WITHOUT A BASE STATION.
D. BILLETING. CURRENTLY, ONLY APPROXIMATELY 20 SPACES
