                       COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT

     TOPIC:   Placement of tents - Tactical Operations Center
(TOC)  extensions.

     OBSERVATION:   Consider facing the track vehicl~s in the TOC
location so that they face 5W.      This presents the tent sides to
the rising and setting sun (which rises in the NE and sets in
the 5w) .   This also allows the prevailing wind (NE) to enter
the open ends of the extensions.      In the Shamal (dry, windy)
season, consider reversing this orientation to block the sand
and wind blowing from the `tThi.   This same principle applies to
tents and awnings.

there is no agency monitoring it.      Class III resupply is
becoming more difficult as supplies which units deployed wi-;~Th
