 Preface
This manual is a guide for commanders, supervisors, and other personnel
concerned with the concepts and operation of Force Provider.
FM 24-424 provides insight, general data and operational information for the
commanders, supervisors, and personnel assigned or attached to a QM FP
company. It addresses the key aspects of performing the QM FP Company’s
critical wartime mission to “Provide FP Support” and accomplishing the unit’s
METL. The METL consists of 79 tasks categorized into the following four
missions:
• Conduct strategic deployment
• Conduct FP operations
• Defend assigned area
• Conduct strategic redeployment
Detailed information concerning the METL, as well as collective and individual
training, needed to do the unit’s METL is available in ARTEP 42-424-30-MTP.
The primary audiences for FM 24-424 are RC QM FP company commanders and
supervisors. The focus is on the organization of the FP Company, FP modules,
responsibilities, deployment, redeployment, and operations.
The proponent for this publication is HQ TRADOC. Send comments and
recommended changes directly to Commander, USACASCOM, Training
Directorate, ATTN: ATCL-AQ, Fort Lee, VA 23801-1713.
Unless this publication states otherwise, masculine nouns or pronouns do not
refer exclusively to men.

 Introduction
Commanders must bear in mind the stressful effects of combat as they plan and
conduct operations. The pressures that battlefield chaos and destruction placed
on soldiers have always been very great. Unit discipline, realistic field training,
deliberately fostered unit cohesion, and solid bonding between leader and led can
reduce the effects of this stress in part, but nothing can get rid of it. The
commander who understands this and protects his soldiers through strong,
positive, and caring leadership, proper mental, physical and training preparation,
and simple decisive plans will win (FM 100-5).
During Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the Army realized that it could do
more to improve the quality of life for the deployed soldier. Many soldiers were
using makeshift and field expedient latrines and showers. The Army wanted to
do a better job of providing for its soldiers; however, the equipment, plans, and
doctrine to do so were not in place before the conflict. The Army recognized the
importance of combating stress and sleep deprivation, while offsetting battle
fatigue and conserving fighting strength. It then set up the FP program. The
concept of FP was initially tested in Bosnia. Doctrine, training, and system
requirements were then developed as a result of lessons learned to improve the
quality of life for the deployed soldier.
An Informational Overview of FP Operations is available on CD-ROM (CD 101-
12). It can be ordered through normal distribution at Joint Visual Information
Activity, Tobyhanna Army Depot, PA, or from the CASCOM CD web site at
http://www.cascom.army.mil/cgi-win/polyform.exe/cd-rom_catalog. Besides this
FM, ARTEP 42-424-30 MTP has been developed and is available through normal
distribution. T&EOs for unit training (Chapter 5, ARTEP 42-424-30 MTP) are
also available ASAT program. The FP PM office at SSCOM, maintains a
homepage at www.sscom.army.mil/pm-fp/index.html.

 Chapter 1

FP Overview
SECTION I – INTRODUCTION TO THE FP CONCEPT

QM FP COMPANY
1-1. The QM Company (FP) and the FP module are separate entities
joined together in the theater or other designated area of operation.
The FP module is not organic to the QM FP Company and until
requisitioned, is part of the AMC. The QM FP Company’s organic
assets can transport themselves, maintain organic equipment, defend
against a Level I threat, and maintain communications.

FP TOE MISSION
1-2. FP was developed to improve the soldier’s combat readiness. It
provides the front-line soldier a brief rest from combat. The FP system
helps in the areas of health, welfare, and morale of soldiers. It provides
feeding, showering, and laundry support. It also provides areas for
sleep, rest, and relaxation. Also, FP can be used as a theater reception
and staging base when deployed to an underdeveloped or war-ravaged
theater. It can also be used as a rest stop or base for reconstitution for
soldiers and vehicles passing through as they deploy/redeploy. Besides
its military missions, the QM FP Company and FP module may also be
used to support humanitarian aid and disaster relief, as well as to
NEO. Assistance to U.S. Civil Authorities will be IAW FM 100-19.

QM FP COMPANY EMPLOYMENT
1-3. The QM FP Company may be used to meet any of the missions
stated above. When used for its primary mission, QM FP Company will
normally be organized according to TOE 42424L000. A sample TOE is
included in Appendix A. The unit will be issued FP module(s) from
Army prepositioned stock and assigned to an appropriate element of a
TAACOM, COSCOM, or DISCOM. In some instances, FP may be
assigned to a JTF.
•Theater Army Area Command. When assigned to TAACOM, the FP
mission most closely matches that of an ASG BSB, TOE 63636L.
As alternatives, it could also be attached to an ASB or an S&S
Battalion. Refer to FM 54-40.
•Corps Support Command. If assigned to COSCOM, FP may be
attached to CSG, BSB, or CSB. Refer to FM 63-3.

1-1
FM 42-424 _________________________________________________________________________

•Division Support Command. In some instances, FP may be assigned

to DISCOM in direct support to a particular division, or units in
the divisional area. In this case, the MSB would be the most likely
choice for FP attachment.
1-4. A QM FP Company may be employed on an area basis, serving
soldiers in a geographical area; or it may be employed in support of a
brigade-size element. In either case, FP will remain under the major
command to which it is assigned. Depending on METT-T, a FP module
could be located as far forward as the DSA. Theater command structure
and FP mission for each deployment will determine exact assignment.

FP OPERATORS
1-5. Current RC QM FP Companies are manned as type B units. They
provide a nucleus of officers and NCOs to provide the leadership and
technical expertise needed to support deployment and operations.
When deployed, over 400 additional personnel may be required to reach
Level I staffing. These additional personnel may be drawn from
military, nonmilitary, local nationals, or third-country nationals to
support a six-module deployment. The requesting organization will
determine if use of military personnel is the best method. If this is so,
then they should request deployment of the QM FP companies through
appropriate channels. If they decide LOGCAP support is the best
method, they must prepare a SOW and coordinate with AMC for
LOGCAP support.
1-6. Nonmilitary operators of a FP module that may be substituted for
U.S. military personnel are DOD/DA civilians, LOGCAP contractor
personnel, local nationals, and/or third country nationals. DOD
civilians may operate MWR facilities as well as civilians employed by
AAFES. The skills of nonmilitary operators should match, as close as
possible, those of the MOSs designated in the TOE. FM 63-11 gives the
Army's guidance for employing contractors on the battlefield. Three
scenarios the QM FP Company can be manned and operated under are
given below.
• AllMilitary. An all-military staff can operate a module, or modules.
Military personnel are detailed from AC/RC units in support of the
QM FP Company in their operations.
• Combination of Military and Nonmilitary. A module or modules can
be operated by any combination of military personnel and
LOGCAP contractors, host nation support personnel and/or third
country nationals. Contracted personnel will be supervised by the
military command structure. The commander and the
contracting/purchasing officer will need to work closely with the
contractor to ensure that all items listed in the SOW are fulfilled.
A translator or interpreter may be required for this type scenario.
The contract may allow civilian augmentees to live within and
receive subsistence from FP.

1-2
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

• LOGCAP Personnel. A module or modules can be operated entirely

by LOGCAP contractors independent of any military command
and control. The LOGCAP contractor will operate one to six FP
modules under the general control of the MACOM. All TOE
equipment, with the exception of weapons, will be required for
operation. If not supplied by the contractor, equipment must be
provided as GFE. The contractor must accept complete
accountability for all GFE and perform operator and unit level
maintenance IAW appropriate TMs. The contractor will also have
the same dependencies as a military unit, unless otherwise
specified in the SOW.

AVAILABILITY OF FP MODULE
1-7. All of the FP modules are available in support of contingencies
throughout the world. A total of 36 FP modules are planned for
requisition and use and are prepositioned on ships or in CONUS depots
as Army prepositioned stock. Current distribution of modules is:
•4 completed modules are stored at Sierra Army Depot
•1 module earmarked for training is at Sierra Army Depot.
•6-ISP#1 modules are stored on USNS Gordon.
•2 modules are deployed in Bosnia.
1-8. AMC owns all of the FP modules. Once a module has been
approved for deployment, AMC arranges transportation for the module
and maintains ownership until hand receipt for the module is cleared to
the FP Company Commander at the approved operating site. The
commander is then responsible for the module or modules and is
accountable for report of survey on all module equipment. AR 670-1
gives information on how to release and loan a FP module.

SECTION II – CAPABILITIES, LIMITATIONS, AND DEPENDENCIES

CAPABILITIES
1-9. A QM FP Company can operate one through six FP modules. Each
FP module supports 550 soldiers/customers, plus the QM FP Company
operator staff. When six modules are employed with a QM FP
Company, it can support 3,300 soldiers/customers plus the required
operator staff. The modules within a company may be joined or
deployed near each other. However, the operation of each module will
typically remain distinct. METT-T and the mission will determine the
number of soldiers to be supported. When a QM FP Company and a
single module are linked for operation, they will provide the following
services and facilities to the tenant unit:

1-3
FM 42-424 _________________________________________________________________________

• Climate-controlled billeting for 550 tenant personnel and 44 billets

for FP operators.
• Sanitary climate-controlled showers sufficient for 10-minute
showers per person/per day.
• Twenty-four sanitary, climate-controlled latrines and four urinals.
• Food service, to include three cook-prepared meals daily (1,650
cook-prepared meals per day).
• Laundry services capable of laundering 200-pounds/per hour.
• MWR, medical, chaplain, and administrative support facilities and
equipment.

LIMITATIONS
1-10. Usage of the FP System should be a well thought-out, deliberate
effort. While the system offers attractive amenities for the deployed
soldier/customer, the following limitations of the FP module and QM
FP Company should be considered:
• Size.A single FP module requires 10 acres of land and extensive
site preparation. The FP module is packaged in about 103
TRICONs, five 20-foot ISO containers, 27 trailer-mounted
generators, and assorted other self-storing items. Set-up time for
each module is about 10 to 12 days using 50 people. A sample
shipping configuration is provided in Appendix B.
• Mobility. Because of its size, and land requirements, the FP
system is not redeployable in the theater. Once set up, it cannot
be relocated. Redeployment of the FP module will return it to
CONUS for refurbishment.
• Defensibility. The QM FP Company can defend against a Level I
threat.
• Cost. In 1998, the cost of the FP module employed with Active
and/or Reserve Components is $51.50 per soldier/per day. This
includes food, billeting, field services, supplies, and maintenance
for module components. If used with the cold weather kit, the
figure increases to $55.72 per soldier/per day. This estimate is
subject to change as cost-saving improvements and modifications
are made to the module. Refurbishment costs for a module are
about $2.2 million, dependent on length of deployment and
environmental conditions of the site.

DEPENDENCIES

1-4
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

1-11. Transportation. The FP module is heavily dependent upon

transportation assets for movement from the prepositioned locations to
the FP area of operations. Table 1-1 illustrates the transportation
assets. The QM Company does not own the module, nor have the
organic

equipment needed to transport it, but once on site, most of the module's
equipment, and containers can be off-loaded with QM FP Company
organic MHE.

Table 1-1. Transportation Assets Needed Table 3-1.

Airplane C-130: 54 flights

C-141: 24 flights
C-17: 12 flights
C-5: 9 flights
Road 35 tractor-trailer
Rail 13, 68-foot gondola cars
14, 89-foot flat cars

1-5
FM 42-424 _________________________________________________________________________

1-12. Real Estate Acquisition. The Theater of Operations real estate staff
must acquire the necessary real estate for FP. The TOPNS real estate
contact can be the USACE real estate specialist from CREST, MACOM,
ACofS, Engineer staff, or NAVFAC real estate personnel. The site can
be acquired either through host nation support or leasing. In some
cases, real estate acquisition may determine the site selection. Each
module requires 8 to 10 acres for set up. This does not include areas for
parking, remote fuel sites and additional MWR open spaces. In a good
location, it takes about 48 hours to prepare the site. Allow 72 hours to
prepare a site in a fair location (uneven terrain, lots of brush/trees,
partially stable soil, and poor drainage). For a poor location (rough/hilly
terrain, dense vegetation, unstable soil and poor drainage), allow about
96 hours to prepare the site
1-13. Engineering Assets. Appropriate engineering units (normally
Engineer Combat Battalion, Heavy TOE 05415L000) will be required
for site survey, layout, and site preparation. Once FP is setup,
engineering support will be required for RPMA, which may include
prime power (TOE 05616L000), utilities maintenance (TOE
05530LH00), fire fighting (TOE 055410L000) and dust abatement.
Actions of this nature should be coordinated with TAACOM or ASCC.
Disposal of solid waste, including medical and food waste, must be
arranged. This can be through incineration or haul-away by military or
contract. A FP module can generate 20,000 gallons of graywater and
3,000 gallons of blackwater per day. Coordinate solid waste IAW CESP,
or the ASCC’s OPLAN, both, which are part of the logistics annex of the
CINC’s OPLAN.
1-14. Logistical Support. Maintenance support above unit level will be
required from the supporting CSG for FP equipment. A Supply
Company (DS) attached to the CSG ASG is required for Class I, II, III,
IV, VI, and VII supply support. An Ammunition Supply Company

1-6
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

attached to supporting group will provide Class V support and a DS

Maintenance Company is required for Class IX support.
1-15. Area Support Medical Services. The FP unit depends on the Area
Support Medical Battalion, TOE 08455L000, for Level II unit and
resident health service support.
1-16. Chaplain. The FP unit depends on resident unit ministry team for
religious support.
1-17. Medical. The FP depends on Area Support Medical Battalion, TOE
08455L000 for Level II unit and resident health service support.
1-18. Defense. The FP unit depends on theater assets for defense against
Level II/III threat.
1-19. MWR. MWR operations must be done by MWR personnel
provided by the CFSC or from the pool of volunteer MWR specialists.
1-20. Water. The FP unit depends on Quartermaster Supply Company,
TOE 42477L000 for potable water supply, (25,000-gallons/per day) if
commercial sources are not available.

FP Module
SECTION I – INTRODUCTION TO FP MODULE

GENERAL INFORMATION
3-1. A FP module is the basic building block for larger FP systems. One
550-person FP unit is termed a module. As many as six modules may be
joined depending upon the mission. The major FP subsystems may also be
rearranged to hold a particular terrain, mission, local utility support, or
area constraint.
3-2. The FP module consists of existing and new CSS equipment. It is built
around specific subsystems, some of which are only found in a FP module
(containerized latrine, water, the all-electric kitchen, and the
containerized batch laundry). Not all modules are identical. Throughout
the production cycle of the planned 36 modules, modifications and
improvements have been made to the module under production at that
time. Module configurations are listed in Appendix B. A sample layout of
the FP system is shown in Figure 3-1.
3-3. Aside from efficiency, a major factor in the design of the module was
storage and ease of transportation. The system is packaged in about 100
TRICONs. Each TRICON’s outside dimensions of are 8 by 8 by 6½ feet. It
weighs under 10,000 pounds. Containerized latrines and batch laundry
subsystems are housed and shipped in 20-foot containers. Modules are
Army pre-positioned stock, available for deployment/placement, by air,
land or sea, from either CONUS depots or pre-positioned ships.
3-4. A FP module contains 11 major functional areas, also known as FP
module subsystems. In some cases, a subsystem may be located at more
than one site, such as the latrine and shower; or may be large and
dispersed, such as graywater collection. The major subsystems of a FP
module are:

• Billeting TEMPER with ECU for heating and cooling

• Administrative facility
• Morale, welfare, and recreation facility
• Portable field shower assembly (12-head) or containerized shower
(depending on the module)
• Containerized batch laundry
• Containerized latrine
• Food service subsystem (all electric)
• Bulk fuel storage and distribution system

3-1

• Potable water storage and distribution system

• Graywater collection system
• PDISE
MAST
3-5. Current initiatives underway by the FP PM office include
development of the Maintain, Account, Sustain and Train informational
database system for FP. The MAST system will use AIT to support asset
inventory by tagging durable and non-expendable components. The
automated asset inventory will enhance the maintenance, accounting,
sustaining, and training capabilities of FP modules, with specific
emphasis on operator/camp manager requirements. It is being designed to
interface with GCSS-Army database. (GCSS-Army web site:
http://www.cascom.army.mil/automation/gcss-
army_global_combat_support_system-army). Specific MAST capabilities
will include the following:

• Enhance inventory speed and accuracy for both deployment and

retrograde.
• Enhance maintenance by providing additional links and information
resources for identification of FP validated substitutes and spare
parts.
• Provide inventory management and operational status tracking.
• Provide technical and operational data for both the overall system
and appropriate subsystems.
• Provide early data reporting to FP PM of maintenance and inventory
status of retrograde material.

SECTION II – FP SUBSYSTEMS

TEMPER
3-6. The heart of the FP module is the TEMPER. It provides climate-
controlled billeting and supports facilities for customer/tenant functions.
The TEMPER is equipped with Bruce lights, convenience outlets, fabric
flooring, heating and air-conditioning, as well as vestibules and bump-
through doors. Each billet TEMPER is equipped with 15 cots and
footlockers, chairs and cleaning supplies. TEMPERs are constructed in 8-
foot sections. A 32-foot TEMPER has four 8-foot sections, and requires 11
soldiers to erect (leader and two soldiers per arch). Table 3-1 shows
Tempers in a typical FP module:

ADMINISTRATIVE SUBSYSTEM
3-8. The administrative subsystem provides facilities for administrative
support, medical support and chaplain services. The six 32-foot TEMPERs,
which share a common area, are used for:
• Administrative. Provides space for the FP Company to control day-to-
day operations of the module; includes tables and chairs.
• Medical. Provides a space for user unit or medical personnel and
equipment to occupy in support of a particular FP mission; includes
tables, chairs, cots, and a first aid kit.
• Chaplain. Provides space for user unit or chaplain personnel and
equipment to occupy in support of a particular FP mission; includes
tables, chairs and assorted religious items.

SHOWER SUBSYSTEM
3-12. The portable field shower assembly is familiar to most field service
personnel. The housing facility for this shower is what makes it different
from other standard setups. The shower is housed in a climate-controlled
TEMPER joined by a vestibule to another TEMPER for use as a changing
area. Eleven soldiers are required to erect the 32-foot TEMPERs (leader
and 2 soldiers per arch). After the TEMPER has been erected, only three
soldiers are required to set up the remainder of the facility. Figure 3-2

FP Environmental Guidance
And Safety Procedures
SECTION I – ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND STEWARDSHIP

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES
4-1. The Army environmental vision is to be a national leader in
environmental and natural resource stewardship for present and future
generations. The definition of stewardship is to take care of property
while also caring about the rights of others. Operations must be planned
without harming the environment. Good environmental stewardship
lets leaders take care of soldiers and also saves resources vital to combat
readiness. The purpose of the environmental protection stewardship
program is to standardize environmental protection compliance with
federal, state, local, and host nation laws and regulations. FM 20-400
provides guidance and information on basic environmental protection
stewardship. Noncompliance with the program may result in:
• Damage to the environment and to natural resources
• Endangerment of personnel health and safety
• Severe civil or military penalties

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION STEWARDSHIP GOALS AND

REQUIREMENTS
4-2. The Army no longer merely complies with the laws and regulations
of environmental protection stewardship. It leads in environmental
protection by setting goals and requirements for its leaders. The goals of
the Army’s environmental stewardship protection program are:

• Compliance. Ensure that all Army sites and operations attain and
sustain 100 percent compliance with environmental laws and
regulations in a climate of changing requirements. Army sites or
operations will not be subject to a notice of violation or a fine for not
following host nation, local, state, or federal environmental
directives.
• Prevention. Adopt and use integrated management approaches in all
Army mission areas to reduce the volume and toxicity of all
categories of environmental pollution.
• Conservation. Conserve, protect, and enhance environmental and
cultural resources entrusted to the Army’s stewardship of future
generations using all practical and available means consistent with
the Army mission.

4-1
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

4-3. The requirements of the Army’s environmental stewardship

protection program are:

• Appraisal. Require an appraisal to determine their potential

environmental impacts.
• Training. Require all key Army decision-makers and planners to
attend NEPA training.
• Restoration. Ensure strict compliance with all spill and release
reporting, timely resource requests and allocations, and clean-up
requirements of all Army contaminated sites, as quickly as
resources are made available to protect human health and the
environment.
• Environmental consideration. Ensure that all available
environmental and cultural resources are incorporated early in the
mission decision-making and planning process.

UNIT-LEVEL ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING PROGRAM

4-10. An effective environmental protection stewardship training program
allows personnel to carry out their responsibilities without undue damage
to the environment or to personnel safety. It is the responsibility of the
Company Commander to ensure all personnel are trained on
environmental hazards and the appropriate precautions for reducing or
eliminating damage to the environment or risk to personnel.
4-11. All personnel should receive environmental awareness and
protection training within 90 days of assignment and annually thereafter.
All personnel will be trained to do their tasks in compliance with
environmental laws and regulations. They must also respond properly to
emergencies. All environmental protection and HM/HW training must be
properly documented and kept on file in the operations/training office.
Issues that should be addressed in the unit's environmental protection
training program are:

• HM management
• HW management
• HAZCOM
• Pollution prevention
• HAZMIN
• Spill prevention and response
• Recycling program
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ISSUES
4-12. Hazardous Material Requisitioning. The HM/HW Coordinator will
maintain an up-to-date list of all the unit’s hazardous materials,
corresponding manuals, and documents. The unit’s inventory should be
kept as small as possible to reduce potential for incident. The least
amount of hazardous or potentially hazardous material needed to do the
task should be requested.
4-13. Hazardous Material Storage. Storage of hazardous materials can
create safety hazards and extended term storage may lead to
environmental hazards. Hazardous materials should be stored in their
original or approved containers. All containers must be clearly labeled
with the appropriate MSDS information. An MSDS sheet should be kept
in the appropriate hazard communications manuals. HM should be used
on a first-in first-out basis. Surplus quantities of HM, which need an
extended period of storage, should be turned in.
4-14. Hazardous Material Turn-In. Store all POL products with secondary
containment. To stop spillage outside the immediate area, construct berms
that can hold one and one-half times the volume of the largest container
stored in the area. Store all HM and HW so that they are protected from
the elements to maintain container integrity. Inspect all containers for

4-4
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

leaks and for incomplete, unreadable, or out-of-date labels weekly.

Inspect HW weekly. Document results of the inspection on a log and make
them accessible to federal, state, or local inspectors. Inspection logs should
contain the following:

• Description of waste
• Location
• Quantity
• Date accumulation started
• End of 90-day period
• Date removed to DRMO or other agency
• Remarks (condition of containers)
• Inspector’s printed name, signature, and date of inspection
4-15. DRMO can provide guidance for local turn in of HW and unused
HMs. All HW awaiting turn-in should be documented using an
accumulation log. The log will give the date the container was opened,
date and quantity of each addition to the container, name of the person
adding HW to the container, the date the container was filled or closed,
and the date of turn-in to DRMO or other authorized agency. All turn-in
documents for HM and HW and the accumulation logs for HW should be
kept on file by the unit for two years.
4-16. Hazardous Waste Accumulation. Place all accumulation of HW on a
nonpermeable bermed hardstand, label it, and locate it 50 feet or more
from any building. Protect it from the elements. Used greases, solvents,
brake fluids, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze are examples of substances that
should be stored in separate containers. To safeguard against spills and
prevent water from entering the containers, keep them (drums, cans, or
tanks) closed except when depositing waste. If threaded caps on 55-gallon
drums are missing, replace them through the PLL.
4-17. As a rule of thumb, enough headspace should be allowed in the
containers to prevent overflow from the expansion. Table 4-1 gives the
headspace.

Table 4-1 Headspace for Containers

Headspace
Container (Inch)
5-gal can 1½ to 2
55-gal can 3 to 4

4-18. To be accepted for turn-in, the waste material must be in a safe,

nonleaking, durable container. Leaking containers can be overpacked in
steel removable head drums. Leaking containers of liquids must be packed
in absorbent material. A leaking 55-gallon drum may be over packed in an
85-gallon drum. The absorbent material must be able to soak up all of the

4-5
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

liquid contents of the drum; therefore, 6 inches of absorbent must be on

the bottom and top of the interior container, with at least 2 inches along
the sides. Leaking containers of nonliquid hazardous waste may not need
to be over packed with absorbent material. Many liquids, such as battery
acid, cannot be packed in steel containers.
4-19. Spill Response. A reportable spill is one that involves any amount of
hazardous material which may harm the environment or personnel. The
hazardous materials most commonly associated with FP are fuel, oil,
hydraulic fluid, grease, solvent, graywater, and blackwater. While other
potentially hazardous substances exist, these are the most prevalent and
require planning to effectively manage.
4-20. In areas where HM are used or stored or where HW is stored,
appropriate supplies, equipment, and personal protective items should be
easily available to allow an immediate response to any spills or accidents.
Refer to the MSDS for a specific product or contact the HW/HM section of
the DRMO for guidance on the spill response items and equipment
required to safely respond to a potential spill.
4-21. If a hazardous spill occurs, available or appropriate personnel should
immediately take the following steps:
1. Ensure your safety and the safety of those around you before acting.
2. Evacuate the area, if necessary
3. Report the spill to your supervisor. Sound the alarm or give verbal
warning. Have someone call the fire department if the spill is
something you can not handle safely.
4. Extinguish smoking materials and all other sources of ignition.
5. Take personal precautions as detailed on the MSDS for the material
spilled.
6. Stop the leak or flow, if possible (shut off valves, tip drums, plug
holes).
7. Contain the spill by using absorbent material. Make dams to
prevent materials from spreading or entering water or storm
drains.
8. Clean up material with a nonsparking shovel or broom. Place the
residue in a serviceable container with lid, marked “Hazardous
Waste - Contaminated Absorbent.” Check with the ECO for proper
disposal.
9. If the spill resulted from a leaky container, transfer the product to a
serviceable container. Label the container as follows:
a. For fuel, oil, or hydraulic fluid spills label the container “POL
Spill Residue.”
b. For flammable liquid spills, including solvents, paints, paint
thinners, and alcohol, label the container “(name of liquid) Spill
Residue–FLAMMABLE.”

SECTION II – SAFETY

PROMOTING SAFETY AWARENESS

4-22. Safety in the field is not all common sense. Soldiers should be
encouraged to continually conduct their work safely and to assist others in
working safely. Leaders must be the example. They must train soldiers in
the techniques and procedures for working safely and avoiding
unnecessary accidents or injury. ARs 385-10 and 385-40 gives information
on the Army’s safety program, and FM 21-11 outlines actions to take if an
injury occurs.
4-23. The commander sets up procedures to identify all personnel
performing safety in their job. He must also ensure that their job
descriptions clearly show these responsibilities. All supervisors and
soldiers will receive safety training. Supervisors should be trained to
recognize and eliminate hazards and to develop other required skills to
implement the Army’s safety program to the working level. Soldiers will
receive specialized job, safety, and health training. This training will
include OSHA criteria and the hazards associated with any materials or
operations in the workplace.

LIFTING HAZARDS
4-24. The setup, operation, and dismantling of the FP module is labor
intensive. It requires personnel to do a large amount of lifting and
bending. Many items associated with the module, such as the M80 water
heaters or the SEP, weigh in excess of 400 pounds and require a forklift or
a minimum of a 6-man lift to position. The erection of the TEMPERs
require excessive amounts of bending and lifting. If done improperly, this
may affect the health and safety of personnel. Supervisors should ensure
all soldiers use proper lifting techniques and body mechanics when setting
up, operating, and dismantling the FP module. Soldiers should be tasked
in teams suitable to the lifting needs of the task.. Forklifts and other
equipment should be used whenever possible to reduce the risk of
personnel injury.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
4-25. Each FP subsystem or structure uses electrical power. Electricity in
field conditions presents unusual safety hazards which must be managed
to prevent personnel injury or death. To prevent electrical shock, each
subsystem and structure should be thoroughly grounded using earth
ground. The proper electrical grounding rods are given in the FP
containers. Electrical system grounding should be inspected periodically
to ensure proper grounding is constantly maintained for the electrical
systems of all subsystems and structures.
4-26. Electrical cables should be inspected periodically for cuts, abrasions,
and connectivity. Power should be removed from cut or abraded cables

4-7
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

and the cables should be repaired or replaced. Field conditions may

require electrical cables to lay in mud or standing water. If possible, use
sandbags and other nonconductive materials such as wood may be used to
raise cables. If needed, cables may also be buried to help move equipment
and personnel, and prevent damage or electrical shock.
4-27. A soldier should NEVER be allowed to work on electrical equipment
with power applied. Soldiers should remove electrical power, disconnect
the power source, if necessary, and tag out the power source until all
repairs are complete. Soldiers should also be encouraged to use the buddy
system whenever performing work on electrical equipment.

EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR WASTE

4-28. FP uses and generates hazardous material and waste which is
dangerous to personnel. Personal protective equipment should be
available for use.
4-29. FP uses a great amount of fuel to power the tactical generators and
organic vehicles and equipment. Fuel is a personnel hazard in the form of
contact, flammability, ingestion, and inhalation. It should always be
handled with care. Fuel storage areas should be clearly marked and
designated as "no smoking" areas. These markings should also be included
in the languages of the host nation. Proper grounding procedures should
be used whenever transferring fuel from one item to another. Fuel storage
facilities or containers should always be properly grounded.
4-30. Fuel also presents a danger in the form of carbon monoxide.
Expended fuel produces carbon monoxide gas which if breathed for a long
time can cause injury or death. Ensure engine exhausts are appropriately
vented into outside air. Also, ensure that soldiers are not permitted to
work in unventilated areas where carbon monoxide gas may be present.
4-31. Wastewater generated from the operations of the 12-head shower
and the containerized batch laundry are considered graywater.
Graywater contains detergents, bleaches, and other substances which may
be hazardous to personnel. It is a personnel hazard in the form of contact
and ingestion. Every effort should be made to eliminate or reduce
exposure to graywater. If soldiers must work with components containing
graywater, appropriate personnel protective equipment should be worn. If
a person comes in contact with graywater, he should thoroughly flush the
soap and potable water.
4-32. The containerized latrine uses internal storage tanks to contain
human wastes. Blackwater is a personnel hazard in the form of contact,
ingestion, and inhalation. It is a hazardous waste. Soldiers who must work
with items containing or contacting blackwater should wear appropriate
personal protective equipment to reduce risk. If they come in contact with
blackwater, they should thoroughly flush the exposed areas with soap and
potable water. For extreme exposure, medical attention should be sought
immediately after decontamination.
4-33. FP uses highly chlorinated water to sanitize the potable water
subsystems before it is dismantled. Highly chlorinated water is toxic to

4-8
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

personnel. It should be considered hazardous waste. Highly chlorinated

water presents a hazard to personnel in the form of contact, ingestion, and
inhalation. Soldiers that work with items containing or contacting highly
chlorinated water should wear appropriate personal protective equipment
to eliminate or reduce risk. If a person comes in contact with highly
chlorinated water, they should thoroughly flush the exposed areas with
soap and potable water. For extreme exposure, medical attention should
be sought immediately after decontamination.

 Chapter 5

Deploying FP
SECTION I – PREPARATION FOR DEPLOYMENT

REQUESTING FP SUPPORT
5-1. A theater or task force wanting FP support must first know exactly
what its requirements would be. It must also know how FP will be used;
for example, rest and refit, base camp operations, intermediate staging
base, evacuation or humanitarian aid. This results in a well-defined
mission statement. Based on this mission statement, DA DCSLOG will
determine the appropriateness of the request. If approved, DA DCSLOG
makes the necessary arrangements to release FP module(s) from Army
prepositioned stock. AMC will arrange transport of modules to theater
SPOD. At the same time, the requesting organization will perform an
analysis to determine the appropriate mode of operation. If full or
partial operation by military personnel is the best method, the
organization requests deployment of a QM FP Company(s) through the
appropriate channels.

HOME STATION ACTIVITIES

5-2. After orders are received to deploy, the Commander and the First
Sergeant of the QM FP Company begin deployment alert and recall
activities. Preparation for overseas movement will be done in order to
bring the company to the appropriate strength and to complete
necessary administrative tasks. Predeployment training will be carried
out to ensure mastery of the tasks required to perform the unit’s critical
mission of “Providing FP Support.”
5-3. Predeployment supply activities will be done to ensure that the
company has enough supplies of food, fuel, water, ammunition, repair
parts, and other needed items to sustain a nontactical road march from
home station to the port of debarkation, and a tactical road march from
the port of embarkation to the FP AO. Consideration should also be
taken to acquire necessary items for the support of the FP Module(s).
See Appendix D for the FP SSP. Besides the SSP, certain Class IV
construction materials, such as soil, aggregate, lumber, fencing, and
gabion wire may also be required, depending on the AO.
5-4. The company’s publication library must be verified and updated to
include the most recent copies of all required publications including
TMs. The TMs included with pre-positioned FP modules and operational
project stocks are updated only during COSIS cycles (30-month
intervals), so an up-to-date library will be invaluable.

5-1
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

5-5. The commander will assign key personnel from the QM FP

Company to deploy as soon as possible, as part of the AMC LSE advance
quartering party. Key personnel include the contracting officer, the
engineer officer, and the preventive medicine NCO. The contracting
officer will coordinate with the MACOM contracting officer for
nonmilitary services and materials. The engineer officer will begin the
site selection process with the site selection team and supervise site
preparation. The preventive medicine NCO will conduct surveillance of
the area to determine sanitary conditions and medical requirements.
The senior ranking company representative will lead the company
personnel and will maintain communications with the company
commander concerning advance quartering party activities and
progress.
5-6. Planning and preparation for a nontactical road march from home
station to the port(s) of embarkation will be done. The plan should
include the route to be taken, time, fuel requirements, and other critical
factors. Preparation for the nontactical road march begins with the
performance of corrective maintenance, as necessary, on mission specific
organic equipment. PMCS are also done on all organic vehicles and
equipment in preparation for an extended deployment.

SECTION II –ADVANCE QUARTERING PARTY ACTIVITIES

SELECTION OF COMPANY ADVANCE QUARTERING PARTY MEMBERS

5-7. Key personnel and other members assigned by the company
commander will travel to the theater or AO as part of the AMC LSE
advance quartering party. Key personnel are the contracting officer, the
engineer officer, and the preventive medicine NCO. The company
commander may coordinate with the leader of the AMC LSE Advance
Quartering Party to determine if other members of the company should
be assigned duties as a member of the party. The senior ranking
company representative will lead the company personnel and maintain
communications with the company commander concerning advance
quartering party activities and progress.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADVANCE QUARTERING PARTY

5-8. The AMC LSE advance quartering party is responsible to: (1) secure
an appropriate site for the operation of a FP module(s); (2) supervise the
physical preparation of the site(s) for setup of the module(s); (3) secure
required nonmilitary support and resources for FP site preparation,
setup, and operations; and (4) conduct surveillance to determine
sanitary, environmental, and medical issues associated with the AO.
Upon procurement of an operating site, the advance quartering party
will occupy the area, secure the site, and direct site preparations. They
must also perform guide functions, as required, to direct the main body
to the operating site.

5-2
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

SELECTING A SITE FOR FP OPERATIONS

5-9. The site selection process is the responsibility of the AMC LSE
advance quartering party and begins before the main body moves from
home station. The advance quartering party must consider the mission,
political considerations, and availability of appropriate resources into
the selection decision. Host nation representation should be included in
the selection process. FP deployment requires tons of equipment to be
transported and thousands of hours of labor making it crucial that the
operating site also be secure, safe, accessible, environmentally viable,
and suitable for providing effective FP support. The site selection
process is a joint effort typically consisting of the following team
members:

• The Task Force or MACOM of the receiving theater, represented by

the plans officer of the Rear Command Post.
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Contingency Real Estate
Acquisition Team (CREST), or equivalent assurance of site
acquisition either through HNS or leasing
• Engineer Terrain Analysis Section of a Topographic Planning and
Control Company, or equivalent, for terrain and soil analysis
• USACE Force Protection Specialist or equivalent
• The theater engineering unit (military or civilian) selected to
perform the site preparation
• FP Company, represented by the contracting officer and
engineering officer
5-10. Conversion factors and foreign units of measure to assist an
OCONUS site selection are provided at Appendix E.

SITE SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

5-11. Mission. Consider what units or groups FP will be supporting.
Remember that FP operations will not relocate, so it is paramount that
the module(s) be placed in an area that will provide convenient, long-
term service to the units to be supported.
5-12. Security. The QM FP Company can defend against a Level I threat
and requires assistance from tenant and/or theater assets for Level II/III
threats. In determining the security level of the FP module(s), consider
the METT-T and the units and organizations to be supported. A FP
module will typically be located in the corps area and not farther
forward than the division support area. A set of six FP modules will not
be placed forward of the corps rear area. The security of supply routes
and heavily traveled roadways in the FP AO should also be considered
in the security assessment.
5-13. Safety. Safety hazards such as flooding, landslides, or avalanches
may exist. Consider previous land uses and slope, such as landfills or
other contaminated sites. Since FP consists mainly of tent structures,
avoid high wind areas. Consider whether the current or previous
occupants may have mined the area under consideration. Use satellite

5-3
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

imagery, ground inspection, and local knowledge to ensure the operating

area is free of mines and unexploded ordnance.
5-14. Geographical, Terrain, and Geological Considerations. Careful
selection reduces overall site work, climate control effort, and drainage
requirements. In most cases, flat, gently sloping (7 percent maximum
grade), featureless terrain is preferred. However, security or prevailing
climate may favor a wooded area. Selecting a site with some vegetation
will lessen erosion in a rainy or windy environment and reduce dust in a
dry climate. Avoid the low points of valleys or other depressed areas
where water may collect. Consider the total hydrology of the area
including the water table throughout the time of the mission. Soil
stabilization requirements should also be kept to a minimum to reduce
the overall earthwork required.

• Terrain and soil analysis should be performed in two distinct

phases. First, maps, aerial photos, climate records, and other
available data should be used to extract and analyze basic terrain,
weather, and climate factors. Second, these factors should be
synthesized to predict their influence on site layout, installation of
facilities, utilities, camouflage, and the operation and maintenance
of the FP module(s).
• A ground reconnaissance should be done to verify all information
collected. It is also needed to obtain data which would not
otherwise be available. A site that appears suitable based on aerial
mapping may be not suitable for use due to ground conditions or
water table.
5-15. Political Considerations. Political factors, including national
sentiment and visibility may also influence which sites are available for
FP. In some cases, you may be denied use of an ideal site. Consider the
impact that FP and the presence of U.S. soldiers will have on the
community. When engaged in SASO, consider whether the site you
select appears to benefit a particular group or faction more than
another.
5-16. Logistical Supportability. Sustained FP operations require tons of
consumable resources such as electrical power, fuel, and potable water.
These resources may be available through theater resources or through
HNS.

• Electrical Power. The preferred source of electrical power for FP

operations is existing commercial power. To determine the
compatibility of existing commercial power with the demands of
FP operations, the following information must be researched:
§ Voltage, phase, and frequency of existing commercial power
§ Ability of the existing electrical utility to consistently meet the
electrical power demands of FP operations over the projected
timeframe
§ Predicted reliability and stability of the power source (outages
and voltage fluctuations)
§ Cost of power lines and step-down transformers. FP requires

5-4
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

direct high voltage lines from substations with step down

transformers. Simply tapping into low voltage service lines will
not provide adequate power.
If commercial power is appropriate to support FP operations, still plan
for diesel-powered generators to serve as backup or emergency power for
critical subsystems.

• Fuel Resources. Consider where appropriate supplies of fuel may be

obtained and the convenience and appropriateness of receiving
fuel from available alternatives. Supplies of JP8 and MOGAS will
need to meet Army fuel standards. Also, fuel consumption will be
considerably higher if diesel-powered generators are to be used as
the main source of electrical power generation.
• Potable Water. The average consumption of potable water per
person can range from 20 to 35 gallons per day dependent on
conditions. The preferred source of potable water to support FP
operations is existing commercial water. Since FP has the
capability to test and treat water, existing commercial water need
only meet standards which certify its appropriateness as a water
source. If an appropriate source of commercial water is not
conveniently available, general water support may be utilized or
engineering assets may be requested to evaluate the feasibility of
drilling wells to extract ground water.
5-17. Effective lines of communication will be required. Existing lines of
communication may be used, if available, and adequate to provide
uninterrupted communication services to and from key elements.
5-18. Adequate roads to and from the FP AO will be needed to deliver
materials and allow access to the FP site by tenant units. These roads
should be adequate for travel by a variety of military and civilian
vehicles. Consider the types of vehicles which will use the roads in and
around the FP AO. The weights, heights, and turning radii of: the
waste-water collection trailer, the water delivery truck, the fuel delivery
truck, the tank and pump unit, the 4K and 10K forklifts, customer unit
(tactical) vehicles, and fire-fighting and emergency vehicles.
5-19. Environmental protection impact, short term and long term, must
be considered before erecting a facility the size of FP is erected,
therefore, an environmental baseline survey must be completed before
construction begins. Also, you must ensure that the site meets all
applicable environmental laws and regulations, even if the local
population does not. Seek environmental compliance program guidance
through the chain of command to ensure that local environmental
concerns are properly.
5-20. Approximately 70 percent of the potable water consumed will be
returned as graywater or blackwater. Graywater and blackwater are
hazardous waste and effects to personnel and the environment must be
considered. Graywater will be stored using the graywater collection
subsystem supplied as part of the FP module. Blackwater from the
latrines will be stored in the holding tanks of the containerized latrines.

5-5
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

It will be collected for disposal using the WWVT/T. Disposal of

graywater and blackwater will be considered in the Civil Engineering
Support Plan for the theater in which FP is operating. Disposal options
include the use of a host nation sewer system (first choice), local
contractor haul to a commercial facility, government haul to a
commercial facility, or lagoon/field-expedient method.
5-21. If the host nation sewer system or local contractor is selected, the
persons responsible for the source of the wastewater must ensure it is
safely and properly disposed. FP personnel must verify the integrity of
the sewer system before allowing a contractor to dispose of wastewater.
Periodic inspections should be done to ensure that wastewater disposal
is IAW the environmental provisions of the disposal contract and other
provisions. If a host nation sewer system is not available, then other
choices must be found. Hauling wastewater to existing facilities is an
option and a logistical issue. On-site collection, treatment, and release of
wastewater is an engineering issue which should be done IAW FM 5-
163, local directives, and host nation laws and regulations on waste
disposal.
5-22. Solid waste must be collected and disposed of properly to keep the
area sanitary land protect the environment. Solid wastes are non-
hazardous items. They are usually disposed of in a CONUS landfill. The
preferred method of disposal for solid waste is an existing landfill near
the operating area. If an existing landfill is not available, engineering
assets need to prepare an appropriate landfill. The ultimate fate or
disposal of these items should be known prior to generating them.
There may be special, local management procedures required prior to
turn-in of these items. Consult the chain of command to determine
specific requirements, and ensure that they are incorporated into the
unit environmental program.

RECONNAISSANCE AND INFORMATION COLLECTION

5-23. To gather information about possible sites, site selection should be
based on many sources of information. No one source of information
should be relied upon exclusively, especially in parts of the world where
topographic and climate data are not extensive. The main source of site
selection information should be collected through the following types of
reconnaissance conducted by the AMC LSE Advance Quartering Party.
5-24. Reconnaissance Survey. The main purpose of a reconnaissance
survey is to find a site which best meet requirements considering
general layout and work required. Reconnaissance operations vary with
the operational environment; assigned mission; and the size, type, and
composition of the reconnaissance element. An aerial, map, or ground
reconnaissance is needed to determine potential FP sites. The general
principles of engineering reconnaissance outlined in FM 5-170 give
guidance on these surveys.
5-25. Route Reconnaissance. A route reconnaissance should be performed
to determine the suitability of a specified route, limited to critical
terrain data. It may be adequately recorded on a map overlay or sketch

5-6
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

and be supplemented by reports about various aspects of the terrain.

5-26. Road Reconnaissance. Road reconnaissance is done to determine the
traffic capabilities of existing roads. It is also used to give more detailed
information than is given by route reconnaissance. It may include
enough information to develop work estimates for improving the road.
DA Form 1248 should be used to record this information. Use maps and
sketches, as necessary.

NONMILITARY RESOURCES AND SUPPORT

5-27. The FP unit depends on many assets, especially during
deployment. Determine in-theater assets as early as possible.
Coordinate needs well in advance of deployment. Set up communication
channels with the logistics, transportation, and engineering elements
early. This will greatly improve the chances of a successful deployment.
5-28. FP personnel are not directly responsible for real estate
acquisition. However, they may have to deal with problems caused by
poorly written contracts and support agreements. FP personnel should
make sure all agreements, leases, and contracts are well reviewed by
engineer and legal experts within the USACE district.
5-29. Purchase or lease agreements should be made final before even the
start of the site being prepared. The earlier a site can be selected and
prepared, the more efficiently the FP camp will be constructed. Leases
or purchases arranged through MACOM should be completed before the
start of any site preparation activities. HNS Agreements already exist in
many nations throughout the world. An accurate and thorough survey of
capabilities in the receiving theater will help for a successful
deployment. HNS requirements will be directed by the MACOM.
5-30. Consider all levels of HNS. New construction should be avoided
whenever possible. In many cases, expansion and rehabilitation of
existing sites is adequate for FP use. An existing kitchen facility, for
instance, could be outfitted and/or supplemented with FP cooking
appliances to provide a better facility than using the TEMPER provided.
The Army Corps of Engineers also maintains construction-contracting
agencies that can assist with local construction. When existing facilities
are proposed, ensure that these meet minimum shelter requirements.
Theater Civil Engineering Support Plan and/or Annex D of the
Operation Order will set minimum standards. Soldiers should not be
billeted in or use sub-standard structures as a cost-saving measure.

SITE PLANNING AND PREPARATION

5-31. Site planning is the process of changing a prospective site into a
workable layout for a FP module. Preparing a FP site will likely involve
many personnel from several military and/or contract agencies. To avoid
confusion and speed the collective effort, ensure that the tasks assigned
to each organization are well defined. Define them in terms of scope,
standards of work, and when work must be started and tasks completed.
Monitor the progress of tasks. Correct problems immediately and

5-7
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

include changes in consideration of work completed.

5-32. Baseline Environmental Survey. The first step in the preparation
process should be a baseline environmental survey. This survey will
determine and document the existing conditions of the site. The reasons
for the survey are twofold. First, it assesses the site’s environmental
state before FP use. This can then be used as evidence of the Army’s
environmental protection program. Second, it gives a to use to restore
the site after it is not longer needed.
5-33. Layout. In most cases, the recommended site layout should be
used. See Figure 5-1 for a typical FP module layout. Note that the
recommended layout shows only organic FP subsystems and equipment.
Consider what other resources, tentage, and equipment your site may
need. Make necessary adjustments to the layout plan. These may
include billets and spaces for firefighters, utility teams, MWR personnel,
and hazardous waste accumulation areas. Deviations may be necessary
to fit FP to a particular site or mission. When an alternative layout will
be used, maintain minimum spacing and elevation relationships
between subsystems. See Table 5-1 for minimum spacing requirements
between subsystems. Engineer units have the necessary knowledge to
develop alternate plans.
5-34. Earthwork. The supporting Combat Engineer Battalion, Heavy; US
Air Force RED HORSE Squadron; Navy Mobile Construction Battalion
(SeaBees); LOGCAP; or the theater of operations CCA can prepare the
FP site. During site preparation, consider site restoration and
environmental impact. Make every effort not to disturb the site more
than absolutely needed. To gauge whether a site is “good,” “fair,” or
“poor,” use Table 5-2 to determine a baseline assessment. If your site
does not fall entirely into one category, use your best judgment and
experience to estimate site preparation time. If possible, cut and fill
should be balanced on the site to facilitate site restoration. Depending
on local conditions, dust abatement may be required during setup.
Engineers have this capability and should be consulted, as necessary.
Attempts should be made to minimize removal of existing grass and
vegetation to reduce dust and erosion. Table 5-3 shows the estimated
site preparation times for various Army engineering assets for three
categories of existing site condition. This information is estimated and
should be used only as an estimate. These estimates are for a standard
FP module. If the current mission involves more equipment, space, or
services, site preparation times will increase accordingly.

5-35. Road Construction. Roads in the FP compound must be able to

support heavy vehicles such as rough-terrain forklifts, HETs, and the
tracked vehicles of tenant units. If not constructed correctly, roads will
require constant maintenance to keep them serviceable under heavy
traffic conditions.
5-36. Drainage. Since the majority of FP subsystems are tent-based,
drainage is a top concern. Subsystems should be positioned to allow
proper drainage of the site and to avoid drainage of nearby land into the
FP area. Runoff due to heavy rain must be channeled away from key
subsystems. The latrines should always be positioned downhill from the
kitchen to prevent runoff from reaching the cooking area. Local
regulations and climate will affect the actions, which must be taken for
positive drainage control. When laying out the FP site, keep in mind the
desired elevation relationships between subsystems (Figure 5-2).
5-37. Site Survey and Staking. Survey the site and stake the activities
before setting up any FP module subsystems. Once surveyed, the control
points for each subsystem will be marked with a stake and flag (or spray
paint on hardstand) IAW the site layout. Within each subsystem, the
operators will stake the location of tents and equipment IAW the FP TM
using the control points as reference. Setup of each FP subsystem should
adhere strictly to the marked staking plan.

SUBSYSTEM SPECIAL PREPARATION

5-38. There are several subsystems in the FP Module that requires
special preparation considerations. These subsystems are listed below.
5-39. Berms. All collapsible 500-gallon and 20,000-gallon fabric fuel
tanks will be emplaced in a berm with raised sides to contain possible
fuel leaks or spills. Berms must be designed so that in the event a tank
burst the fuel will run off away from the FP compound to reduce the risk
of contamination and fire.
5-40. Culverts. Electrical cables and potable water and graywater hoses
should be buried under roads or pathways to prevent damage. Culvert
sections should be used to protect cables and hoses from being crushed
or separated. Where potable water hoses cross over or parallel
graywater hoses, the potable water hoses must be given 24 inches of
vertical and horizontal separation to prevent potential potable water
contamination. Either bury the nonpotable hose or use sandbags to raise

5-11
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

the potable line 24 inches. The couplings of potable and graywater hoses
must be separated by at least 36 inches to ensure that graywater leaks
do not contaminate potable water. When burying fuel lines, ensure that
culverts can be inspected for signs of leakage and that precautions are
taken to prevent spills from entering surrounding soil.
5-41. Hardstands. Several surface areas must be hardened to provide a
stable footing for heavy equipment and high traffic facilities. The
containerized latrine, the containerized batch laundry, the diesel power
generators, the 600-cubic-foot refrigerators, and the food service
subsystem dining facility all require hardstand emplacements. The FP
TM gives specific information concerning the weight and size of these
facilities and equipment.
5-42. Helipad. A helipad is part of the FP site. The primary use of the
helipad will be for medical evacuations. Locate the helipad as close as
possible to the FP medical TEMPER. Materials needed for construction
of the helipad, such as matting and lighting are not provided with the
FP module. The helipad should be located near the compound but far
enough away so that rotor wash does not cause damage to tents or
hazards to personnel.
5-43. Parking Facilities. A parking area for tenant unit vehicles and
equipment must be provided. The area must be large enough to hold all
of the unit's vehicles and provide space for the unit to conduct
maintenance during their stay.
5-44. Ammunition Holding Area. Tenant units may require the use of an
AHA at a safe distance from the FP site. The type and size of the AHA
will be determined by the needs of the units supported.
5-45. Waste Accumulation Sites. It will be necessary to construct sites for
storage of solid wastes and hazardous wastes. These storage sites should
be constructed IAW the company’s environmental protection program
and the appropriate laws and regulations governing waste storage in
the host nation.

SECTION III – MAIN BODY MOVEMENT

CONUS ACTIVITIES
5-46. Movement of the main body of the QM FP Company begins with a
nontactical road march from home station to the port(s) of embarkation.
This nontactical road march will be done using organic vehicles to
transport company personnel and required organic equipment. See TOE
42-424L000 for a complete listing of authorized organic equipment.
Dependent on time requirements and appropriateness, the nontactical
road march will proceed to a seaport and/or an aerial port of
embarkation. Upon arrival at the port(s) of embarkation, the company
will prepare equipment and personnel for overseas movement and await
departure. At this time, the AMC LSE Advance Quartering Party should
already have arrived in country. If possible, the commander of the QM
FP Company should make arrangements to maintain communication

5-12
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

with the advance quartering party so up-to-date information can be used

to begin immediately planning the occupation of the FP operational
area.

OVERSEAS MOVEMENT
5-47. Upon arrival at the port(s) of debarkation, the equipment
reception team will receive the QM FP Company’s organic equipment.
Final planning for the occupation of the FP AO should be conducted and
company personnel and equipment should be readied for a tactical road
march to the AO. The tactical road march may or may not be conducted
with other units. The road march should be planned to take advantage
of available resources and a security posture appropriate to the threat
identified should be maintained throughout the march. If needed,
members of the advance quartering party can help guide the main body
into the FP AO.

OCCUPATION OF THE FP AO
5-48. The AMC LSE Advance Quartering Party will have secured the FP
AO before the main body arrives. Upon arrival of the QM FP Company
main body, the FP module(s) may or may not have reached the AO.
Preparations should immediately begin to occupy the operational area
and plan a reinforced defense. The commander and platoon leaders
should perform terrain analysis and plan a defense against air, ground,
and NBC attack which integrates the support of available resources
including those of the visiting tenant units.

SECTION IV – FP MODULE SETUP

TRANSPORTATION TO THEATER
5-49. A FP module consists of about 67,000 cubic feet of containerized
material which will require movement from a seaport and/or airport of
debarkation to the FP AO. Transportation of the module(s) will be
arranged by AMC and is not a responsibility of the QM FP Company.
AMC will maintain ownership of the module(s) until the commander of
the QM FP Company takes hand receipt at the operating site. The
module(s) may be transported from the port(s) of debarkation to the AO
by means of air, rail, or linehaul. Table 5-4 contains the shipping
requirements for a standard FP module.
5-50. Cold weather kits and camouflage materials are not part of the
standard supplies included with a FP module and must be requested
separately. Every effort should be made to identify the required
configuration of each FP module to reduce delays, and reduce
transportation burdens and cost.

5-13
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

MODULE SETUP
5-51. After the QM FP Company has occupied the area, and planned and
reinforced the FP AO defense, they should now set up the company
command post and erect operator billeting. This will give the company a
central area for command and control and a place to live and stow
personal gear. Remaining module subsystems should be erected in a
logical sequence based on use of manpower and equipment. Subsystems
such as power distribution, water distribution and storage, and
graywater collection are required for the proper operation of other
subsystems. Consider the importance of these subsystems when you
determine the use of available resources in the set-up process. ARTEP
42-424-30-MTP contains crew drills which give detailed setup
instructions for all subsystems. Technical manuals for these subsystems
and components also give setup information.

Table 5-4. Shipping Estimates for Air, Rail, and Linehaul Modes

Linehaul M872 w/trailer (40-ft) 34

M915 w/trailer (40-ft) 27
M35A2 (2 ½-ton) 3627

5-52. Setup of a standard FP module will take 63 personnel about 120

hours to complete. Set-up time will vary based on site conditions,
weather conditions and module configuration. If available, more
personnel may be used to expedite the set-up process. These personnel
may be military or civilian and will not normally possess expertise in
module setup. These individuals may be best used conducting repetitive,
labor intensive tasks such as erecting billeting TEMPERS. If host nation
civilians are used, closely supervise to prevent pilferage and theft and
maintain security.
5-53. Availability of critical resources such as the 4K and 10K forklifts
will affect set-up time. Use these resources to set up priority
subsystems. Follow the staking plan. This will also help to minimize set-
up time by preventing the need to relocate subsystem components.
5-54. During setup, the contents of all TRICONs and ISOs should be
inventoried using the packing list inside each container. Items and

5-14
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

equipment should also be checked for serviceability. Unserviceable

items should be tagged. Shortages or damage should be reported to
company headquarters so replacements can be procured as quickly as
possible. All packing material and dunage should be saved and stored in
unused TRICONs for redeployment.
5-55. The appropriate defensive posture should be maintained
throughout the set-up process. During setup, the commander and other
leaders should set up the previously planned unit defense, employ
physical security and operations security measures, plan for and
maintain preparations for NBC conditions, and plan damage control
operations. These preparations and measures should take all available
resources into consideration including those of visiting tenant units.

SECTION V – REDEPLOYMENT OF FP

IN COUNTRY REDEPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES

5-56. When the order is received to redeploy FP, the QM FP Company
commander will start redeployment activities. Redeployment personnel
and administration activities are performed and redeployment training
activities are undertaken. Company supply activities are to turn in
excess items and resupply the company for movement to the home
station. Maintenance actions are started to prepare the company’s
organic vehicles and equipment for movement to home station. At the
same time, the company begins preparing the FP subsystems for
dismantlement and redeployment.

REDEPLOYMENT OF THE FP MODULE

5-57. A FP module cannot be relocated and will be returned to a CONUS
depot for refurbishment following each deployment. The company
commander must clear hand receipt of the module to AMC, so it is
important that care be taken to redeploy all module components in the
best possible condition. Before each subsystem is dismantled, you should
ensure each subsystem is free of excess dirt and debris to facilitate later
packing. Subsystems with potable water, graywater, or blackwater
systems should be flushed with highly chlorinated water and then
flushed with potable water to sanitize the systems. Before disassembly,
all components should be checked for serviceability. Unserviceable
components should be tagged for easy identification during
refurbishment. Tagged equipment should be documented and turned in
to company headquarters to facilitate the clearing of hand receipt. On
occasion, administrative storage may be all that is required of the
module. Procedures for this term of storage can be found in TM 746-10.
5-58. During dismantlement, components containing water should be
drained and air dried to prevent corrosion or possible freezing. Fuel
should be drained from all components containing fuel and allowed to
air dry to prevent potential fire hazards. Once dismantled, the
components of each subsystem should be thoroughly cleaned before

5-15
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

packing. Each item should be returned to the TRICON or ISO that it

was originally IAW the packing list inside each container. Shortages or
missing items should be documented and passed to company
headquarters to facilitate clearing of hand receipt. ARTEP 42-424-30-
MTP contains crew drills that provide detailed dismantling instructions
for all of the subsystems. Technical manuals for these subsystems and
components also provide dismantling information.
5-59. Hand-off of the FP module to AMC will occur at the site and AMC
will arrange transportation for the module back to CONUS. This
relieves the unit of the responsibility of tracking the equipment back
through various intermediate locations and to its ultimate destination.
Coordination should be made with AMC, as soon as possible, to facilitate
handover and the clearing of hand receipt for the module(s).

SITE RESTORATION
5-60. Every attempt should be made to restore the operating site to its
original condition. Locally constructed items such as floors and
sidewalks should be dismantled and properly disposed of in theater. If
needed, some of these materials may be used as bracing or dunnage
inside shipping containers. Vegetation can not be restored to its original
condition, but some revegetation activities may be feasible. Hazardous
waste such as fuel, lubricants, graywater, or blackwater should be
removed IAW current directives, host nation environment, and storage
sites inspected for potential contamination. The environmental baseline
survey should be used along with the conventional survey to determine
the exact condition of the site and the landscape before its use.
Returning the site to its previous condition is the main goal of site
restoration.

MOVEMENT TO HOME STATION

5-61. Once the FP module(s) has cleared hand receipt and the site has
been appropriately restored, the QM FP Company begins a tactical road
march to the port(s) of embarkation. The tactical road march may or
may not be done in concert with other units. The road march should be
planned to take advantage of available resources and a security posture
appropriate to the threat identified be maintained throughout the
march. Upon arrival at the port(s) of embarkation, company personnel
and equipment should be prepared for movement back to CONUS.
5-62. Upon arrival at the port(s) of debarkation in CONUS, movement of
the main body of the QM FP Company to home station will take place by
nontactical road march to home station. The nontactical road march will
be done using organic vehicles to move company personnel and organic
equipment. Upon arrival at home station, the commander starts home
station activities to turn in excess or loaned equipment and supplies,
inventory organic equipment, debrief company personnel, and complete
after action reports.

5-16
 Chapter 6

FP Operational Procedures
SECTION I – QM FP COMPANY SECTION OPERATIONS

QM FP COMPANY HEADQUARTERS
6-1. The QM FP Company will be under the command and control of the
TAACOM or COSCOM. Divisional and nondivisional elements wanting
FP support will send requests through command channels to the
DISCOM Support Operations Branch which will be responsible for
work-loading the FP. Priority will be given to divisional elements.
Nondivisional elements will be supported on a space available-basis. FP
support to civil authorities for disaster relief and humanitarian aid will
be accomplished IAW FM 100-19. Support for peacekeeping missions
will be IAW FM 100-23.
6-2. The QM FP Company Headquarters provides overall command and
control, training, administration, and logistical support required to
conduct FP support. The Company Headquarters staff can coordinate
the operations of one to six FP platoons and modules. The Company HQ
maintains communication with the next higher headquarters; provides
direct supervision to the support operations and unit maintenance
sections; tasks the platoon leaders of the FP modules; directs the
planning, setup, and continuous improvement of unit defenses; and
maintains responsibility for the unit’s training, safety and
environmental protection programs.
6-3. To ensure appropriate accountability for module equipment, the
commander should inventory and inspect the serviceability of all
equipment during setup of the module. Missing, damaged, or
unserviceable equipment should be documented and kept on file
awaiting report of survey and redeployment of the module to AMC for
refurbishment. As equipment becomes damaged or unserviceable during
operations, it should be reported and documented so an up-to-date
status of all module equipment can be kept. ARs 735-5 and 735-11 give
guidance for maintaining property accountability.
6-4. As a critical part of the redeployment process, the commander must
clear the hand receipt of all module equipment back to AMC. AMC will
arrange transportation for the module from the operating site to a
CONUS depot for refurbishment. To clear a hand receipt, a report of
survey will be done. The commander will be held responsible for
equipment and items which can not be properly accounted for. To
facilitate clearing of a hand receipt, the commander should ensure that
all module equipment is thoroughly cleaned before it is packed.

6-1
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

All equipment should be inspected for serviceability. Unserviceable

equipment should be tagged with a description of the damage or
malfunction before they are packed. All module equipment should be
inventoried and returned to the original container using the packing list
and instructions in the panel of each container’s door. All missing,
damaged, or unserviceable equipment should be reported and
documented. This documentation can then be used to simplify the report
of survey and to facilitate the clearing of hand receipt for the module
back to AMC.

SUPPORT OPERATIONS SECTION

6-5. The Support Operations Section exercises staff supervision over the
supply, maintenance, and field service support operations and advises
the commander in these functional areas. The section also provides the
coordination and management of all contracting and engineering
support operations.
6-6. The purchasing/contracting officer manages the purchase of all
military or local items required by the FP Company in conjunction with
the platoon leaders. FP may also contract for some degree of support or
operations to do the mission. The purchasing/contracting officer
coordinates with the MACOM in the review of options for each
dependency and determines whether military resources or contract
support is the most appropriate and cost effective alternative. The
purchasing/contracting officer should ensure that FP needs are detailed
and thoroughly stated in the contract documents. If contract
administration is handled at a higher level, the purchasing/contracting
officer should still ensure that the needs of FP are met.
6-7. The general engineering officer plans and coordinates the site setup
of FP. He also supervises all engineering functions for each FP module.
The general engineering officer will need to be a FP expert and will
oversee critical elements of FP setup and operation. He coordinates
and/or manages the proper storage and disposal of graywater and
blackwater waste. FMs 5-104, 5-114, and 5-116 provide guidance in
performing engineering functions.
6-8. The Operations NCO monitors and supervises section operations
and advises the Company HQ on tasks involving FP operations and
procedures. The laundry NCO coordinates all laundry, clothing, and
shower functions including administrative functions. He reports to and
advises the operations NCO. The preventive medicine NCO and
specialist coordinate medical support and conduct water and other
environmental tests. These soldiers advise the operations NCO about
the sanitary status of laundry, shower, latrine, water distribution and
storage, and food service operations. They also advise company
personnel when sanitary or health conditions are inadequate.

6-2
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

UNIT MAINTENANCE SECTION AND PLATOON MAINTENANCE TEAM

6-9. The unit maintenance section provides unit level maintenance on
all organic equipment except COMSEC and communications-electronics
equipment. One platoon maintenance team will reinforce the unit
maintenance section for each FP module assigned to the company. The
platoon maintenance team provides unit level maintenance for the
platoon’s equipment including the FP module itself with the exception of
COMSEC and communications-electronic equipment.

FP PLATOON HEADQUARTERS
6-10. The FP Platoon Headquarters provides basic command and
control, training, administration, and logistical support for the
operations of one FP module under the direction of the QM FP Company
Commander. The platoon headquarters will also supervise billeting,
and tenant unit in-processing and out-processing functions. Each
module comes with a SSP (Appendix C) which contains spare and repair
parts to sustain operations for about 30 days. Once operations have
begun, it will be necessary to make arrangements within the theater for
DS and GS maintenance of equipment and for resupply of operator and
unit level spare and repair parts and material.
6-11. The day-to-day operation of FP will depend on METT-T. The
tenant units and FP platoon will communicate daily regarding plans
and routines of the day. FP should be made aware of any special
routines or activities planned by the tenant units. Likewise, the tenant
unit should be made aware of the daily schedule of services and
equipment available.
6-12. Soldiers arriving at FP will maintain unit integrity. A
representative from the platoon headquarters will meet with incoming
tenant unit representatives to conduct a briefing concerning camp
operations, camp policies, and tenant unit responsibilities. Tenant unit
responsibilities are discussed in Section II of this Chapter. A sample in-
process brief template is available at Appendix F. Ensure that the in-
processing brief covers the following policies:

• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Guest
• Gender Separation
• Quiet Time
• Vehicle Parking
• Other Policies concerning conduct while in the FP compound
• Check Out
6-13. Before a tenant unit occupies a billeting TEMPER, representatives
from both the incoming tenant unit and the FP unit conduct a walk-
through inspection of the facilities to determine the condition of the
TEMPERs and other areas the tenant will occupy. Any and all
discrepancies shall be documented and kept on file. The commander of

6-3
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

the tenant unit will make billeting assignments. Tenant unit soldiers
will clean and take care of their billeting area and designated areas of
the FP camp. FP personnel should ensure that each billet TEMPER
remains stocked with the requisite cleaning supplies and that a copy of
the camp rules, service schedule, and no smoking notice is posted inside
each billeting TEMPER. At least one FP soldier should be assigned to
help tenant units in the resolution of billeting-related issues.
6-14. Before departure, the tenant unit should police the billeting
TEMPERs and their designated area. A representative of the tenant
unit and the FP platoon will conduct a walk-through inspection and
record all discrepancies. Any discrepancies not already recorded on the
in-processing walk-through inspection document should be assessed.
The tenant unit commander should be held accountable for repairs or
the cost of repairs. Excessive damage caused by negligence or a lack of
discipline should be investigated and punitive action taken as needed. A
representative of the tenant unit should also check out with MWR and
the laundry section. A tenant unit should not be cleared for departure
until all MWR equipment checked out by unit personnel has been
accounted for and until all unit personnel laundry has been returned. It
is recommended that platoon headquarters develop inspection
documents and check out forms to facilitate out-processing.

FACILITIES SUPPORT SECTION

6-15. Facilities Support Section personnel operate and maintain the FP
power generation when the organic FP TQG are to be used. When in
use, the TQGs will be clustered in groups of three. Operations within
each cluster will be rotated every seven hours on a two-on and one-off
schedule. This rotation will allow preventive and corrective maintenance
to be performed without loss of power to subsystems. A simple switching
network is designed into each TQG cluster to facilitate this rotation. If
commercial or prime power is used, TQGs should be arranged to provide
backup power if an outage, overload, attack, or sabotage occurs.
6-16. The facilities maintenance personnel also maintain climate control
equipment such as the environmental control units and ASH heaters;
refrigeration units for the 600-cubic-foot prefabricated refrigerators;
electrical subsystems and equipment; and the repair of pipes, plumbing
fixtures, and equipment. All preventive maintenance should be
performed IAW the appropriate technical manuals. A schedule should
be maintained by the section leader for performing all applicable
preventive maintenance checks.
6-17. Section personnel conduct routine inspections and PMCS of
assigned equipment. Facilities support personnel also work with other
sections to assist in keeping FP subsystems fully operational. All
malfunctions or problems should be documented so a detailed
equipment history can be kept for each item. This helps future
engineering improvements and provides valuable lessons learned which
reduces repair time. A representative of the section should be on duty at
all times to respond to malfunctions or problems which may occur.

6-4
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

6-18. Prime Power Team. When FP is operating using commercial or

prime power, a utilities team (TOE 05530LH00) or an engineer prime
power battalion (TOE 05610L000) will be attached to FP. Members of
each FP platoon’s facilities support section should work closely with the
attached element. They should assist and coordinate to maintain
uninterrupted electrical service to each module.

FOOD SERVICE SECTION

6-19. The food service section sets up, operates, performs preventive
maintenance, and dismantles the food service subsystem. It also
provides three cook-prepared meals per day to tenants, attached
personnel, and FP personnel. The FP food service subsystem is
comparable to a standard garrison kitchen and uses only electrical
appliances. Many of the same guidelines given in FM 10-23 can be
applied to the operation of the food service subsystem.
6-20. The 96-foot dining TEMPER may seat 120 soldiers at a time.
During peak occupancy, it will be necessary to rotate the meal times of
all personnel and serve each meal over a minimum of a two-hour period.
Meal schedules can be designed to rotate times by section, detachment,
or tenant unit dependent on occupancy. Meal schedules should be
briefed during in-processing and posted inside each billeting TEMPER.
The food service subsystem is cleaned by the food service section and
any assigned tenant unit personnel. Soldiers using the dining facility
should be required to police their area upon completion of their meal,
dispose of uneaten food or refuse in designated containers, and return
utensils to the designated area. After completion of the evening meal
and a thorough cleaning, the food service dining TEMPER may be used
as a convenient location for MWR personnel to show movies or for other
large group activities.
6-21. Food service personnel will maintain sanitary conditions at all
times. The food service section leader and designated leaders will do
routine inspections to ensure all food service personnel and KP
personnel are maintaining proper sanitary conditions. FM 21-10
provides specific guidance on field sanitation. Video TVT-10-110
provides specific information of food service sanitation in garrison and
field conditions. The preventive medicine NCO will also conduct periodic
inspections and tests to ensure food is prepared under sanitary
conditions. Sanitary conditions in the food service facilities and
operations will be IAW TB MED 530.
6-22. The graywater collection system for the food service subsystem
contains an in-line grease trap. Grease collected in the grease trap is
contaminated with graywater and is considered hazardous waste. Food
service personnel should routinely monitor the grease trap. Grease must
be periodically removed and disposed of as hazardous waste by food
service personnel. Care should be taken when removing the hazardous
waste from the grease trap to prevent personal injury or damage to the
environment. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be
used. Spills or leaks should be contained and cleaned up. Grease

6-5
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

awaiting proper disposal should be stored in approved containers and

labeled as hazardous waste.

LAUNDRY AND SHOWER SECTION

6-23. The laundry and shower section personnel are responsible for the
setup, operation, preventive maintenance, and dismantlement of the
containerized latrine, containerized batch laundry, and 12-head shower
subsystems. The laundry and shower section provides services which
allow each soldier one shower per day, unlimited use of the
containerized latrine, and one washing of 15 pounds of laundry per
three-day period.
6-24. FP uses one CBL that uses two-high capacity commercial
washer/extractors and two commercial dryers. The entire CBL
subsystem may be operated by one laundry and shower specialist with
additional personnel available during designated hours to receive,
process, and reissue laundry. Many of the same guidelines outlined in
FM 42-414 can be applied to the operations of the FP containerized
batch laundry subsystem.
6-25. The laundry and shower section has the capability to clean 15
pounds of laundry for each soldier per three-day period at maximum
occupancy with a 24-hour turnaround time. All clothing items, sleeping
bags, and sleeping linen are included in a soldier's 15 pounds of laundry.
Time must be scheduled for shower towels and food service linens.
Operators should periodically monitor the fuel level for the M80 water
heater. They should notify the petroleum distribution section when the
fuel level reaches 1/3 or less capacity. During less than maximum
utilization, laundry and shower section personnel may provide expanded
laundry services if needed.
6-26. Only one containerized batch laundry subsystem is used per FP
module. It is critical to conduct routine preventive maintenance and to
allow time for more complex preventive maintenance procedures. For
the smooth operation of the CBL, a schedule for turn in, processing, and
return of laundry should be developed, briefed during in-processing, and
posted inside each billeting TEMPER.
6-27. The containerized batch laundry produces graywater, which is
considered hazardous waste. Personnel must wear appropriate personal
protective equipment when working with items contaminated with
graywater; spills or leaks should be contained and cleaned up, and
graywater awaiting proper disposal should be stored in approved
containers and labeled as hazardous waste.
6-28. FP is equipped with four 12-head field shower assemblies. When in
operation, each soldier can take one shower per day. Designated laundry
and shower section personnel will attend to each shower. These
personnel must ensure that towels and soap are available and that
facilities are safe, sanitary, and in good working order. Laundry and
shower section personnel will clean and sanitize each shower facility
daily and as needed, preferably without interfering with scheduled

6-6
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

operations. Operators should periodically monitor the fuel level for the
M80 water heater. They must notify the petroleum distribution section
when the fuel level reaches 1/3 or less capacity.
6-29. Shower schedules should be made to allow for gender separation,
maximum use, time for preventive maintenance, and cleaning. Gender
separation should be done by scheduling an amount of time for each
gender equivalent to that gender's population within the camp. Times
set for each gender should be made throughout the 24-hour period. This
schedule should be briefed during in-processing and should be posted in
all billeting TEMPERS.
6-30. The shower subsystem produces graywater, which is considered
hazardous waste. Personnel must wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when working with items contaminated with graywater,
spills or leaks should be contained and cleaned up, and graywater
awaiting proper disposal should be stored in approved containers and
labeled as hazardous waste.
6-31. FP uses four CLs. Laundry and shower section personnel must
keep supplies of toilet paper and soap in the latrines, as well as keep the
latrines clean. The level of the waste in the blackwater holding tank
should be routinely monitored. The laundry and shower section leader
should be notified to evacuate the tank once the tank is no more than ¾
full. The general engineering officer assigned to the company’s support
operations section is responsible for coordinating and supervising the
disposal of blackwater. Included in the FP module is a WWVT/T to
remove blackwater from the latrine's internal holding tank.
6-32. The containerized latrine produces blackwater, which is considered
hazardous waste. Personnel must wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when working with items contaminated with blackwater,
spills or leaks should be contained and cleaned up, and blackwater
awaiting proper disposal should be stored in approved containers and
labeled as hazardous waste.
6-33. Each latrine unit should be visited by a Preventive Medicine NCO
daily to ensure it is safe, sanitary, and free of insects. If sanitary
services are contracted, the Preventive Medicine NCO should be
involved in the process to ensure that a desired standard of cleanliness
is maintained.
6-34. Latrines may not be used by both genders at the same time. With
four operational latrines, latrines may be designated in 25 percent
increments, which most closely represent camp population. If this is not
sufficient to adequately represent camp population, a “flip sign” may be
used so both genders may use the same latrine. Gender designation of
latrines should be included in the in-processing brief and signs showing
gender designation should be clearly posted on the outside of each
latrine. If host nation personnel will be using the latrines, signs should
be posted in the host nation language.
6-35. Feminine hygiene products may not be disposed of in latrine
toilets. Signs showing this should be posted in latrines designated for

6-7
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

female use. Appropriate waste receptacles must be provided for disposal

of these items. The final disposal of these items must be made as
appropriate for the AO.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SECTION

6-36. FP uses 20,000-gallon fabric storage tanks coupled with an
expansion tank, which maintains positive pressure and automatically
operates an electric pump in response to demand. Hypochlorination is
done during the filling of the tank and through recirculation of water
through an intake/out-take loop, which can be opened or closed to
recirculate water through the storage tank. Potable water distribution
and storage for FP should be done using the guidance in FM 10-52.
Other guidance on water supply, purification, testing, transportation,
distribution, and storage can be found in FMs 10-52-1, 10-115, and 55-
50.
6-37. The water source for FP can be a QM Water Supply Company
(TOE 10469L000), through the use of an approved host nation
commercial water system; through contractor delivery from an approved
water source; or through on-site wells constructed by an engineering
detachment (TOE 05520LE00). All potable water to be used as a source
for the FP water distribution and storage system must be tested and
certified by the Preventive Medicine NCO from the FP Company
support operations section. Source and potable water for FP use will
meet the standards in TB MED 577.
6-38. Two water distribution section personnel should be available for
duty at all times while potable water storage and distribution sites are
in operation. The primary responsibility of these personnel is to
maintain proper chlorination levels within each water storage and
distribution system, monitor water usage, receive water deliveries from
a certified source, conduct water analysis testing, perform preventive
maintenance on water storage and distribution equipment, and
complete water reports, logs, and forms. Water distribution section
personnel will also operate water supply points for the issue of water
into the water tank trailers and into other approved containers.
6-39. Security of the water storage and distribution sites should be
maintained to prevent the possibility of water source tampering or
sabotage. These sites should be a regular part of the patrol of security
personnel.

PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTION SECTION

6-40. FP has the capacity to store 40,000 gallons of JP-8/diesel and 500
gallons of MOGAS. FP uses typical FARE for JP-8 and MOGAS bulk
fuel operations. Petroleum storage and distribution operations should be
conducted using guidance from FM 10-67-1 and MIL-HDBK-200. Bulk
fuel for the resupply of FP may be received through general or direct
military support or from a certified host nation source. All source fuel
used for resupply of the FP petroleum distribution and storage system
must be tested and certified by qualified petroleum distribution section

6-8
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

personnel and meet standards outlined in FM 10-67-1 and MIL-HDBK-

200.
6-41. Two petroleum distribution section personnel should be available
for duty at all times while the bulk fuel storage and distribution sites
are in operation. The primary responsibilities of these personnel are to:
• Monitor bulk fuel usage
• Receive bulk fuel deliveries from a certified source
• Conduct petroleum product analysis and testing
• Issue bulk fuel to vehicles and into approved containers
• Perform preventive maintenance on bulk fuel storage and
distribution equipment
• Complete bulk fuel reports, logs, and forms.
6-42. Petroleum distribution section personnel should ensure that the
bulk fuel distribution and storage system is properly grounded and that
all vehicles and containers are properly grounded during fuel issue or
delivery. All bulk fuel distribution and storage sites should be
designated as no smoking areas and signs should be posted in English
and the host nation language. Fire fighting equipment should be
conveniently available to the site and a fire extinguisher should always
be within easy access during issue and delivery operations. Petroleum
products are also considered hazardous waste and a hazard to the
environment and to personnel. All leaks should be contained and
cleaned up immediately. Personnel should use appropriate personal
protective equipment and avoid direct contact with petroleum products.
6-43. Security of the petroleum storage and distribution sites should be
maintained to prevent the possibility of tampering or sabotage. These
sites should be a regular part of the patrol of security personnel.
6-44. The largest consumer of bulk fuel will be the tactical quiet
generators when they are used to provide electrical power. Each
generator cluster will employ a 500-gallon collapsible fabric fuel drum to
supplement the generator's internal fuel tanks. During normal
operations, these fuel drums will require refueling about every three
days. Refueling of these drums can be done by tanker delivery via the
camp’s perimeter roadway. Petroleum distribution personnel are also
responsible for the setup, operation, preventive maintenance, and
dismantlement of these fuel drums. Section personnel should do routine
inspections of these drums to ensure proper operation and
environmental protection.
6-45. MOGAS is only required in small quantities for operation of the
chillers for the potable water tank trailer. Unless otherwise directed, all
bulk fuel stores are for FP vehicle and equipment operation and are not
to be distributed to tenant units.

6-9
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

ADMINISTRATIVE, CHAPLAIN, MEDICAL, AND MWR FACILITIES

6-46. Administrative, chaplain, medical, and MWR services will be
provided by attached personnel from the MACOM, tenant unit
personnel, and detachments from other units using TEMPERs. Specific
equipment is provided by FP as part of each module. To provide effective
services to tenant units, the following considerations should be made
when setting up these facilities:
• Make every effort to provide private spaces within the
administrative TEMPERs for the discussion of legal, finance, and
personal matters, religious counseling, and medical attention.
• Determine the mission, weather, and the needs of the tenant units
when planning the setup of MWR fields and the types and
quantities of MWR equipment to make available.
• Set up a secure area for the storage of AAFES items. A TRICON
may be made available for the storage of AAFES goods and
security patrols or watches may be necessary. If AAFES provides
telephone and/or ATM, equipment should be located in a visible
and well-lighted area to increase personnel safety and security.
6-47. Availability of these services should be included in the in-
processing brief delivered to each tenant unit. Signs should be posted
inside each billeting TEMPER showing service schedules for all
appropriate services.

GRAYWATER COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL

6-48. Graywater disposal may be performed using an approved host
nation sewage system, if available. If not available, each FP module is
supplied with a graywater collection system that can store about 40,000
gallons of wastewater. Once collected in the graywater collection system,
wastewater may be hauled to an approved disposal site or disposed of
via field expedient method. Graywater is considered hazardous waste.
It should only be disposed of IAW appropriate environmental
regulations and directives.
6-49. Expertise exists within the QM FP Company to setup, operate,
maintain, and dismantle the graywater collection system. The general
engineering officer in FP Company support operations section is
responsible for disposing of the graywater. The general engineering
officer and the preventive medicine NCO should monitor graywater
collection and disposal operations to ensure environmentally safe and
sanitary disposal.

BLACKWATER DISPOSAL
6-50. Wastewater collected in the holding tanks of the containerized
latrines is called blackwater. It is considered hazardous waste, which is
a danger to the environment and to personnel. Care must be taken
when disposing of blackwater. Blackwater may be collected from the
latrines and disposed of through an approved host nation sewage
system, may be hauled to a approved disposal site by military personnel

6-10
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

or civilian contractor, or disposed of using the field expedient method. A

WWVT/T is provided as part of each FP module and may be used to
collect and properly dispose of blackwater. The general engineering
officer in the FP Company support operations section is responsible for
disposing of the blackwater disposal. The general engineering officer
and the preventive medicine NCO should monitor blackwater collection
and disposal operations to ensure environmentally safe and sanitary
disposal.

SECTION II – TENANT RESPONSIBILITIES

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TENANT UNITS

6-51. Supported units must clean billeting TEMPERs and the grounds
in and around the area assigned. Tenant unit commanders are held
accountable for damages or loss imposed by improper or inappropriate
use FP facilities by their personnel. Requests for tenant unit assistance
or any issues requiring a decision should be sent through the tenant
unit chain of command via the FP Company and/or platoon
headquarters.
6-52. Tenant units are responsible for their organic equipment and the
logistical support required to refit the unit. The QM FP Company
commander may also assign tenant units more responsibilities as
appropriate during their stay. The following are responsibilities of the
tenant unit or are appropriate additional duties which may be assigned:
• Weapons and Ammunition Storage. The tenant unit must store all
weapons and ammunition. If appropriate to the unit’s METT-T,
the QM FP Company commander may allocate a TRICON to be
used to store the tenant units weapons and ammunition. The
tenant unit will continue to be responsible and accountable for the
security of their weapons once stored. It may not be safe to store
certain types of ammunition in TRICONs during severely hot
weather conditions.
• Organic Equipment Maintenance and Security. The tenant unit must
maintain and secure their organic equipment. The QM FP
Company gives the tenant unit an area for parking and
maintaining their organic vehicles. The unit is also given ample
space for the storage of other types of organic equipment. Also
report and assists in any hazardous waste spills incurred during
maintenance activities.
• Logistical Support. Tenant units maintain their own logistics
relationships. Unless otherwise ordered, they will not receive
supplies of fuel, water, ammunition, or food, other than prepared
meals, from FP stores. Unless otherwise staffed, configured, and
equipped, FP will not replenish or refit the unit.
• Defense. The QM FP Company can defend against a Level I threat.
Threat levels II or III require the assistance of the tenant units
and/or other theater assets. During in-processing and as

6-11
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

necessary, tenant units should be informed of their responsibilities

for defense of the FP AO and held accountable for the performance
of those tasks.
• Police Call. Each day after the morning meal, a police call should
be held to allow all soldiers to police their billets and designated
areas. All refuse or unauthorized items should be picked up and
placed into designated containers for disposal. All containers
should then be emptied or staged at the designated location for
pickup. Soldiers will also conduct a general inspection of their
designated billeting TEMPERs. They must ensure guy ropes and
stakes are secure and that no damage to the TEMPER or
conditions which may potential cause damage to the TEMPER
exist. Any damage identified that can not be effectively repaired
should be reported to platoon headquarters.
• Coordination with FP Platoon Headquarters. The tenant unit
commander must keep the FP Company and/or platoon
headquarters informed of the unit’s actions. A daily briefing
should be arranged to allow the tenant unit commander to inform
FP Headquarters of their intended activities, to allow FP
personnel to communicate any new taskings or information and to
resolve issues that may rise.

ATTACHED UNITS
6-53. Dependent upon the mission and configuration, detachments from
other units may be required. MWR, medical, and chaplain personnel are
not assigned to the QM FP Company and will be assigned as needed to
support operations. If the tactical generators are used to provide
primary power, a prime power team may also be detached to support
operations. Supporting unit personnel will be afforded access to all FP
life support functions with the exception of billeting. Living quarters
and/or shelter will be the responsibility of the company detailing the
detachment. If more convenient and available, the FP Company may
accommodate the billeting needs of the detachments. FP will maintain
the structures used by these detachments and the detached personnel
will maintain the cleanliness and appearance of the structure and the
assigned area.

SECTION III – COMMUNICATIONS

ASSETS
6-54. Communications help to support unit missions, to carry out
administrative duties, to maintain contact with higher headquarters, to
transmit tactical information, and to defend the unit. The commander
must set up communications with all elements. Communications help
may be needed in setting up an adequate system. Assistance can
typically be obtained from the COSCOM or EAC in which the unit is
operating. See Figure 6-1 for a typical wire communications diagram

6-12
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

with FP authorized equipment.

6-55. The QM FP Company has the organic communications equipment
required to do the mission. Authorized communications equipment
includes the AN/VRC 87/88/90-series radios and wire telephone
communications with switchboard maintained at the QM FP Company
headquarters. Automated data transfer via computer modem and data
facsimile capabilities is also available.
6-56. There are many different communications methods. The
commander should use those that offer maximum reliability, flexibility,
security, and speed with a minimum of effort and material. He should
not depend on one method but should use methods that complement
each other. Signal equipment can be damaged by electromagnetic pulse.
Alternative means of communication should always be available in the
event of nuclear warfare. FM 24-1 gives more guidance.

Figure 6-1. Sample FP Wire Communications Diagram

6-57. Wire systems use field wire and cable, telephones, and a
switchboard to provide person-to-person conversations. The company
headquarters uses this system to provide internal communications 24
hours a day. TC 24-20 gives information on field wire activities and the
general characteristics of equipment used with field wire systems.
6-58. Radio is one of the most versatile methods of communication.
Since it is wireless, it can operate while the unit is mobile and can
handle large volumes of traffic. Radio is the commander’s main method
of communications with unit elements too far away for contact by local
telephone. However, radio is the least secure method of communication
and is subject to jamming, interception, deception, and interference.
Radio can be severely damaged by electromagnetic pulse resulting from
a nuclear detonation. During the blackout following detonation, radio
transmission will be impossible. For more information see FMs 24-18

6-13
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

and 25-50.
6-59. Automation involves methods of sending, receiving, processing, or
storing of information by an automated capability, such as a computer.
An automated capability can process large volumes of information. It
can also provide real-time delivery of send and receive data. Automation
is easily secured and provides speed, accuracy, improved text and video
display, and programmable output and formats. Automated systems
require a manual backup system. They are susceptible to
electromagnetic pulse, power fluctuations, induced viruses, and
magnetic disturbance.
6-60. The manual method consists of sending, receiving, and storing
documents by physical capabilities, without using electronic means. This
method includes using messengers and a manual record management
system. The method is reliable and flexible. It uses assets found in every
unit. It is also the most secure means available. The records
Management system provides backup for data storage. However, the
method requires a large amount of space and is manpower intensive.
The messenger is subject to enemy interception as well as constraints of
weather, terrain, and time.
6-61. Visual sounds and signals are used to send messages over short
distances. These signals are most useful during periods of radio silence.
They are used as alarms or warnings, especially of enemy attack, or as a
means of sending prearranged messages. Messages transmitted by
visual or sound signals are easily misunderstood; therefore, they must
be taken in the selection of the means and the message to be conveyed.
Message transmitted by this means should be few, prearranged, and
simple. Visual signals include road signs, flags, lights, panels, arm and
hand, and pyrotechnics. Sound signals include horns, bells, whistles,
weapon fire, and sirens. FMs 3-4, 5-36, 21-60, 21-305, 23-30, and 55-312
provide information and guidance on conducting sound and visual
signals.

COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY
6-62. Communications security consists of measures to keep
unauthorized persons from getting information from the
communications system. Personnel should understand and observe
COMSEC measures given in AR 380-40. Two measures that should
always be used are transmission security and physical security.
6-63. All transmissions are governed by the SOI. SOI is a series of
orders issued for technical control and coordination of signal support
activities for a command. As a rule, the commander receives only an
extract of an SOI; the part needed to manage the unit’s nets. Among
other things, the SOI may provide a list of EEFI that must not be
transmitted. Operations will have a copy of this list. They should
monitor transmissions to see if information on the list is being passed.
Other ways for making transmissions more secure are:

• Choose a means of communication according to the urgency of the

6-14
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

situation.
• Transmit only when necessary.
• Use low transmitting power when possible.
• Be wary if a radio station’s signal strength suddenly changes.
• Plan the message and keep it short as possible.
• Cut out unnecessary talk and maintain communications silence as
much as possible.
• Use only authorized codes and ciphers.
• Avoid identifying yourself or others.
• Demand authentication and do not talk to anyone who will not
authenticate.
6-64. Operators should be impressed with the need to protect
communications equipment from abuse, damage, or capture. They
should guard against giving the location of equipment. Phone wires
should be put inside the defensive perimeter and along frequently
traveled routes. Burying wires and cables whenever possible will protect
them against electromagnetic pulse. Proper grounding will also protect
electronic equipment during nuclear attack. Radios should be put in
well-defended locations. Operators should move transmitters frequently.
The commander should be sure to rotate operators so that an enemy will
not connect an operator with a specific unit or operation.

UNWANTED SIGNALS
6-56. Radio reception may be hindered, confused, or prevented by
unwanted signals. These signals may be unintentional or intentional.
Unwanted signals should be reported according to SOI supplemental
instructions. Before reporting an unwanted signal, the operator should
disconnect the receiving antenna to determine whether or not the signal
is from an outside source. The operator should follow procedures in FM
24-33 to determine the nature of the unwanted signal.
6-66. Unintentional Signals. Electromagnetic signals caused by sources
other than the enemy may interfere with radio reception. These sources
include friendly radio signal, faulty electrical components, weather
conditions, and nearby generators. This type of unwanted signal is
caused by interference.
6-67. Intentional Signals. Electronic devices provide ways for the enemy to
operate against the unit in combat situations. Through electronic
warfare, the enemy attempts to monitor and break up unit
communications. The intentional unwanted signals most often
encountered include deception, jamming, and squelch capture.
6-68. An operator who suspects interference should notify the
commander immediately. The operator should make a report according
to SOI supplemental instructions and in the format shown in FM 24-1.
The report should be made whether or not the operator is successful in
working through the interference. After reviewing the report, the

6-15
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

commander sends it to higher headquarters as required by the SOI.

SECTION IV – DEFENSE

COMMANDER RESPONSIBILITIES
6-69. A FP commander is responsible for the internal defense of the
modules and associated operating areas. The object is to form a base
defense perimeter to defend against enemy attack. The commander
prepares, plans, and supervises an internal defense that ensures the
protection of personnel, equipment, and resources from enemy attack.
6-70. The unit must be able to protect itself against a Level I enemy
incursion. Because the unit is not trained or equipped to conduct
sustained defense against Level II and Level III attacks, it will require
augmentation by tenant units and other theater assets to defend at
these levels. See Table 6-1 for levels of enemy threat activity. History
has shown that the massing of troops provides a convenient enemy
target. Transportation routes and personnel delivering soldiers,
equipment, and supplies to and from FP may also be at risk of attack.
Terrorist-style attacks and the mining of lines of communication are
also potential threats which require careful consideration in the setup of
an effective defense. All units and/or detachments within the FP
compound will maintain the defensive readiness posture appropriate to
the AO.

6-16
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

DEFENSE PLANNING
6-71. FP will fall under the general force protection plan for the area in
which it is operating. This responsibility will be with the MACOM,
COSCOM, or JTF. The primary defense provider will be the tenant
units. METT-T will determine the defensive posture appropriate for the
area.
6-72. The commander plans the defense of the operating area. Higher
headquarters S2 and S3 can provide information on the threat from
opposing forces in the AO. The advance quartering party should have
conducted a preliminary reconnaissance of the area and created a
preliminary defensive plan. The commander will perform a secondary
reconnaissance of the operating area. He should sketch the area on a
map and use this map to create a defense plan. The commander may
request more supplies for obstacles and camouflage as well as more
ammunition, if necessary.
6-73. Components of an effective base defense plan include procedures
for detection, delay, and destruction. Detection efforts include using day
and night observation devices, MP and counterintelligence information,
and chemical or radiological monitoring devices. Warning systems and
procedures to notify all personnel of various alert postures should be
considered. Following detection, use delay measures to show the
attacker’s progress to allow base defense forces to respond. Delay
measures include mines, boobytraps, obstacles, and barriers. Following
detection and delay, the enemy force must be destroyed. If the threat
exceeds available base assets, preplanned delay measures may be
seriously tested until additional forces arrive to destroy the threat. FMs
5-103, 7-7, 7-10, 20-3, 20-23, 21-75, 23-14, 23-30, 23-31, 23-67, 44-80,
and 90-10 provide information and guidance for planning, setting up,
maintaining, and improving defenses.
6-74. The defense plan should also deploy camouflage, cover,
concealment, dispersion, light and noise discipline and the use of an
alarm system. The size of FP makes it difficult to conceal. However,
appropriate steps should be taken to camouflage and conceal structures
and equipment as much as possible.
6-75. The commander should spread out the unit as much as possible
without slowing operations. Dispersion is secondary to mission
accomplishment. Class III supplies should be kept away from other
supplies. If possible, Class V supplies should be kept at least 180 meters
from other supplies. This makes it harder for the enemy to destroy all of
the unit’s supplies in one strike.
6-76. Light and noise discipline are important to maintaining good
defense. Troops should be trained to work quietly and with little or no
light. Flashlights should have colored and filtered lights. TEMPERS
should be used for operations if necessary. While the size and population
of FP may make the maintenance of light and noise discipline difficult,
it should not be overlooked.
6-77. Camouflage and night operations provide for passive air defense.

6-17
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

FP personnel have only small arms weapons. They should be trained to

fire their weapons as a group at attacking aircraft as an active air
defense measure.
6-78. An alarm system can warn the unit that an attack is imminent.
Ideally the unit’s defense plan should allow increases in perimeter
defense while continuing support of missions. The company should be
trained to respond appropriately to threats. However, when attack is
imminent, all personnel stop their normal duties and take defensive
positions. The commander’s first responsibility is to secure the unit. If
he cannot defend against enemy activity, he must coordinate with
higher headquarters for the appropriate support or to conduct a hasty
retreat.

NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL OPERATIONS

6-79. The enemy has the means to conduct operations involving NBC
weapons. It can be expected to use them into any battlefield scenario.
When this happens, the company must be able to survive an attack, and
based on level of damage and/or contamination, continue to do its
mission. The commander should choose an officer, a NCO and an
enlisted alternate to lead and train NBC defense teams. AR 350-41
establishes the requirement for unit NBC defense teams. The team
should be trained to decontaminate troops and equipment, do
radiological monitoring and survey, and detect chemical attacks. All
officers and NCOs must know and be able to apply the principles of NBC
defense as given in FM 3-100. Techniques for mitigating the effects of a
NBC attack are given in FMs 3-3 and 3-4.

SECTION V – UNUSUAL OPERATING CONDITIONS

WET WEATHER CONDITIONS

6-80. Extended periods of wet weather or torrential rains may create
conditions that negatively effect FP operations. Extended periods of rain
may cause the earth to become muddy and make moving in and around
the camp difficult for equipment and personnel. In these conditions,
sidewalks need to be constructed in areas receiving significant personnel
traffic. Tracking of mud into facilities may also cause sanitary issues
which require additional consideration.
6-81. Wet conditions may cause TEMPERs to sag and guy ropes and
stakes to become loosened. Increase routine inspections of structural
integrity for TEMPERs to ensure facilities remain structurally sound
and undamaged. Wet conditions can also cause grounding rods for
electrical systems to become loosened and grounding to become less than
effective. Increase routine inspection of grounding rods to ensure proper
grounding and prevent electrical shock.

6-18
_________________________________________________________________________FM 42-424

COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS

6-82. The FP module is not intended for use in freezing conditions. Brief
drops into temperatures below freezing can be tolerated, but sustained
operations in these conditions require the addition of the separately
provided cold weather kit. Subsystems with collapsible fabric tanks will
place TEMPERs over the tanks. Insulating material and heat tracing
devices will be placed around hoses and connections. ASH is provided to
replace the ECUs for TEMPER climate control. These heaters produce
greater heating BTUs and function more efficiently in cold weather
conditions. The cold weather kit comes with a TM, which contains all of
the instructions necessary for the setup, operation, maintenance and
dismantlement of the kit.
6-83. Snow must be removed from TEMPER flies promptly to prevent
damage or catastrophic failure of the tent. A long-handled snow rake is
provided for this task. Snowdrifts against TEMPERs should be removed.
If cold weather is anticipated, the TEMPERs should be rearranged to
reduce inaccessible deadspace between TEMPERs and/or vestibules.
Snow may need to be removed sidewalks and roadways. To prevent
damage to positioned equipment, mark their locations with a tall stake
or flag. Also ensure that all electrical cables, graywater hoses, or
blackwater hoses are buried or protected from damage by snow removal
equipment.

EXTREME HEAT OR DESERT CONDITIONS

6-84. Every effort must be made to reduce the effects of the heat and
sand on equipment, especially ECUs, fuel supplies, and water supplies.
Empty TRICONs can be used to keep equipment out the sun and sand.
Use solar shades or tentage wherever possible to reduce the solar
heating of water and fuel tanks. Avoid filling tanks to 100 percent
capacity to reduce the possibility of heat deterioration, infrared
deterioration, and rupture. Electric pumps and equipment powered by
small air-cooled internal combustion engines should be shaded to
prevent overheating. Water the air filters of internal combustion
equipment. Preventive maintenance on these systems should be
performed in shorter intervals, if necessary.
6-85. Extreme heat effects the physiology of personnel and increases the
likelihood of heat stroke, exhaustion, and dehydration. Schedule tasks
and workload to take these conditions under consideration. Make sure
soldiers take frequent breaks, use sunscreen, and drink plenty of water
to prevent dehydration.

HIGH ELEVATION
6-86. Fuel burning equipment, including internal combustion engines is
limited in the altitude at which they may be effectively and efficiently
operated. Operation at high elevations may require adjustment of the
fuel and air mixtures on some internal combustion engines. The
equipment’s TM should be checked to determine the procedure for

6-19
FM 42-424_________________________________________________________________________

making necessary adjustments.

6-87. At high elevations, personnel may experience difficulty at
increased levels of exertion. Consider the effects of elevation on
physiology and tasks. Consider this when you schedule the workload.
