JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) iii iv JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) Preface 1. This JTTP was first published in 2001. Unfortunately, none of the planned supporting sub-documents were published. Since then, cumulative experience on campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere have fostered a considerably more detailed and sophisticated understanding of how best to develop the operational estate in support of a military campaign. Purpose 2. The purpose of this JTTP is to set out the doctrine and procedures required for the effective development of the operational estate. It is a book written by practitioners for practitioners. Scope 3. This JTTP focuses on the use of infrastructure to support a deployed Force. Though referred to in this document, Infrastructure support to Stabilisation is covered in greater depth in JDP 3-40 Security and Stabilisation: The Military Contribution. Battlefield infrastructure is included as it forms part of the overall operational estate. However, the requirement for it and how it is delivered are covered in more detail in other publications.1 Target audience 4. This publication is aimed at providing the guidance required by personnel responsible for: a. The planning of infrastructure support to operations. b. The delivery of infrastructure support in theatre. Structure 5. The main text of the JTTP is broken down into four parts. 1 Such as Military Engineering Volume XXI, Military Engineer Support in the Land Environment. JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) v a. Part 1 – Planning the operational estate. The first part concentrates on the constituent parts of the operational estate and how they are developed and managed in a coherent manner in order to support a military operation. b. Part 2 – Delivery of infrastructure support. The second part details how infrastructure support is delivered. It explains how contracting is undertaken to minimise the need for military manpower and how to act as an intelligent customer when deployed. c. Part 3 – Safety and environmental issues. The MOD has well- developed safety and environmental procedures. Part 3 explains how, on a military operation, those procedures are applied. It gives guidance to field commanders and, in a sense, acts as an approved code of practice. d. Part 4 – Funding infrastructure. The final part explains how the operational estate is funded and what must be done to obtain the financial resources it requires. Subordinate publications 6. There are three subordinate publications to the main JTTP. They each address more specialised aspects on infrastructure support. a. JTTP 4-05.1 Compendium of Equipment Infrastructure. The first subordinate document is a list of items of equipment infrastructure. It concentrates on giving the details required by those who plan and develop the operational estate. It is of particular use in the support of tactical bases. b. JTTP 4-05.2 Lands and Environmental Procedures. This document gives the detailed procedures and proformae for lands and environment management. c. JTTP 4-05.3 Infrastructure Project Management. This is a comprehensive guide to project management of infrastructure projects. vi JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) Operational Infrastructure Contents Preface v Contents vii Part 1 – Planning the operational estate Chapter 1 Infrastructure on operations Introduction 1-1 Definitions 1-4 Operational context 1-12 Annex 1A – Equipment capability taxonomy Chapter 2 Governance and planning of the operational estate Governance 2-1 Infrastructure staff 2-4 Planning 2-11 Reconnaissance 2-20 Planning estimates 2-22 Defining the requirement 2-28 Annex 2A – Example Infrastructure Request Proforma Annex 2B – Infrastructure and operational planning horizons Annex 2C – Infrastructure development directives and plans Annex 2D – Scale and standard of provision Chapter 3 Components of the operational estate Operational bases and camps 3-1 Categories of infrastructure 3-6 Equipment infrastructure 3-13 Protective infrastructure 3-17 Tactical bases 3-19 JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) vii Annex 3A – Items of infrastructure Annex 3B – Marine and maritime facilities Annex 3C – Availability of critical facilities at an airbase Annex 3D – Infrastructure facility tiers Annex 3E – IDF protection levels for infrastructure facilities Annex 3F – Medical facilities Annex 3G – Infrastructure support to the NAAFI Annex 3H – Types of tactical base Annex 3I – Tactical base sizes and development levels Annex 3J – Example tactical base Infrastructure Development Plan Chapter 4 Through life management Procuring and managing the estate 4-1 Programme management 4-3 Project management 4-6 Disposal and termination 4-7 Annex 4A – Siting Boards Annex 4B – Handover Boards Annex 4C – Proforma for Siting, Handover and Takeover Boards Part 2 – Delivery of infrastructure support Chapter 5 Design, resource, construct and maintain 5-1 Chapter 6 Using contractors Intelligent contracting 6-1 Policy and procedure 6-7 Procurement and contract strategy 6-12 Contract management 6-20 Annex 6A – Contractor Logistics contract Annex 6B – Port Agency Contract viii JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) Chapter 7 Military infrastructure engineering Military engineering 7-1 Underwriting the delivery of infrastructure support 7-6 Annex 7A – 170 (Infra Sp) Engr Gp Chapter 8 Facilities management Facilities management definitions 8-1 Planning information 8-4 Operation, maintenance, inspection and repair 8-7 Annex 8A – Facilities management planning for a tactical base Annex 8B – Infrastructure Support Provider contract Chapter 9 Host nation, NATO and coalition arrangements Host nation and collective arrangements 9-1 NATO and NATO maintenance supply agency 9-5 Part 3 – Safety and environmental issues Chapter 10 Applying safety rules to the operational estate Policy and regulation 10-1 Risk on the operational estate 10-5 How to apply safety rules 10-8 The inter-connection of safety documents 10-12 Safe system of work 10-17 Safety issues 10-19 Chapter 11 Environmental stewardship Policy and regulation 11-1 Environmental management 11-2 Annex 11A – Environmental procedures during occupation Annex 11B – Environmental assessment and handover JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) ix Part 4 – Funding infrastructure Chapter 12 Finance Policy and financial governance 12-1 Funding 12-2 Financial authority and approval 12-5 Other financial issues 12-11 Annex 12A – Sequencing commercial and financial activity Chapter 13 Operational Investment Appraisals and business cases Investment Appraisals 13-1 Preparing a business case 13-2 Elements of a business case 13-5 Annex 13A – Standard business case format Annex 13B – Simplified operational business case Annex 13C – Example three-point cost estimate Annex 13D – Optimism bias table Annex 13E – Points for consideration Annex A Insights Lexicon x JTTP 4-05 (2nd Edition) Infrastructure on operations Chapter 1 – Infrastructure on operations Section 1 – Introduction 101.

Do not cite this document as a requirement. AMSC: N/A AREA SESS DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-HDBK-1760A FOREWORD 1. This handbook was developed by a team including members from the three U.S. military services, the UK MOD, the SAE AS-1B committee, and contractors. It includes information previously published in document ASD-TR-87-5028 with certain elements of ASD-TR-91-5009. Some of this information was also published in DEF-STAN-00-69 (Part II), which is written around MIL-STD-1760B. This revision of this handbook is written around MIL-STD-1760D and assumes that the reader is also reading 1760D. 2. This handbook provides information on the implementation of a standardized electrical interconnection system, as defined by MIL-STD-1760, into both current and future aircraft and stores. It provides guidance on design considerations and options for including the standard interface capability at the aircraft's store stations and for providing a common electrical interface on carriage stores and mission stores. As a handbook, it cannot be invoked as a requirement in a contract. 3. Trends in weapon system designs (aircraft and stores) caused concern over the general proliferation of aircraft-to-store electrical interfacing requirements and the resulting high cost to achieve interoperability between aircraft and stores.

  • Indian Hieroglyphs
    Indian hieroglyphs Indus script corpora, archaeo-metallurgy and Meluhha (Mleccha) Jules Bloch’s work on formation of the Marathi language (Bloch, Jules. 2008, Formation of the Marathi Language. (Reprint, Translation from French), New Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass. ISBN: 978-8120823228) has to be expanded further to provide for a study of evolution and formation of Indian languages in the Indian language union (sprachbund). The paper analyses the stages in the evolution of early writing systems which began with the evolution of counting in the ancient Near East. Providing an example from the Indian Hieroglyphs used in Indus Script as a writing system, a stage anterior to the stage of syllabic representation of sounds of a language, is identified. Unique geometric shapes required for tokens to categorize objects became too large to handle to abstract hundreds of categories of goods and metallurgical processes during the production of bronze-age goods. In such a situation, it became necessary to use glyphs which could distinctly identify, orthographically, specific descriptions of or cataloging of ores, alloys, and metallurgical processes. About 3500 BCE, Indus script as a writing system was developed to use hieroglyphs to represent the ‘spoken words’ identifying each of the goods and processes. A rebus method of representing similar sounding words of the lingua franca of the artisans was used in Indus script. This method is recognized and consistently applied for the lingua franca of the Indian sprachbund. That the ancient languages of India, constituted a sprachbund (or language union) is now recognized by many linguists. The sprachbund area is proximate to the area where most of the Indus script inscriptions were discovered, as documented in the corpora.

    CHAPTER XII COLUMNS AND BLOCKHOUSES T was now quite evident that the Proclama­ I tion of August 6th had failed, and there­ fore fresh measures must be adopted if peace was to be attained. The Boers were directing their energies towards evading any decisive engagement, aiming rather at harassing and annoying us in every possible way, in the vain hope of thereby wearing out our resources, our spirits, and our patience. Their training, together with the nature of the country and their intimate knowledge of it, combined to favour this irregular mode of war­ fare, and it was no easy task for us to cope with opponents who, whenever the odds were against them, could speedily disperse their forces, large or small, and reassemble at any given spot miles away. To meet these difficulties Lord Kitchener at first tried the plan of increasing the numbers and mobility of the columns, but as time went on and the guerilla warfare still raged, it was determined to perfect the system of block­ houses already in operation. 176 MATERIALS FOR A BLOCKHOUSE FINISHING A BLOCKHOUSE (NO . 27) Tofacep . 176 COLUMNS AND BLOCKHOUSES 177 Before the blockhouse lines were fairly started, CollllWIS. the columns used either to w@rkindependently of each other or several would combine, con­ ve,rging simultaneously on a common centre, with a view to inclosing the Boers within a given area.

Since then, the cold war ended and a global war on terrorism began. These developments have led to far-reaching Ichanges in the way we fight and procure weapons. They have necessitated a rethinking of how we organize and structure our military forces, how we man and train them realistically to face these new threats, and how we equip them in a timely and effective manner with the best systems that rapidly advancing technologies can offer. In support of these objectives, DoD has undertaken a major transformation of its acquisition process, codifying the latest changes in May 2003. In parallel, significant changes in the regulation governing requirements generation eliminated the term “requirement” in all the documentation, and replaced it with “capability” for new weapons programs. These innovations have not altered the core mission of DOT&E. This is largely attributable to the original legislation being so clear, focused, and close to the core mission of the acquisition system. Our maxim remains one of determining whether systems will be effective, suitable and survivable in combat, and providing that information to decision makers before commitment to full-rate production or deployment with our combat forces.

This brings with it surplus items which, because of the reduction in the number of personnel, are put into storage until a suitable method of disposal is found. High on the priority list is ammunition of all types and nature. Small Arms Ammunition (SAA) accounts for a large percentage of any military organisation’s arsenal. It also contributes significantly to the stockpile of surplus, obsolete and shelf life expired ammunition. EOD Solutions Ltd in conjunction with CALDO engineering have developed the Transportable Ammunition Destruction System (TRADS) to destroy SAA in an environmentally responsible manner. There are two systems available, the TRADS 40 and the TRADS 20, both of which employ ceramic filtration backed up TRADS 20 utilises a furnace that allows small quantities of with a catalytic filter to ensure complete cleaning of the gases. ammunition to be destroyed and then emptied into a bin for Recent improvements have allowed the system to clean the further processing such as Free from Explosives Inspection.
