Gibbs) Supersedes: AFPAM 10-219, Volume 5, Pages: 314 1 June 1996 This pamphlet supports AFI 10-210, Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force (BEEF) Program, and AFI 10-211, Civil Engineer Contingency Response Planning. This volume describes the Air Force civil engineer’s role in establishing and operating a bare base. It lists civil engineer tasks involved in the forward projection of airpower, with emphasis on the use of Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR). This volume is of particular importance to engineers and mobility team chiefs responsible for initial beddown planning and execution at bare base and forward operating locations. The volume makes frequent reference to volumes in the Air Force Handbook 10-222-series and applicable technical orders for additional information. Refer recommended changes and questions about this publication to the office of primary responsibility using the AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication: route AF Form 847s from the field through the appropriate functional chain of command and Major Command (MAJCOM) publications/forms managers. Ensure that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained according to AFMAN 33-363, Management of Records, and disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) located at https://www.my.af.mil/afrims/afrims/afrims/rims.cfm. The use of the name or mark of any specific manufacturer, commercial product, commodity, or service in this publication does not imply endorsement by the Air Force. SUMMARY OF CHANGES This document is substantially revised and should be completely reviewed. Of particular significance: it replaces legacy (Harvest Eagle/Falcon) assets with BEAR throughout; addresses recommended water use rates for bare base beddowns; updates ancillary equipment; transitions 2 AFPAM10-219V5 30 MARCH 2012 from BEAR to BEAR Order of Battle asset management and equipment configurations; and adds information on contract force multipliers including the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program. Also addresses civil engineer (CE) task standards and planning factors such as manpower, materials and equipment for potential contingency tasks. Additionally, engineer quick reference sheets were included to provide engineers with bare base planning information and examples in a quick reference format.

  • ABSTRACT FARRINGTON, NATHANAEL CHRISTIAN. Numerical Weather Prediction of Stratus: Sensitivity to Aerosol Aware Microphysics. (
    ABSTRACT FARRINGTON, NATHANAEL CHRISTIAN. Numerical Weather Prediction of Stratus: Sensitivity to Aerosol Aware Microphysics. (Under the direction of Dr. Gary Lackmann.) Operational numerical weather prediction microphysics schemes commonly hold cloud droplet number concentration fixed domain-wide to increase computational efficiency. However, observations indicate wide variability of this quantity. Particularly, cloud condensation nucleus concentration has been observed to influence cloud droplet size, leading to changes in cloud radiative and microphysical properties. These changes have been shown to alter cloud depth, lifetime, and other characteristics of importance to operational forecasters. The advent of the Weather Research and Forecasting model version 3.6 includes the Thompson and Eidhammer radiation-coupled microphysics option which is double- moment for cloud water, accounts for some aerosol influences, and is designed for operational efficiency. Tests conducted here show that the new scheme successfully varies aerosol and cloud droplet number concentration temporally and spatially, while significantly altering the radiative properties and coverage of inland coastal stratus in the Pacific Northwest. However, tests also show that several other factors exercise greater sway over stratus coverage and lifetime relative to CCN concentration. © Copyright 2015 Nathanael C.

  • CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT: VERSION 1.0 Eats
    uclear N CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT: VERSION 1.0 eats The following is a adiological, work-in-progress. R Changes will be made. Your input is invited and xplosive thr E needed. Please use the evaluation instrument at iological, B the end of this workbook to tell us what is good and bad in Version 1.0 and what should be added for hemical, Version 1.5. The CBRNE and high-yield C Consequence Management Response Force (CCMRF) is an important new asset. The following attempts to translate existing doctrine, strategy, and lessons- learned to the CCMRF mission. (August 2008) CBRNE i Consequence Management Operational Principles for Managing the Consequence of a Catastrophic Incident Involving Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or High Yield Explosives Every effort has been made to ensure the doctrinal, strategic, operational, and tactical accuracy of this publication. It is specifically designed to prepare CCMRF personnel and their civilian counterparts for a sometimes ambiguous and often dynamic mission. As such it encourages readers to seriously consider how to apply doctrinal and strategic principles to difficult operational and tactical decisions where the correct answer may be less than clear. Any errors are the responsibility of the authors. Please direct concerns regarding accuracy or validity to [email protected]. PURPOSES 1. Familiarize CCMRF battalion and brigade level staff to their mission, roles and responsibilities. 2. Contextualize existing doctrinal guidance to better facilitate effective application of doctrine, strategy, and commander’s intent when CCMRF elements face novel problems in the field. 3. Provide senior operational staff with a ready reference to inform deci- sions during exercises and when deployed.

  • Rivista Militare 2007
    el momento del congedo dalla Forza Armata, desi- Ndero rivolgere ai lettori della Rivista Militare un rispet- toso saluto e un sincero ringra- ziamento per la fedeltà e la co- stanza con la quale seguono il periodico dell’Esercito che, nel panorama della pubblicistica militare, costituisce certamente un’importante e riconosciuta realtà. In questo momento, alla no- stalgia legata ai ricordi dei tanti lustri in uniforme si con- trappongono i sentimenti di orgoglio e gratitudine per aver passato gli ultimi anni alla gui- da dello Stato Maggiore dell’E- sercito. È stato un periodo particolar- mente intenso, caratterizzato dall’accresciuto impegno della Forza Armata nelle operazioni all’estero, che hanno portato all’Esercito meritati riconosci- menti in ogni ambito, ma anche gravosi impegni e sacrifici soprattutto da parte degli uomini e delle donne delle nostre Unità. Alla quantità dei militari impe- gnati si è unita la qualità espressa, in termini capacitivi, confermando, più che mai, come oggi le operazioni siano prevalentemente condotte da forze di terra. La situazione finanziaria degli ultimi anni difficilmente potrà essere conside- rata come transitoria, ma gli impegni ai quali la Forza Armata è chiamata a ri- spondere costantemente imporranno, nel prossimo futuro, un processo di tra- sformazione nel quale l’Esercito, pur mantenendo una capacità quantitativa ir- rinunciabile, dovrà incrementare ulteriormente quella qualitativa e tecnologica- mente avanzata, in sinergia con le altre risorse del sistema Paese. La Rivista Militare non solo ha saputo accompagnare la Forza Armata nelle sue diverse e molteplici trasformazioni, ma ha anche garantito al massimo l’o- biettività dell’informazione, divenendo pertanto importante e riconosciuto punto di riferimento del pensiero militare.
