FMFRP 0-55 Desert Water Supply FMFRP 0-55 Desert Water Supply U.S. MarineCorps PCN 140000550 00 DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Headquarters United States Marine Corps Washington, DC 20380—0001 5 November 1990 FOREWORD 1. PURPOSE Fleet Marine Force Reference Publication (FMFRP) 0—55, Desert Water Supply, describes the problems with supplying water to a force operating in a desert. 2. BACXGROUND a. Desert operations have much in common with operations in the other parts of the world. The unique aspects of desert operations stem primarily from deserts' heat and lack of moisture. While these two factors have significant consequences, most of the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures used in operations in other parts of the world apply to desert operations. The challenge of desert operations is to adapt to a new environment. b. FMFRP 0-55 was originally published by the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory in 1982 as a technical note. In August 1990, Desert Water Supply was republished as OH 0-55. 3. SUPERSEBSION Operational Handbook 0—55 Desert Water Supply; however, the texts of FMFRP 0—55 and OH 0—55 are identical and OH 0—55 will continue to be used until the stock is exhausted. 4.

B — Preliminary Test Results for a Prototype Desert Canteen B-i i-i- INTRODUCTION ionalNeed The Marine Corps role requires the capability of rapid deployment, mobility, and maneuverability for strike force operation.Deployment to desert regions will require the additional logistic burden for water self-sufficiency since most desert areas will not have adequate water resources readily available for exploitation to support combat forces. A complete capability for water self-sufficiency, with all of the problems and constraints unique to desert operations, does not currently exist in the Marine Corps structure. Background The Marine Corps is currently and has traditionally been a rapidly deployable, infantry—based assault force capable of functioning either independently or in conjunction with other forces.Operations have historically been in geographical areas with adequate water resources to meet assault force requirements for both potable and nonpotable use. Therefore existing water supply equipment inventories have been based on the assumption that adequate water resources will be available in the operational area and can be exploited. Th potential for deployment to arid regions, and specifically to one of several politically sensitive desert regions of the world requires the addition of new capabilities to the Marine Corps force structure and equipment inventory. The Marine Corps is currently procuring Army-developed equipment to address a portion of the immediate requirement.Even with this new equipment, deficiencies will exist in water supply capabilities in the near term, andthe next generation of water supply equipment for the year 1990 to 2000 timeframe remains to be defined and developed. The Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory under the Advanced Base Mobility Program has been tasked to identify the equipment and procedural capabilities that will be required for water supply in support of Marine Corps tactical operations in desert areas. Objectives The objectives of this task are to define thewatersupply require- ments and constraints facing the Marine Corps in desert tactical opera- tions, and to identify technological alternatives for providing new capabilities in the mid and long term. I Approach Enconcepthe farine: Corpsassaultforce structure is tailored to suit mission specific requirements.The basic infantry structure can be reinforced with additional air, mechanized, or other elements as appro priate to the mission.High level commanders have substantial flexibility to adjust force structure and tactical concepts to suit a variety of factors including objectives, geography, logistics, and political situa- tions.The high degree of potential variation in force structure com- plicates any overview of logistic support requirements.Therefore, the approach used in this assessment is to use several potential mission and force structure scenarios representing a realistic range of operations to determine the following: •Quantification of the requirements for water acquisition, treatment, and distribution. •Assessment of current capabilities and identification of required new capabilities. •Identification of technological alternatives for the period through the year 2000. MarineCorps tactical commanders are pragmatic planners who mustby necessity adjust deployment tactics and time phasing to accoinmo- date the constraints of existing capabilities.Sinceon.e objective of this assessment is to identify requirements for new or additional capa- bilities in water supply, the scenarios used presume the tactical opera- tions are not constrained by limited capabilities in either water quantity or water supply logistics.Restated, the tactical scenarios are not adjusted to water constraints, but conversely the water requirements are to be determined from the tactical scenarios. GEOGRAPHIC AND CLIMATIC CONSIDERATIONS The Desert Environment In general terms a desert is characterized by very low precipi- tation, lack of surface water, and a lack of shallow ground water. Contrary to the coon misconception, all deserts are not hot and are certainly not sandy.Flora will be xeric or nonexistent, and fauna will be uniquely adapted to desert life.A detailed description of geographical and climatological factors in various parts of the world is presented in Appendix A. Military Considerations Several desert areas of the world have significant military

  • Rain Shadows
    WEB TUTORIAL 24.2 Rain Shadows Text Sections Section 24.4 Earth's Physical Environment, p. 428 Introduction Atmospheric circulation patterns strongly influence the Earth's climate. Although there are distinct global patterns, local variations can be explained by factors such as the presence of absence of mountain ranges. In this tutorial we will examine the effects on climate of a mountain range like the Andes of South America. Learning Objectives • Understand the effects that topography can have on climate. • Know what a rain shadow is. Narration Rain Shadows Why might the communities at a certain latitude in South America differ from those at a similar latitude in Africa? For example, how does the distribution of deserts on the western side of South America differ from the distribution seen in Africa? What might account for this difference? Unlike the deserts of Africa, the Atacama Desert in Chile is a result of topography. The Andes mountain chain extends the length of South America and has a pro- nounced influence on climate, disrupting the tidy latitudinal patterns that we see in Africa. Let's look at the effects on climate of a mountain range like the Andes. The prevailing winds—which, in the Andes, come from the southeast—reach the foot of the mountains carrying warm, moist air. As the air mass moves up the wind- ward side of the range, it expands because of the reduced pressure of the column of air above it. The rising air mass cools and can no longer hold as much water vapor. The water vapor condenses into clouds and results in precipitation in the form of rain and snow, which fall on the windward slope.

    - Amit Wasnik & Shubham Jain What is a Biome? A biome is a geographic area characterized by specific kinds of plants and animals. Deserts, tropical rainforests, and tundra are all types of biomes. In the desert biome many organisms have learned to adapt to the hot climate and lack of supplements. Deserts are formed by mountains blocking the path of precipitation . Deserts can be hot or cold but they are always dry. They receive less than 25 cm of precipitation annually. They cover 22 million km2 or 1/5 of the earth’s surface. Hot Desert eg. Thar, in Rajasthan, India Rub-ab-khali, Saudi Arab . Cold Desert eg. Gobi desert, Mangolia Ica desert, Peru A Desert’s CharacteristicsCharacteristics Climate Seasons Animals Adaptations Plants Significance to humans ClimateClimate The desert is the hottest biome on Earth. It also has its extremes. It can be over 50 degrees during the day and below 32 degrees at night. Less than 25 cm or rainfall every year. The amount of rainfall varies, but when it rains…it POURS!!!! After a storm, the desert may not see any rain for weeks or months. The animals include snakes, owls, mice, armadillo lizards, fennec foxes, gila monsters, bats, and vultures.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

    desert World Activity Living in the desert desert World Activity Living in the desert In this activity your students will be looking at what makes a desert a desert. They will look at hot deserts (like the Arabian Desert) and cold deserts (like the Patagonian desert) and compare and contrast some of the animals that live there. Based on what they have learned they can then design their own fantasy desert animal! In this activity you and your students will: ▶ Learn about the definition of a desert. ▶ Learn about the evolutionary adaptations that ▶ Learn about hot and cold deserts. the animals have made to live in these different desert environments. ▶ Design their own fantasy desert animal. Objectives Carrying out this activity will help students learn about deserts and some of the animals that call them home. They will also learn about how animals cope with the heat and the cold and how this affects the way they look and behave. You can also ask your class to design their own fantasy desert animal showcasing the special adaptations that they have learned about. These can be displayed in the classroom and uploaded to the Roots & Shoots UAE website to share with the world. What do I need to make it work? You do not need anything special for the first part of this activity (which can be done in the classroom), just an internet connection to carry out some background reading, view pictures and watch some video segments. To design their own fantasy desert animal your students can use paper and coloured pens/pencils, or why not incorporate craft materials to make the designs more exciting, or even make a 3-dimensional creature! What things will my students create? ▶ Drawings and/or models of a fantasy desert animal.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Master's Theses by an authorized administrator of UR Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Since its discovery on Magellan's circumnavigation, Patagonia has been treated differently than any other region in the world. Effectively, Patagonia has been left empty or vacated by the North. But this emptiness and blankness have compulsively attracted curious travel writers who have filled the emptiness of Patagonia with self-reflexive projections. From Charles Darwin and W.H. Hudson to Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, Northern commentators have found in Patagonia a landscape that accommodates their desire for self-reflexivity and self-consciousness. Thus, Patagonia has been simultaneously filled and evacuated by the Northern mind. As a result, Patagonia has become increasingly about the self and less about the physical place to the point where Patagonia as a concept has been abstracted and made into a trope or condition. This paper examines the history of Patagonia in literature in English and analyzes how Patagonia has evolved into its modem signification. I certify that I have read this thesis and find that, in scope and quality, it satisfies the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.
