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. Infrastructure, a line of development and a capability. Operations in the land environment use a wide range of military capabilities to achieve mission success. These capabilities are often highly dependent on infrastructure to achieve and maintain operational effectiveness. The longer an operation is required to endure,
