This handbook is the standard for all U.S. Forces occupying base camp facilities (e.g., Main Base Camps, Forward Operating Bases and Outposts) in contingency operations where USAREUR has been designated as having Title X responsibility. The intent is to provide personnel with adequate living and working facilities, while being good stewards to taxpayer dollars. This Red Book outlines master planning, housing, unit facilities, utilities, service member support, and facility maintenance standards for all bases. It is essential that commanders at all levels ensure these quality of life standards are met, but not exceeded. Commanders are responsible for ensuring that all facilities comply with the requirements outlined in the handbook. Exceptions to the Red Book should be routed through the USAREUR Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Engineer, to the undersigned for decision.

The Prologue
Author: Alexander V. Mirtchev
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 1642935549
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This is not another alternative energy study. Rather, The Prologue identifies and charts the security-related trajectory of a relatively new global phenomenon: the ascent of alternative energy as a 21st century megatrend. Why and how have contemporary alternative energy developments evolved into a 21st century global socio-political and techno-economic megatrend? What are the security implications of this megatrend? And what does the megatrend’s evolution reveal about upcoming geopolitical, energy, defense, environmental, and economic security challenges? This book endeavors to answer these questions by establishing the conceptual framework of a universally securitized world in which mutually interacting threats have expanded the needs and security considerations of today’s globalized and interdependent actors, including states, international organizations, multinational corporations, and political and social movements. “Alexander Mirtchev’s sweeping exploration of the changing energy landscape looks far into the future and outlines issues that will occupy scholars and policymakers for decades to come.”—The Hon. Henry Kissinger, Chairman, Kissinger Associates, Former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor “With the advancements in alternative energy technology at the beginning of the 21st century, energy security thinking and planning will never be the same—Alexander Mirtchev’s profoundly original book reveals these new dilemmas that will challenge policymakers in all major economies and provides for dealing with the new realities in a smart way.”—The Hon. Judge William H. Webster, Chairman, Homeland Security Advisory Council, Former Director of the CIA and FBI

Boots on the ground: Troop Density in Contingency Operations
Author: John J. McGrath
Publisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160869501
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
This paper clearly shows the immediate relevancy of historical study to current events. One of the most common criticisms of the U.S. plan to invade Iraq in 2003 is that too few troops were used. The argument often fails to satisfy anyone for there is no standard against which to judge. A figure of 20 troops per 1000 of the local population is often mentioned as the standard, but as McGrath shows, that figure was arrived at with some questionable assumptions. By analyzing seven military operations from the last 100 years, he arrives at an average number of military forces per 1000 of the population that have been employed in what would generally be considered successful military campaigns. He also points out a variety of important factors affecting those numbers-from geography to local forces employed to supplement soldiers on the battlefield, to the use of contractors-among others.
