DESCRIPTION
Each Force Provider (FP) is a high-quality deployable base camp that
contains billeting, latrines, showers, laundry and kitchen facilities.
The modules include fuel support, water and waste management,
environmental control units, power generation and power distribution
support ranging from 50- to 150-Soldier camps.
FP is staged in Army Prepositioned Stocks 1, 3 and 4 to support
combatant commanders’ requirements. All system components weigh
less than 10,000 pounds and are prepackaged for rapid transport via air
(C-130, C-141, C-5 and C-17), sea, road or rail.
Additional operational add-on kits include cold-weather kits, primepower
kits, large-scale electric kitchens, administration kits, and morale
welfare and recreation kits. Resource efficiency add-ons include shower
water reuse systems, energy saving shelter shades and insulating liner
systems. New FP modules use AirBeam shelter technology, which reduces
setup time from days to hours. These operational energy upgrades reduce
fuel, power and water requirements.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
FP provides military personnel with configurable, containerized,
expeditionary base camp modules designed to improve the warfighter’s
performance, morale, welfare and quality of life, while reducing fuel,
power and water consumption rates.
