at least 300 feet from aircraft and 100 feet from buildings. CURRENT SITUATION: Only 100,000 gals. of jet fuel storage capacity is available on base. The average hourly fuel consumption for an F-4 is 2,000+ gals. At that rate, even if the tanks were topped off Friday, they would be nearly drained Monday after a UTA with active flying. Fuel is trucked to the base from suppliers 110 to 180 miles away. A two day notice for delivery is required. Anticipating 20+ loads per week; with the distances involved and necessity for prior notice, serious tank space problems are likely to develop if weather, aborts, etc. cancel some missions. Refueling vehicles are currently being parked on the East edge of the aircraft parking ramp. This is much too close to parked and taxiing aircraft and road traffic to be safe. The pavement on which the vehicles are being parked is only 5 inches thick. The heavy wheel loadings of full refueling vehicles has severely cracked and broken this pavement. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Mission accomplishment would be seriously affected. It is not difficult to invision the very real possibility of the 181st being called to respond to an emergency and not be able to do so because there was not enough fuel in the tanks to sustain the operation. Furthermore, without the refueling vehicle parking area, safety will continue to be compromised. The pavement will continue to break up creating more FOD problems. The environment could also be damaged without the fuel spill containment system. FORM DD 1391c PREVIOUS EDITION IS OBSOLETE IN THE USAF. PAGE NO 4-36 A.

Functional areas include command post, squadron operations, intelligence, weather station, life support equipment shop, parachute shop, administration area and space for utilities. Air conditioning 76 tons. SUBSTANDARD: 0 PROJECT: A combined facility designed to provide the needed space for each of the major functions of squadron operations, command post, intelligence, life support equipment maintenance and parachute maintenance to effectively perform their assigned missions. Each of these functions is in direct support of the flying mission. REQUIREMENT: Fighter squadron flight operations and maintenance and Storage of life support equipment and parachutes requires adequate space, properly controlled temperatures and humidity and positive security. Successful squadron operations requires mass training for all aircrew members, briefing of individual flights, study of target intelligence, selection of weapons and tactics, flight planning, command post operations and administrative functions. Life support equipment must be maintained and stored in a temperature controlled shop. Parachutes must be dryed and packed in humidity control areas to prolong the life of the chutes and reduce static electricity. With the conversion to F-4 aircraft, the CURRENT SITUATION: Squadron operations is currently housed in a portion of the hangar second floor. The life support shop and parachute shop 4re on the first floor of the hangar. Each of these functions is crowded split-up and lack proper temperature control and security. Furthermore, the aircraft maintenance function is seriously short of general purpose shop space which must be located on the first floor of the hangar for an efficient and logical maintenance operation. When squadron operations, life support and the parachute shop move into the requested facility, the space on the first floor of the hangar that is vacated will become general purpose aircraft maintenance shops. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Conversion from a single-seat to a dual-seat aircraft, without adequate space to support the squadron operations, life support and parachute shop functions can only result in seriously reduced mission capabilities. Without proper space for training, briefings and target intelligence study, aircrew capabilities and knowledge cannot be much above borderline level. Unless larger and environmentally controlled shops are constructed for the life support and parachute maintenance functions, the safety of aircrew members is in jeopardy. Furthermore, the increase storage requirement imposed by the aircrew chemical/biological suits is placing extreme stress on the already overcrowded life support shop. For the above reasons alone, the composite squadron operations facility is desperately needed to assure the maximum safe effectiveness of the fighter squadron. But in addition, without the squadron operations facility aircraft maintenance would also suffer badly. Without the squadron operations facility the space proposed to be vacated by the life support and parachute shops would not revert to aircraft maintenance general purpose shops. A.
