MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

Most of the appropriations required for the military construction accounts are dependent on the enactment of authorizing legislation. The details of this legislation have been completed and are being submitted to the Congress for early consideration.

1. Major construction. This category provides for acquisition of land for and construction of military projects in the United States and overseas as authorized in currently effective military construction acts and the new authorization referred to above. These authorizations include construction projects as defined in Department of Defense Directive 7040.2 where the estimated cost of such construction generally exceeds $25 thousand per project. Under this category the major program elements proposed for 1966 are as follows:

Strategic retaliatory forces.-Provision has been made for upgrading the previously authorized Minuteman sites and for improvement to the Titan II sites. Funds are also included for facilities to permit realignment and to insure safe and continued operation of the manned bomber force.

Continental air and missile defense forces.-Structures to provide site relocation, additions and improvements for the Nike-Hercules air defense missile system are proposed, including further work to provide this system with protection against radiation fallout. Funds are provided for the construction of operational, training, maintenance, personnel, and other facilities to maintain the capability of interceptor aircraft.

General purpose forces.-For the Army elements of these forces the program provides for construction of airfield runways, parking aprons and hangars, tactical equipment maintenance shops, hardstands, and troop housing complexes with associated structures at major unit training stations in the United States and in several overseas areas. For naval and marine air squadrons, naval fleet units, and marine ground forces, construction of operational and personnel support facilities at air stations and waterfront installations in the United States and overseas is provided. The Air Force portion of this program provides for construction of operational, training, maintenance, supply and personnel facilities, at bases in the United States and overseas, for the tactical forces. Some of these facilities will support F-4 aircraft entering the inventory, and others a capability for special air warfare operations.

Sealift and airlift forces.-Additional operational and maintenance facilities will be provided to increase the effectiveness of the transport aircraft assigned to the Tactical Air Command and the Military Air Transport Command.

Reserve forces.-The facilities required for the training of the Reserve Forces include: armories, training centers and summer camps, nonarmory facilities such as maintenance shops and warehouses; and aviation facilities such as airfield pavements, maintenance shops, and training buildings. Under the realignment plan of the Army Guard and Reserve, all facilities required to support these Army National Guard appropriation beginning 1966. forces will be financed in the Military Construction,

Army's research construction effort will be devoted to Research and development.-A major portion of the facilities supporting development of the Nike-X missile system. Another major Army project is the medical biological research laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md. The significant Navy projects include a chemistry laboratory at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.Č., and an underwater weapons laboratory associated with the Naval Ordnance Test Station, Calif. Air Force construction includes a science material laboratory at

Funds are also included for a Titan III launch complex at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

General support. This grouping includes operational and training facilities, communication facilities, maintenance and production facilities, supply facilities, hospital and medical facilities, administrative facilities, troop housing and community facilities, and utilities and ground improvements. Such projects, although important to the effective functioning of the armed services, are not related directly to any one particular force or weapon system and, in fact, provide common support for any number of forces or systems. This grouping also covers all construction needs of the following Defense agencies: Defense Atomic Support Agency, Defense Communications Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, Defense Supply Agency, National Security Agency, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The estimate for Military Construction, Defense Agencies, includes $50 million to be used for the construction of facilities which may be required by the military services to meet emergency situations. When these requirements arise, funds in the needed amounts as determined by the Secretary of Defense will be transferred to the construction accounts of the military departments.

2. Minor construction.-Provision is made for construction of permanent and temporary projects that are not

otherwise authorized by law but which are determined to be urgently required and do not exceed $200 thousand per project for the Regular Forces, and $50 thousand per project for the Reserve Forces. Provision is made in the applicable operation and maintenance appropriations for construction projects as defined in Department of Defense Directive 7040.2 where the estimated cost of such construction is $25 thousand or less per project.

3. Planning. This provides for necessary planning of military construction projects, including design, standards, criteria, studies, appraisals, and other related activities.

4. Supporting activities.-Provision is made for activities such as the defense access road program and minor land acquisitions.

Loran stations.-These funds are advanced to the Coast Guard for construction of loran stations in areas essential to the defense of the United States. Loran transmitting stations permit safe and effective operation of ships, submarines, and aircraft of the military services in all kinds. of weather by an electronic system of navigation which provides continuous navigational positions by means of intersecting lines of position.
