This project is needed to provide shop facilities for the
3rd Special Forces Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group, First
Special Forces, upon their relocation to Corozal. This unit
is located at Fort Gulick which will revert to the Republic of
Panama as part of the Panama Cnal Treaty of 1977. Without this
project, adequate facilities will not be available at Corozal
to accommodate this unit when displaced from Fort Gulick,
seriously degrading this unit's mission.

This project is needed to provide tactical equipment shop
facilities for the 549th Military Police Company upon dis-
placement from Fort Gulick. The existing facilities at
Fort Gulick will revert to the Republic of Panama as part
of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. If this project is
not approved, no adequate facilities will be available at
Fort Davis to accommodate this unit when displaced from
Fort Gulick.

Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands

Kwajalein Missile Range (PN 228)

720

[blocks in formation]

This project is required to provide a building in which
to assemble and checkout various missile systems and
component parts prior to a launching operation. Approxi-
mately 60 missiles per year require assembly for launch
from Omelek Island. There is no missile assembly building
at Omelek Island. Missiles are now assembled at Kwajalein
Island and transported 21 miles across open water to Omelek
Island. During inclement weather, missiles cannot be
transported in this manner. Without this project, missiles
will continue to be assembled at Kwajalein Island and
transported to Omelek Island which is less safe and less
efficient than assembly at Omelek Island.

This project is required to store missiles, rocket motors
and components on Omelek Island used in support of metero-
logical, atmospheric, ionospheric and range calibration
studies and data gathering requirements. This project will
provide a properly designed DOD-approved explosives storage
facility necessary because of its nearness to other inhabited
buildings due to the smallness of the island. There is no
explosives storage facility on Omelek Island, and missiles
must be stored on Kwaialein Island, 20 miles away. Under the
present method of operation, approximately 60 missiles a year
must be assembled on Kwajalein and transported over open water
to the Omelek launch site with extreme safety hazard and excessive
cost. The present costly, hazardous and inefficient transpor-
tation of missiles to the Omelek launch site will continue to be
a mission necessity.

Turkey

Izmit

Multi-Purpose Building

(PN 503)

This project is required to provide recreational facilities
(theater, lounge, photo lab and dayroom) for the U. S.
military personnel stationed at Detachment 97, Izmit, Turkey.
No indoor recreational facilities are available. The US
custodial sites in Turkey are some of the Army's most isolated,
and inaccessible. They are subject to severe weather conditions
especially in winter. The surrounding area is dangerous to the
degree that armed Turkish soldiers accompany Army vehicles that
leave the compound. The quality of life within the compounds is
important to mission accomplishment, since, for the reasons
stated above, the troops spend more time on post than do troops
assigned elsewhere. Without this project, the present lack of
recreational facilities will continue to adversely affect troop
morale and unit readiness at this remote location. This project
is not within an established NATO Infrastructure Category
(including the Reinforcement Support Category) for common funding,
nor is it expected to become eligible.

This project is required to provide an indoor athletic and handcraft facility for the J.S. military personnel stationed at Detachment 97, Izmit, Turkey. Two areas will be provided: one for exercise, two-man basketball and other recreational athletic activities; another for handcrafts. The present indoor athletic facilities are unable to provide recreation for the 52 U.S. troops stationed at this remote installation. Without this project, the inadequate indoor recreational facilities will continue to adversely affect troop morale and readiness at this remote and isolated location. This project is not within an established NATO Infrastructure Category (including Reinforcement Support Category) for common funding, nor is it expected to become eligible.

Location 276 (PN 136)

Heating and Cooling
Upgrade

950

This project is required to provide an adequate and reliable HVAC system. The reliability of the existing system has been diminished because of age, corrosive atmospheric conditions and inactivity since mission operations were halted in July 1975. Mission operations have now resumed, and the necessity for this project is further intensified by the introduction of a new generation of mission equipment a halogen fire protection system is required to support and protect mission equipment. Mission effectiveness at the installation is being compromised by substandard environmental control resulting from poorly operating and insufficient HVAC equipment. Field stations such as Location 276 require frequent rearrangement of electronic equipment to meet changing mission requirements. These shifts in turn place special demands on the HVAC system in terms of flexibility and sophistication of control to deliver satisfactory cooling. The existing HVAC system lacks flexibility and bulk tonnage for extended mission operations and associated reconfiguration of mission equipment. If this project is not approved, the existing HVAC equipment will continue in use resulting in degraded mission performance resulting in an unacceptable deterioration in mission capability. A halogen fire protection system will not be available for protection. This project is not within a NATO Infrastructure category (including the Reinforcement Support Category) for common funding, nor is it expected to become eligible.

This project is required to provide facilities for an ninterruptible Power Supply and to supply automatic auxiliary power. Auxiliary power

is required to prevent communication black-outs when the primary power fails and to avoid the time-consuming resynchronizing procedures necessary after restoration of power. UPS is required to enable the proper use of computers. Uninterruptible Power Supply and an auxiliary power source is not available. When the primary source of power fails it results in a communication black-out, loss of information stored on Without computers and, on occasion, physical and electrical damage.

this project, this installation will continue to operate in a degraded mode; adversely affecting the quality and timeliness of the intelligence product. This project is not within an established NATO Infrastructure Category (including the Reinforcement Support Category) for common funding, nor is it expected to become eligible.
