Book excerpt: This monograph deals with the central question: How can the United States better meet future base-development requirements of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force? In a hypothetical scenario, a US Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force encounters real-world problems that it would face while deploying and attempting to remain in a theater of operations. US experiences reflecting strengths and shortcomings in base development are then examined. The study then addresses these base-deployment problems: repair of war damage; lack of water; lack of petroleum, oil, and lubricants; port operations and logistics over the shore ; use of airbases in the theater of operations; establishment of intratheater lines of communications; and staffing for base-development planning.
