The Force Provider is a transportable base camp system that provides housing and operation space for a variety of military missions ranging from support of a small military outpost to a fully operational, forward deployed base camps and airbases. With the standardization of the Military, Force Provide can be combined with USAF’s Harvest Falcon and/or Harvest Eagles for joint base camp operations.
Force Providers are a combination of military and commercial products that provide climate-controlled billeting, quality dining facilities, hygiene services and morale, welfare and recreation facilities for deployed troops. Force Provider modules vary in size to accommodate 550 to 3,300 people each. A single Force Provider module for 550 personnel is packaged in about 103 TRICONs, five 20-foot ISO containers, 27 trailer-mounted generators, and assorted other self-storing items. The basic building block is the Tent Expendable Modular Personnel (TEMPER), each of which has an environmental control unit.
Force Provider systems come complete with water and fuel storage, power generation and distribution, and wastewater collection systems. They are containerized and preconfigured for easy movement by land, air and sea.
A single Force Provider site requires five to ten acres of land. Site preparation takes three to four days, and an entire camp can be fully operational in about 14 days using 50 personnel.
USAF’s Harvest Falcon 1,100 person encampment provides flight line operations, industrial support facilities, and housekeeping functions. The Harvest Falcon package is deployed by 15 sorties of C-130 aircraft using the 463L pallet system.
USAF’s Harvest Eagle (upgraded) 550 person encampment provides for flight line operations, industrial support facilities, and housekeeping functions. Harvest Eagle package is deployed by 8 sorties of C-130 aircraft using the 463L pallet system.
