Meeting America's strategic objectives hinges on the ability to rapidly deploy forces at any time, in any environment, and against any adversary. Contingency basing provides strategic integration of policy, planning, and resourcing for enduring and semipermanent deployment locations. See DODD 3000.10 for more information about contingency basing integration from the joint perspective. Bases and base camps are physical locations designated in contingency plans to sustain and protect deploying forces. This publication covers up to the semipermanent construction duration. Exploiting this expeditionary capability often places units in an austere operational environment that is inherently uncertain, with poor or war-affected infrastructure that cannot accommodate deployed forces.
