About

This manual prescribes Army doctrine to assist commanders and staff officers in developing a base or bases in a theater of operations. It covers base development (BD) from early concept planning to program execution. The manual defines the roles, interrelationships, and functions of the various levels of command and support involved in BD in support of general war and contingency operations. Levels of command include the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the unified and specified commands, the component commands (pri- marily Army), and subordinate unified and/or joint commands (when established). Oversea bases are developed as a result of policy decisions made at the highest level of Government and are designed to support con- tingency plans related to national defense.
