2.7.2.1.7 Weapons Adjacencies
2.7.2.1.7.1 The armorer is always located immediately adjacent to
the arms vault; entry to the arms vault must be through the
armorer's space for control of the weapons.
2.7.2.1.7.2 The weapons area should also be near, or open directly
into, the assembly hall, as weapons training sometimes occurs in the
assembly hall.
2.7.2.1.7.3 The weapons area should also be near the staging area
for ease of moving all weapons onto transport for maneuvers.
2.7.2.1.7.4 The weapons area should be on a circulation route that
is frequently used to provide additional security against attempted
theft.
2.7.2.1.7.5 The vault should not be located on an outside wall for
security reasons.
2.7.2.1.8 Educational Adjacencies
2.7.2.1.8.1 The educational group of spaces is preferably located
away from the administrative areas to minimize noise as soldiers
come and go, and near an exit. Classrooms should be grouped
together, off a single corridor if possible, and with training aids
storage adjacent.
2.7.2.1.8.2 The library reading, library storage, and learning center
should be grouped together. These spaces are generally used for
individual study, and need not be immediately adjacent to the
classrooms.
2.7.2.1.8.3 The COMSEC training and storage rooms should be
adjacent with entry to the storage room from the training room.
They should be located near the classrooms.
2.7.2.1.9 Storage Adjacencies
2.7.2.1.9.1 Unit/individual storage should be located near the
assembly hall, which may be used for training with or maintaining the
equipment.
2.7.2.1.9.2 Supply offices are typically located in the unit storage
space, and overlooking the staging area, to provide the supply
officers with visual monitoring capability of the stored materials. An
exterior wall location, with a window overlooking the service drive
access to the staging area is generally preferred.
