Medical Sets
medical theater in the field. For mission essential equipment training
(DEPMEDS)
(MEET), an area of 3,720 sq m (40,000 sf) is authorized.
4.7.2 The DEPMEDS area is typically provided with an aggregate surface,
security fencing, and exterior lighting similar to the MEP. The security fence
should have both personnel and vehicle gates. Utility provisions typically
include power, water, stormwater provisions to drain the area, and a
graywater connection to a sanitary sewer. The Tenants will provide and
install grounding rods for their equipment as a part of their training. All the
DEPMEDS equipment is provided by the Tenants.

4.8.1 An AR warehouse (WHS) is a building to accommodate an AR unit
Warehouse
with a full-time supply function in support of other AR units or maintenance
shops. No standard design or functional space breakdown has been
developed for warehouses, as their size and specific functions and
capabilities may vary.
4.8.2 The project documents will define the specific functional area
breakdown and ancillary support equipment required for each warehouse.
The Tenants will provide further definition concerning the various storage
and supply functions of the warehouse, and the actual and perceived
relationship between the various functions. The functional and physical
requirements of the support facilities must be fully defined to ensure correct
design and layout.
4.8.3 Unlike an unheated storage building, a warehouse is likely to have
raised or depressed loading docks with typical dock accessories such as
dock levelers, dock bumpers, and seals. The dock and dock doors should
be sized to accommodate the vehicles which will utilize it, as well as material
handling equipment, if the Tenants have such equipment.
4.8.4 Shelving, pallet racking, and similar systems should be provided to fit
the Tenant's needs.
4.8.5 A Hands-on-Training Warehouse (HOT WHS) is for training AR units
to support ongoing Army missions or activities. As with a warehouse, the
designer must work with the Tenants to define the program for the HOT
WHS.
