Military
Field Challenges
In
today's military the necesity for units to be self-sufficient
is of the utmost importance. Currently all water purification
assets come from outside the Brigade and are pushed down as
required; leaving the Brigades, Battalions, and Company's
to be totally dependant upon logistical allocations from their
upper echelon's headquarters. Fuel and water account for the
majority of transportation requirements in combat, if we can
eliminate one of these requirements by having the organic
capability to produce clean water those transportation assets
can then concentrate on other needs.
The
Organization
•
Must Be An Independent, Deployable Organization
• Able To Fight
• Able To Sustain Itself
• And Able To Win In Any
Environment
The
Brigade Combat Team (BCT) - 2500 to 4500 Soldiers
•
Water Requirements 20K to 60K per day
• A BCT Relies on Corps
Level Assets for Water Purification
• The BCT Pushes Bulk Water,
Fuel and Other Supplies Forward Through Use of the Forward
Support Battalion
• No Organic Means to Purify
Water
It is proposed that each Brigade has at least
three Global LS3 DESAL-M1200GPH systems or a series of Global's
new AAR containerized Global LS3 DESAL-M600GPH or M300GPH
series systems These units can be trailer mounted or fit onto
the flatbed of a 5-ton. They require from from 40Kw to 150Kw
generators to operate and can be situated with the Brigade
Support to supply all the water needs for the Brigade encampment.
A
Battalion Task Force- 500 to 800 Soldiers
•
Water Requirements 5K to 8K per day
• A Task Forces Relies
on Bulk Water Being Pushed Down From the Brigade Combat Team
(BCT) in 5000 Gal
• Tankers to Refill Bladders
and Water Buffaloes
• The Task Force Pushes
Bulk Water, Fuel and Other Supplies Forward Through Use of
the Support Platoons or Forward Support Companies via LogPac
Convoys
• No Organic Means to Purify
Water
It is proposed that each Battalion has At least
3 Global LS3 DESAL-M300-GPH. These units are conatinerized
and ready for trailer mounting. They require a 20Kw generator
to operate and can be situated with the Battalion Support
to supply all the water needs for the Battalion's encampment.
This will also eliminate the need for external vehicles to
haul water and Water Buffaloes and move more critical ammunition
and food forward. As the unit will be able to fill their water
buffaloes with purified water from the LS3.
A
Company/Team - 60 to 150 Soldiers
•
Water Requirements 1K to 2K per day
• A Company/Team Relies
on Bulk Water Being Pushed Down From the Task Force with the
Daily LogPac
• Uses 500 Gal Water Buffaloes
to Store Water
• Sometimes Bladders are
Pushed Forward
• No Organic Means to Purify
Water
It is proposed that each Company has at least
four Global EN-LS3-8000 series systems to be issued to combat
platoons as required. These units are mounted in carrying
cases and operate off of either AC 120/240 or 24V battery
with Solar Array, they will fit into a single vehicle and
be operated on an as needed basis to supply all the water
needs for the Company and Platoons. Because some Company's
are situated away from Battalion and operate on their own
it is necessary that the company level have more smaller units
for each platoon including Global's EN-LS3-MSP-2 Back Pack
series. These units will produce about a gallon of water per
minute and are able to operate under silent operations if
necessary.
Special
Ops and LRRP's
It
is these soldiers that have to be self sufficient as the time
they are in the field and the job they must accomplish dictate
being self sufficient. Each team should have with them at
least one of the LS3-MSP-2 Back Pack series. These units will
produce about a gallon of water per minute and are able to
operate under silent operations if necessary.
