matting and lighting are not provided with the FP module. The helipad should be located near the
compound but far enough away so that rotor wash does not cause damage to tents or hazards to
personnel.
(5) Parking Facilities. A parking area for tenant unit vehicles and equipment must be
provided. The area must be large enough to hold all of the unit's vehicles and provide space for the unit
to conduct maintenance during their stay.
(6) Ammunition Holding Area. Tenant units may require the use of an AHA at a safe
distance from the FP site. The type and size of the AHA will be determined by the needs of the units
supported.
(7) Waste Accumulation Sites. It will be necessary to construct sites for storage of solid
wastes and hazardous wastes. These storage sites should be constructed IAW the company's
environmental protection program and the appropriate laws and regulations governing waste storage in
the host nation.

Main Body Movement. Movement of the main body of the QM FP Company can occur
anytime after notification. This may be prior to or after the FP Module is shipped. Movement can be
divided into the following areas:
a. CONUS Activities. The movement begins with a nontactical road march from home station
to the port(s) of embarkation. This nontactical road march is done using organic vehicles to transport
company personnel and required organic equipment (TOE 42-424L000 contains a complete listing of
authorized organic equipment). Depending on time requirements and appropriateness, the nontactical
road march will proceed to a seaport and/or an aerial port of embarkation. Upon arrival at the port(s) of
embarkation, the company prepares the equipment and personnel for overseas movement and awaits
departure. At this time, the AMC LSE Advance Quartering Party should have already arrived in
country. If possible, the commander of the QM FP Company should make arrangements to maintain
communications with the advance quartering party. This is done so up-to-date information can be used
to begin planning the occupation of the FP operational area.
b. Overseas Movement. Upon arrival at the port(s) of debarkation, the equipment reception
team will receive the QM FP Company's organic equipment. Final planning for the occupation of the
FP AO should be conducted and company personnel and equipment should be readied for a tactical road
march to the AO. The tactical road march may or may not be conducted with other units. The road
march should be planned to take advantage of available resources and a security posture appropriate to
the threat identified should be maintained throughout the
