and footlockers as well as ECUs. ECUs provide climate control capability: soldiers will experience air
and heating conditions similar to what is found in the average home. Other services housed by
TEMPERs are billeting, food services, laundry, and MWR activities. Bottom line, the TEMPER is the
main component or "heart" of a FP module. See Table 1-2 for a list of TEMPER services, sizes, and
number of sections in a TEMPER.

b. Containerized Batch Laundry. The CBL is a compact laundry subsystem (Figure 1-1 and 1-
2) designed to continuously launder up to 200 pounds of clothes per hour. It uses two 50-pound
washers/extractors and two 75-pound dryers. An important characteristic of the washers is its "reuse
system" giving it the capability to recycle its rinse water. Each washer has a water reuse tank. Water
used in the initial and dirtiest cycles is piped into the gray-water line. Water used in subsequent wash
cycles is piped through the washer reuse tank and emptied as needed. It is assembled, operated, and
disassembled by nonspecific MOS-personnel. However, MOS-qualified personnel make all power
supply connections. The CBL is housed in a general cargo container with a TEMPER attached for use
as a work area. A CBL contains the following:
Modified general cargo container
A 32-foot TEMPER
An M-80 heater
SPE and hoses
PDISE and cables
