I 1* Tha airfields planned fo>r the use of the tactical air forces ureJar
L the control of SACEUH have been divided into the following categories î
B
U
P a. Main Airfields - These are fields for permanent occupation in
E peacetime. They should have operational facilities to a standard adequate
R to develop full use of their war combat potential. Housing shall be pro-
U
vided by bilateral agreement between the user nation and the host nation.
T
C
E b. Bedeployment Airfields - These are fields which will not be
L occupied in their entirety in peacetime by the nation to whom allotted, but
N which must be immediately available at the outbreak of war for use and
E occupation by units redeployed from their peacetime locations, Tboy should
S have substantially the same standards of operational facilities as a main
I
M airfield. Peacetime housing accommodation will be provided for a main-
- terjbr.ce party of IQO »en, The balance of the housing required in peace-
É time; e.g., for a squadron in rotation, and in wartime for 2,900 personnel
I
F will 'ce on a field basis, of Ktiich only essential utilities and canp
SI structures should be provided in peace.
S
A
L c. Alternative Airfields - These are fields for use as accomnio—
C dation for wartime reinforcement, for alternative use if main or redeploy-
É
D ment airfields are out of action and to give tactical flexibility. The
- housing accommodation to be provided at these fields will be for a main-
8 tenance party of 50 men.

N( a. Table No. 1 lists the minimum standard facilities to be pro-
D vided for each particular type of fieldr Facilities desired by a user nation
P in excess of these standards shall be provided by the user nation or through
- bilateral agreement with the host government, AU necessary land for stan-
D dard items and user nation facilities will be provided by the host nation.
E
S b. Appendix A gives details of the required criteria for con-
O
L struction of the standard facilities listed in Table Mo. 1.
C
S c. Annexes 1, 2 and 3 present schematically details of the approach
I
D zones, glide paths and clearance areas as applied to standcrd airfields.
Y
L d. Annex U indicates graphically the maximum and minimum grades
C
I both longitudinal and transverse which are applicable to standard airfields.
L
B
U 3. If, because of local conditions of terrain or climate, existing
P facilities or surrounding built-up areas, or special intended use of the
D - proposed airfield, deviations from the criteria and standards cited in para-
graph 2 above appear necessary, the appropriate subordinate conwand of SHAPE
E
I should be furnished with complete details of the proposed deviations. The
F
I proposals of the host country will be reviewed by the allied subordinate
SS COtutands concerned, and coordinated with the user nation when appropriate,
A in reaching a decision as to whether the requested deviations are operation-
L
C ally acceptable. Operational acceptability should be determined prior to
E initiation of any HAKWcommon infrastructure construction which deviates
D from the standards cited in paragraph 2 above.
Ut In addition to the foregoing required criteria and standards, this
document also presents certain SHAIS suggested guidance as follows;
T)
a. Appendix B gives information on items sach as general specifi-
cations for construction, layout, concealment and protection.
b, Annex 5 is a schematic diagram of a typical airfield based on
the standard installations listed in Table Ho. 1. It is intended as a
Egraphical presentation of ho« each of the items of the standards might be
Uprovided on an average airfield, but is specifically not intended to be
Q
adopted in entirety at any one site.
I
L
B
U 5. It is emphasized that, while Appendix B and Annex J do not give
Pmandatory criteria and standards, they do present what SHAFS considers to
E be desirable solutions to some of the problems encountered in airfield
Rconstruction. Nations are urged to make maximum use of these suggestions,
Uto the extent consistent with avoiding stereotyped layouts by a rigid
T
Capplication of Annex 5*
E
L 6. Technical guidance on the design and construction of airfield
N pavements and airfield utilities systems and on such other technical
Ematters as may prove necessary will be disseminated by the experts of the
S NAC international staff.
