a. Site Evaluation / Preparation

• FOD search (Foreign Objects or Debris)• Possible obstructions/hazards- i.e. trees, power

lines, underground plumbing, etc.• Terrain type- i.e. grass, sand, gravel, concrete,

asphalt, etc.• Anchoring needs vary depending on terrain

• Shelter configuration• Repeat weather

Page 3: Gate keeper 1935 series

b. Equipment Positioning

– Layout cases/bags in kit form• Stage close to set up location• Do not stage within

designated set up location• Case=kit form• No cases? Bags=kit form

– Organize equipment accordingly
