THE CHALLENGE:
Expeditionary mission readiness requires rapidly deployable and energy efficient camp solutions that can be procured and delivered in a timely manner.

Expeditionary mission readiness requires rapidly deployable and energy efficient camp solutions that can be procured and delivered in a timely manner.
Sourcing, acquiring and delivering these products is a huge undertaking for any Commander, not to mention when you consider external factors such as host nation support, environmental conditions, budgetary constraints, etc. ADS offers a single point source of acquisition for the most difficult of requirements and shorter lead times than both the traditional full and open contract procurement process and DLA’s stock system.
For planners, engineers, and security forces, the selection of base camp physical security measures is driven by the threat, environment, and level of protection needed for fixed-facility solutions.
Rapidly deployable, transportable, and energy efficient shelter systems are the key to improved quality of life for the warfighter, and mission effectiveness.
Poor sanitation and improper waste disposal under wartime conditions greatly increase the disease vector potential of such common pests as filth flies and rodents. Even in mobile field situations these camp followers have historically amplified sanitation problems, often resulting in epidemics of diarrheal diseases that have caused many casualties.
Energy efficient utilities reduce base camp reliance on convoys, contractors, or host nations to transport fuel or water, improving mission readiness and enhancing camp and personnel security.
Expeditionary camp construction, operations, and deconstruction

In 2017, ADS provided the U.S. Army Europe HQ temporary tents for an 800-1,000-man camp. Shelters included billeting, shower and latrine facilities, water distribution systems, dining facilities, containerized kitchen units, a gym facility, a MWR facility, a USO facility, and generators with fuel bladders.
