KFS Platoon Fort: Watchtower 77
I've been writing up some thoughts on the KFS strategy and its use of the Air Force for "Air Control & Coercion" operations and I need some help on the final phase - specifically the 'temporary' air strips that are put into place.
I have a platoon-level outpost which guards a landing strip (and keeps the locals aware of how good it is to have KFS 'protection') - but I'd like some feedback on just what would be involved This is the airstrip's watchtower (which also provides accommodation for about 30 people) http://morrow-industries.com/morrow-project-blog/?p=801 Now... I know some people here have experience of living in fortified positions so before I work on floorplans, please let me know if this watchtower is plausible |

I really like it but I have few questions.
First why the armory on the 5th floor. That would seem to be better on the first floor or basement for both access and ease of resupply. Second. How is water and sewage handled beyond the basement storage of rainwater. Do you have pumps to get water to the 4th floor bathroom?. Is there a septic system? Third. How is food prep handled. In the ready room? |

There would also have to be a septic tank nearby Kitchen in basement - with a rota for KP duty. I suppose they should eat in the ready room and in 2 shifts (and the platoon sgt can eavesdrop on any dinner table discussion). The platoon Lt eats in his quarters |

I saw the kitchen but you answered the question I meant to ask about meals. Mess rather than food prep. |

It does look interesting.
A circular starcase with a counterclock-wise twist would be the best from a space saving standpoint. This will allow the stairs to be defended more easliy from the floor above, this could go up the central part of the tower or be placed in one of the back corners of the tower, farthest from the main door. How is the tower shipped in and erected? Purpose of the ran gutters? To gather water for the showers and latrine? How is the place heated and or cooled?

Actually ladders would save the most space.

SHIPPING: http://www.ecoliteconcrete.com/shipping.php ERECTION/INSTALLATION: http://www.ecoliteconcrete.com/installation.php SUMMARY OF MATERIAL: http://www.precast.org/publications/...r/studcast.htm This is partly bluff to impress the locals. The concrete/studcrete is less than 2 inches thick and therefore not able to stop much firepower (it should stop any SINGLE bullet smaller than a Heavy Machine Gun - but a GPMG will eventually eat holes in it) . Therefore, many garrison commanders like to have sandbags lining the interior walls The gutters are there to remove rainwater to a more useful location. HVAC is something I hadn't considered... If they must have heating etcterera, then it's probably with electrical powered space heaters and/or a few air conditioners. Considering the power requirements, the 'generator' is probably quite sizeable and probably includes truck batteries as well as a KFS multi-fuel wankel engine. |
