How do you hide the project in the deploment Stage

[drashal]

Let assume that we have a project size of 40,00 total personal to be hidden over a 30 year time frame . with an average team size of 5 (some teams are 3 man some 8 on average) so we have 8000 teams to hide in 10 regions so 800 teams to a region figure 5 states per region for an average of 160 teams per state lets then assume that 50% of the teams are recon teams 25% are science 15% are mars and 10% special teams and regional teams.

So a average of 80 recon teams per state 40 science 24 mars teams and 16 others this gives us a rough idea of how many hidey hole we are going to need also how big of an area of responsibility each team has to cover.
The US has 3,120,037 square miles in the lower 49 states which means that a recon team has an average responsibility for an area of 780 sq miles or a box roughly 28 miles to a side If we allow for perfectly even areas your average mars team will have a zone of 2600 sq miles or a box 50 miles to a side .

So go with this the project will have to hide about 266 teams a year or roughly 1330 personal per year

Then we also have the equipment update of 87-88 if you figure only 60% of the teams are in place by this time ( making for a mad rush at the end because of delays) you will have about 4800 teams to update in a two year time frame

Ok so we have figured out what are logistics issues are here are my suggestions on how to hide most of it

1. we add a new company to the standard companies for the COT some major Agro business
during the 80's large #'s of US farm went form private family hands to agro farming due to the farming market buble bust of the early 80's the project can easily hide large #'s of boltholes and supply caches on new acquired farm lands , this has the added security of not having the holes on property that project does not control directly. Also this allows for most of the placement of the holes to be covered by normal farming ground tear ups so most will not be noticed by both ground and overhead observation

2. the UPS /delivery company is a great idea for delivering supplies to a location for preplacement with most farms having large barns and other out buildings you could hide all of the boltholes gear before placement in them making logistics easier

for those who think that 160 to 200 or so farms per state is excessive RI alone has over 830 farms in the state but only needs 3 of them to hide the teams. This would be easy to hide in the noise of all the farms in the country.
This would also allow you to more easy implement thing like the Community in a box that has been talked about on this board both with the supply of food stocks and with the storage of said stocks
