Engineering Operations on Advanced Bases

摘要

In all the theaters of operations on our far-flung battle lines, enemy forces are being driven back and new bas­es are being established for our front-line forces. Many problems arise in developing these bases. Some of the prob­lems are more or less common to all advance bases, while others are peculiar to particular locations and conditions. Many different methods, some better than others, are used to solve common problems. The detailed knowledge of how particular problems have been solved in certain bases is often of great value to officials in other bases. This article, covering engineering problems encountered in some for­ward Southwest Pacific bases, is written in an attempt to pass on some useful information and also to encourage dis­cussions on this vital subject
