SOC SF TACFAC Flashcards
- What is the three phases of SF TACFAC development?
1) Initial phase
2) Temporary phase
3) Permanent phase
- What is the purpose of SF TACFAC operation?
1) Deter and defeat ENY attack
2) Achieve economy of force
3) Retain key terrain
4) Develop intelligence
- What requires prior to selection of TACFAC?
ODA must take into account the factors critical to security of facility, including OAKOC, and PMESII-TP (AREA STUDY)
- What is characteristic of initial phase?
Begins when you arrive on site Low living standards Low power supply Water collection Existing building Existing power Existing water Existing protection
- What is characteristic of Temporary phase?
Improve perimeter of defense Improved power supply Improved living standard Improved security measures In this phase, most buildings are wired for electricity. OPCEN, MED, DFAC, and Latrine will be built in this phase.
- What is characteristic of Permanent phase?
Transition to long-term occupation Organized BLDG complex PACE Plan Permanent power source Outer Barrier and Inner Barrier Indoor plumbing Sewage
- What is SWEAT-MSS?
Security and Protection Water Electricity Admin and HN training Trash Medical Sewage Shelter
- What is two types of perimeter?
a) Inner Perimeter
Operational, administrative, and logistic operations are controlled within this perimeter. It is vital to the defense of the TACFAC.
b) Outer perimeter
It contains key TACFAC defensive positions and most of HN force. outer perimeter include fighting position, HN force Housing, Observation Tower, Motar position, and vehicle revetment
- What is vehicle Revetment?
It used as hull-down covered and concealed parking bays for tactical combat vehicle.
- What is two types of Barrier?
Inner barrier and outer barrier. The purpose of barrier is to slow the ENY attack & channelize ENY to create casualty and impede movement.
- What is administration area?
A separate building or location made available for HN meetings facilitates TACFAC security. It allow SF personnel to maintain close contact with local populace within their AO. Admin Area is normally located between the outer barrier and the airfield.

Inner Perimeter
Heart of the Special Forces “A” Camp.
Surrounded by a protective wall or berm with elevated bunkers.
Outer Perimeter
Fighting Bunker Sleeping Bunker RPG Screen Perimeter Trench Mortar Pit (60mm) Ammo Bunker Command Post Latrine Showers Dining facility Revetments Trench Bridge Guard tower
Main defense of the camp
Layered defensive positions
Houses most of the Host Nation (HN) forces
Administrative Area
Main gate Dispensary (locals) Gov. admin buildings Motor pool Fuel storage Bunker Triple concertina fence Latrines Outer barrier gate Access road Guard tower HLZ
Surrounding Area
Cleared Fields of fire Airfield Perimeter Road Main Road Access Road Gates Helicopter Pad
Largest area and most vulnerable to attack
Identified area for parking prior to being cleared
Location for vetting local nationals for possible employment or access to camp
Clear fields of fire (300 – 500 meters)
Identify dead space
Survey entire area and rank vulnerabilities using the criticality, accessibility, recuperability, vulnerability, effect and recognizablity (CARVER) matrix
Access Road
Single lane road that connects the main road to the camp with the main gate
passes through all critical perimeters, obstacles, and barriers
Special consideration must be made for security
Relief in Place
Conduct 100% TACFAC inventory prior to incoming teams arrival, fix discrepancies and be prepared to conduct new inventory with incoming team
Introduce incoming 18C to all key logistical personnel
Provide critical information on all ongoing projects and outstanding contracts
Ensure enough materials are on hand to continue projects underway
Pre-order materials that will not be available to incoming team
