Operational forces protection

Special operations forces protection, such as low-visibihty side and shoulder armor. 

Advanced special operations force protection devices such as hip, leg, and arm protection. 

The high-pressure oil flows in piping through a control valve. The control valve changes the direction of oil flow. A relief valve, set at a desired, safe operating pressure, protects the system from an over pressure condition. The oil that enters the cylinder acts on the piston, with the pressure acting over the area of the piston, developing a force on the piston rod. The force on the piston rod enables the movement of a load or device. 

These special directions added to the original terms of reference broadened the scope of the study to include not just deep-ocean and littoral operations but also any credible part of naval operations at risk for terrorist attacks. Although this study was initiated after September 11, 2001, it should be noted that the committee did not expand its charter to consider the roles for the Navy in homeland defense, with the exception of the ties of its continental United States (CONUS) force protection mission requirements in relation to U.S. naval bases neighboring civilian communities. 

Joint Requirements Office-Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JRO-CBRND). The JRO-CBRND is the office within DoD under the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff responsible for planning, coordination, and approval of joint Chemical Biological Radioactive and Nuclear (CBRN) defense operational requirements and serving as the focal point for Service, combatant command, and Joint Staff requirements generation. These responsibilities include development of CBRN defense operational requirements, joint operational concepts, and architectures for passive defense, consequence management, force protection, and homeland security. 

Force Protection—Security program developed to protect service members, civilian employees, family members, facilities and equipment, in all locations and situations, through the planned and integrated application of combating terrorism, physical security, operations security, personal protective services supported by intelligence, counterintelligence, and other security programs. 

In Fig. 15-9 two potentiostatically controlled protection rectifiers and an additional diode are included to drain peak currents. At pipeline crossings with an external rail network (e.g., in regions outside the urban area), the forced stray current drainage should be installed as close as possible to the rails that display negative potentials for the longest operation time. The currents absorbed from the positive rails continue to flow also in the region outside the rail crossings. Here the use of potentiostatically controlled rectifiers is recommended these should be connected not only to the rails but also to impressed current anodes. 

Weather data for a number of years should be assembled for each community being studied. Particular attention should be given to such natural disasters as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, which often can be predicted from meteorological data. In certain locations these catastrophic events must be assumed to be probable and this increases construction costs. E.xtremely cold weather often hampers process plant operation and requires special construction features to protect equipment from freezing. Predominantly warm weather permits cheaper construction but may also reduce the efllcicncy of the labor force.
