• Barge ferry offload times (rolling stock vs
containers)
• Total personnel supporting operations
(reserve and active duty)

MPF-04 8
 Composition
• Exact size and composition of each
components depends on:
– Mission

– Number of ships to be offloaded

– The facilities available within the Arrival and

Assembly Area (AAA)

– Whether the off-load will be conducted across the

beach, through the port, or both

grading requirements for the medical core is between
1% and 2%.
• NEMSS requires approx 22-28 Acres.
• EMF requires approx 2-17 Acres.
• Casualty Receiving through Intensive Care are set up
contiguously (2 Acres).
• Acute Care Wards (1.6 to 3.2 Acres), Food Service,
and Public Works must be nearby.
• Berthing, Motor Transport, and Laundry can be
established at remote sites at the cost of manpower,
transportation, and efficiency.
