Force Provider is a deployable bare base support system developed by the United States Army to provide rest and relief facilities for soldiers. Each containerized package provides air conditioned/heated billeting, dining, laundry, latrine and recreational facilities for a battalion-sized force of up to 550 soldiers and the 50 personnel required to operate it.[1] Based around the use of TEMPER tents, it includes the capability to store and distribute 80,000 gallons of water, 40,000 gallons of fuel, and generate 1.1 megawatts of continuous power.[2][3] It takes on average three to four days to prepare a Force Provider camp site, typically 10 acres of land, then five to six days to set it up and make the camp operational.[1] Six packages can be combined to support a brigade-size force of 3,300 soldiers. Although its primary mission is to support front-line soldiers, Force Provider can be utilized for other missions such as humanitarian aid and disaster relief.[4][5][6]
