Engineering Site Identification for the Tactile Environment (ENSITE) is dedicated to empowering military planners with the data and knowledge for siting base camps. Base camp locations and designs are not one-size-fits all, rather they should be viewed as a multi-layer decision process to support the mission and commander’s intent. The built, ecological, and sociocultural environments impact military bases and, in turn, bases affect those environments. Failure to understand these effects may result in increased logistical burdens and unintended consequences on local populations and natural resources—negatively impacting the military mission.
