LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND PLANTING CRITERIA
This manual provides planting design guidelines for preserving and improving the quality of
the visual environment on military installations; prescribes standard practices and techniques for planting
and initial care of plant materials; and includes guidance for the selection and establishment of turf.
The criteria and guidelines contained in this manual apply to Army and Air Force installations in the
continental United States. Planting design guidance in this manual is generally applicable for all
installations. However, each installation should develop planting plans tailored to the specific landscape
project. In addition to general design guidance, this manual describes planting techniques and methods for
the successful establishment of plants. Factors which are critical in the selection of turfgrass are discussed;
these include site evaluation, proposed use of the site and required maintenance.

UTILITIES I
As an engineer officer you may be assigned the job of directing some phase of utilities work.
To do this efficiently, you must understand the broad, general phases of utilities operations. That is the
purpose of this subcourse. It is planned to give you basic knowledge in utilities layout, installation, and
operation.

q Lesson 2: Electric Power Systems
q Lesson 3: Refrigeration Systems
q Lesson 4: Water Supply and Distribution Systems
q Lesson 5: Plumbing Installations and Bills of Materials

q Lesson 7: Rehabilitation of Utilities
UTILITIES II
The material in this subcourse broadly covers the principles involved, and the methods and
equipment employed, in the design, construction, and operation of electric power and distribution systems,
water supply distribution systems, and sewage collection and treatment systems. Large semipermanent
installations in a theater of operations such as depots, base hospitals, replacement depots, and the like
require fairly extensive, complex utilities systems. The design, construction, rehabilitation (where
necessary) and operation of these systems are responsibilities of engineer units. While this course will not
make you an expert, it will furnish sufficient basic information to enable you to function as an engineer
staff officer or commander in the communications zone of a theater of operations.

CHILDREN’S OUTDOOR PLAY AREAS
The manual provides guidelines and recommended site layouts for designing unsupervised
outdoor play areas for children through age 15. Because of differing child safety and child development
requirements, guidance is provided to meet the needs of three age groups: 6 weeks to 5 years; 5 to 9 years;
and 9 to 15 years. Detailed design guidance is provided for designing three types of play areas: play lots
serving children ages 6 weeks to 5 years or 5 to 9 years; neighborhood parks serving youth ages 9 to 15
years; and community parks serving all age groups.

TOOLS AND THEIR USES
This manual provides information on the use and care of selected hand tools and measuring
tools. It will explain the types and uses of a large number of tools, a practical application of a selected
group of tools, safety requirements, general care, and limited repair. A user must have, choose, and use the
correct tools in order to do the work quickly, accurately, and safely. Without the proper tools and
knowledge of how to use them, the user wastes time, reduces efficiency, and may face injury.
