U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MOUT II Training Base, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina

The HADP goal for the project was to provide the architectural envelope to house and support important military training operations that enable greater troop combat capability.

The Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) Assault Course II provides greater flexibility for the 82nd Air Force in combat training. The original MOUT was developed as a Latin American city, to be assaulted by land-bases forces. MOUT II provides an airfield seizure objective and its associated military security compound to stimulate conditions for assault by air.

The Airfield Seizure Objective (ASO) includes a passenger terminal, airfield operations and control tower, a fire station, administrative facilities, and a hangar. Assault can be monitored from an observation tower which poses as a hose tower adjacent to the fire station.

The Military Security Compound (MSC) includes a barracks, motor pool, administrative facilities power plant, and warehouse facilities. This area is also monitored by an observation tower.

The MOUT II project also includes reconstruction of a MOUT Assault Course (MAC). The MAC is a series of live range training courses, designed to stimulate conditions to be encountered in clearing and assault activities. This area includes rudimentary building structures, bunkered for installation of pop-up “enemy” targets. It also includes underground and utility pipe training facilities.
