    American instructors Mike Gerhard from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District; Alonzo Ellis from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District and Dan Hunt from the U.S. Army Engineer School discuss proposed base camp design plans with engineers from the Ghana Armed Forces October 18, 2022, as part of a base camp design training course in Accra, Ghana.

    When the call comes to support United Nations peacekeeping operations, the Ghana Armed Forces regularly answer that call and are expected to set up their operations at times with little to no existing base camp infrastructure. They could be operating from the corner of an airport, a commandeered sports field or a tract of land in an undeveloped part of a jungle or desert scape – wherever peace needs reinforced. Efficiently and logically developing base camps for deployed forces is key to any mission’s success, and that is why experts from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were recently in Ghana teaching courses in base camp design to Ghana Armed Forces combat engineers and planners in the Ghanaian capital of Accra.
