Environmental Considerations for Overseas Contingency Operations: Air Force Handbook 10-222 - Site Selection and Survey, Pollution Prevention, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Site Closure

This handbook contains guidance on environmental considerations for Air Force (AF) civil engineer (CE) personnel, including Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel deployed in support of contingency operations outside the United States (U.S.) and its territories and possessions. It outlines strategies for use in minimizing negative impacts on the mission resulting from environmental health and safety hazards and environmental neglect. These practices can help avoid or mitigate adverse impacts to human health and the environment during contingencies.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is committed to maintaining environmental quality to ensure long-term access to the air, land and water needed to protect U.S. interests abroad. Although a high level of environmental quality can be difficult to achieve during contingency operations, this goal is becoming less of an option and more of a mandate in successfully accomplishing the mission. By their very nature, contingency operations are rapid and time-constrained. Time is not always available to conduct comprehensive environmental planning prior to entering foreign countries when confronting enemies, conducting disaster relief or performing humanitarian operations. During initial stages of a conflict, the focus will be on accomplishing the mission and preserving human life. However, we must recognize failure to maintain basic environmental standards could result in illnesses, diseases and even death.
