It would require the Navy to continue training on Vieques until an equal or better site becomes available, and mandate that the new site allow for simultaneous, large-scale tactical air strikes, naval surface fire support and artillery and amphibious landing operations.

A primary factor in the latter appeared to be surprise of the sudden transition from surface fire to crown fire, leading to the development and adoption of LCES, an acronym for a four-point safety procedure to increase observance of the previous training protocols.

Upon completion of SRA and sea trials in August 1998, in addition to beginning the training cycle, " Curtis Wilbur " deployed for the joint and combined Republic of Korea Navy and completed a successful Cruise Missile Tactical Qualification and Naval Surface Fire Support qualification.

Along with these factors and the fact that the area of the Beaver Creek Fire is a disturbance dependent ecosystem that was in its season where natural fires usually occurred caused the Beaver Creek Fire to grow to be the large, mainly surface fire it became.

Magnetometry can also detect buried metal ( or indeed fired objects such as bricks or even where surface fires were ) using simple total field magnetometers, through to fluxgate gradiometers and high-end alkali vapour gradiometers, depending upon accuracy ( and cost ) required ( see ).

As PEO ( S ), he managed the Zumwalt-class DD 21 / DD ( X ), Naval Surface Fire Support ( NSFS ), Advanced Land Attack Missile ( ALAM ), Integrated Power System ( IPS ), and Affordability Through Commonality ( ATC ) Programs, as well as the Littoral Combat Ship initiative.

Based on the work by Fons's in 1946, and Emmons in 1963, the quasi-steady equilibrium spread rate calculated for a surface fire on flat ground in no-wind conditions was calibrated using data of piles of sticks burned in a flame chamber / wind tunnel to represent other wind and slope conditions for the fuel complexes tested.

The fire history that characterizes an ecosystem is its " fire regime ", which has 3 elements : ( 1 ) fire type and intensity ( e . g ., crown fires, severe surface fires, and light surface fires ), ( 2 ) size of typical fires of significance, and ( 3 ) frequency or return intervals for specific land units ( Heinselman 1981 ).
