M.1 INTRODUCTION

M.1.1   MILITARY PLANNING AND DESIGN   

Most of the history and literature about the military does not deal with the topic of Army facility planning and design processes.  However, to plan for the future development of an Army installation, it is necessary to go back and attempt to understand what has taken place there in the past. 

In the development of its policies, the Army had to deal with the question of how buildings relate to one another by both use and layout and by architectural characteristics.  At least in its earliest phases, this development was not always a conscious formulation of policy as much as it was the immediate response to a given situation.  Over the years, there have been different forces affecting the process of military planning in this country, as illustrated by the various districts and zones on Fort Carson.
