You have just completed a company FTX. You were assigned as the team leader for the nonhazardous
solid waste disposal detail. During the FTX site recovery planning meeting, your commander asked you
to explain the primary options for nonhazardous solid waste disposal.
, How do you respond to your commander? - The primary options for disposal of nonhazardous solid
waste in the field are burning, burial, or backhauling. Within the United States all solid waste generated
during field exercises must be backhauled to garrison or picked up by contractors. During overseas
training exercises, host-nation requirements must be followed which normally require the same policies
of backhauling or contract disposal. If incineration, burning, or landfilling is used during contingency
operations, additional security measures must be taken to deter scavenging by local populations.
You are feeling excellent about all the recommendations you have provided to your commander.
Planning for the FTX is going just as expected. The last task is to designate a perfect location for your
latrines.
What are some of the considerations for the placement of latrines? - Considerations for the placement
of latrines. Latrines must be:
1) Located at least 300 feet (100 yards) downwind and downhill from unit food service facilities and at
least 100 feet from any unit ground water source.
2) Latrines are not dug to the ground water level or in places where pit contents may drain into the
water source.
3) Located upwind of burn pits and landfills.
4) Lighted at night if the tactical situation permits, or staked off with rope or tape to serve as a guide.
5) Built at least 100 feet from border of the unit billeting areas but within a reasonable distance for easy
access for troops.
6) A handwashing device is installed outside each latrine enclosure; these devices should be easy to
operate and kept full of water.
7) Dig a drainage ditch around the edges of the latrine to keep out rainwater and other surface water.
