As a general rule, USAR prefers to bring both fiber optic and copper cable to
its facilities when fiber optic cable is available, at a reasonable cost, near the site. Fiber
optic cable should be run to the main telephone data room, on to the network operations
center, and on to the IT hub rooms. Fiber optic cable is not typically extended beyond
this "backbone", and any extension requires approval by the Using Agency.

USAR facilities must be designed to comply with the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the Uniform
Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), with the most stringent requirements
governing. An exception to this requirement is made for OMS buildings, which are
governed by UFAS only. This exception allows OMS restrooms to be designed without
accessibility measures, as these facilities are assumed to be inhabited only by able-
bodied soldiers.
