SIZE DETERMINANTS.
2-1.1
Population Served. The population served by the FSC is determined by
adding a multiplier to the active duty population. This multiplier varies depending on the
location of the proposed FSC:
CONUS. FSC population equals active duty (AD) population times 1.6;
OCONUS. FSC population equals AD population times 2.4; and
Service Exception: For Navy Fleet Concentration Areas: FSC
population equals AD population times 2.4.
Service Exception: For Air Force facilities, refer to AFMS 16F1, to
determine population served.
2-1.2
Facility Size Classifications. Once the size of the FSC population has
been determined, classify the size of the facility according to Table 2-1. Within each
size classification, other factors that affect the facility size include the variations among
the Services and the optional program areas (see paragraph 2-1.3 for more information
on optional spaces). Service Exception: For Air Force facilities, refer to AFMS 16F1
to determine facility size classifications.
2-1.2.1
When the total population is broken down into distinctive geographic
locations, consider providing multiple facilities sized individually for the geographic
populations. This is particularly important since accessibility to the facility is a key issue
for FSCs (see paragraph 2-4.2 for more information on accessibility and locating the
FSC).
In these cases, each facility should be size classified for the population to
be served and the functions to be provided. Efficiencies may be gained by
consolidating management and administrative functions.
