the overall ABFC System comprises a preplanned collection of individual functional components, each of which is designed and organized to perform a specific function at an advanced base. These functional components are given code numbers and names to indicate their function; for example, component P26 is a Seabee Team, and component N24A is a 750-man tent camp. By using the ABFC System, planners for logistics, facilities, and construction can readily identify the equipment, facilities, materials, construction effort, and other pertinent information that is needed for each component. The basic document that identifies all of this data is the NAVFAC P-437. NAVFAC P-437 The Facilities Planning Guide, NAVFAC P-437, is the basic tool that you should consult when tasked to assist in planning the construction of an advanced base. This document identifies the structures and supporting utilities of the Navy ABFC System. It was developed to make pre-engineered facility designs and corresponding material lists available to planners at all levels. While these designs relate primarily to expected needs at advanced bases and to the Navy ABFC System, they can also be used to satisfy peacetime requirements. Facilities, logistics, and construction planners will each find the information required to select and document the material necessary to construct facilities. NAVFAC P-437 consists of two volumes. Although it may seem unusual to do so, volume 2 will be covered first. Volume 2 Volume 2 of the P-437 is organized into three parts. Part 1 (Components) contains data displays for each of the ABFC components and is indexed by code number. These data displays list and describe the facilities that make up each ABFC component.
