Site Selection. Select a site that provides or has the following features:
Ample space for maneuvering the vehicles that may be used to move and position a
trailer mounted generator set, the Airmobile Laboratory, and a water supply trailer.
Site has a firm, well drained terrain, relatively free of surface rocks and large stones.
Ground is not excessively sloped, which could hamper leveling of the laboratory.
