Base Support Plans (BSP) are primarily developed for locations that have what kind of presence?

Base Support Plans (BSP) are developed primarily for locations with a permanent Air Force presence because these plans aim to ensure that logistics and support processes are effectively established and maintained over a long-term basis. The Base Support Plan outlines the necessary resources, services, and support functions tailored to sustain operations at a base, which is critical for facilities where personnel are stationed indefinitely.

In locations with a permanent presence, the planning must account for ongoing requirements and the continuous operation of facilities, ensuring that the base can function efficiently over time. This long-term perspective allows for the development of systems that support not just the immediate needs but also the future operational readiness and sustainment of the base.

The focus on permanency distinguishes these plans from those developed for temporary or rotational presence, where the support requirements may be more transient and less comprehensive, reflecting the shorter duration of operations.
