Joint Mobility Complex, United States Army Corps of Engineers, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska

Comprised of two buildings, the Joint Mobility Complex consists of a Deployment Processing Facility (DPF) and a Munitions Processing Facility (MPF).  The DPF houses two separate ground/air intermodal functions: The Mobility Complex Passenger Terminal and Freight, which supports non-mission, routine, logistical functions; and Vehicle Pallet Processing, which supports mission oriented, mobilization/event based logistical functions, including the processing and deployment of troops, and assembly of equipment, supplies, and gear onto pallets for air transport.  Space was also designed to house customs; counseling (legal, finance/accounting, and spiritual); and, immunization and records. The Munitions Processing Facility is located on a required setback distance from the other structures. 

This facility was designed to a higher design standard than typically required.  Critical to national defense, the structure is intended to be operational after a major seismic event.  To accomplish this, USKH performed static non-linear analyses, sometimes referred to as a "push over analysis," to get a more detailed understanding of the structural behavior in an earthquake. USKH provided all architecture and engineering design for this two building complex.
