Field Considerations.
In establishing a consolidated power network
using DISE and PDISE, you must start with an analysis of electrical equipment
needs in the particular field application.
Although your TOE/MTOE will
dictate the quantity and size of your generator set(s) and DISE or PDISE
equipment, various exercises may allow selection of equipment to support the
mission.
You should know the terrain to determine special considerations for
grounding and routing of cables.
You should also know general locations of the

power consuming equipment.
