Eveari, Ananto
December 23, 4411


12 Barracks identical to BEQ 2, which will eventually house close to 600 permanent personnel each, have been completed.

Construction of Basic Enlisted Quarters on the Bozo river facility are nearing completion, as the twelfth Barracks complex, of fifteen is rapidly nearing completion.  The Base, once completed will be able to billet a maximum of 7800 personnel in the BEQs alone, and 1200 Officers in the two BOQs.  Each BEQ/BOQ complex is built over a PX, entertainment and educational facilities such as a movie theater, a pool and a bowling alley, a mess hall, an Enlisted or Officer's club, a BAS clinic, and a Battalion Headquarters. 

Once the barracks are completed, work will begin on permanent structures on base, including motor pools, various support buildings, warehouses, and additional Headquarters buildings. Additionally, a Naval artillery school and Comm School are to be located at the Base.  During the Summer of 4412, construction of family housing is expected to commence, to serve 175 families in duplex townhouses.  In addition to the housing facilities, school buildings for children, as well as a small mall and entertainment complex are expected to be part of the family housing complex. 


Nearly completed jetty at the Bozo River Facility, some 2/5 of a mile off shore  A small lighthouse is expected to grace the entry to the harbor.

The Jetty project is now projected to be three months from completion, after which naval engineers will begin to construct the port facilities.  This will include additional jetties to allow for anchorage and debarking without need of a shuttle.  It will also include dry dock, ship repair and refitting facilities, including lock system which will allow ships to sail into an assigned berth, and then the water drained from the berth and the ship repaired, refitted, or inspected.  The naval facilities will be constructed to service and dock even the largest ships on the seas right now, as clearance within the jetty is more than one half a mile and the anchorage has been dropped to 50 feet up to the shore.  Additionally, the Bozo River estuary, which flows on the opposite side of the Jetty, will serve as additional anchorage for ships Frigate size and smaller, as well as most submarines, though primary navigation will remain by tug, due to the width of the river, which is only 1250 feet wide at its mouth.

Completion of the facility is expected to occur around June 4413.
