UFC 1-201-01: Non-Permanent DoD Facilities in Support of Military Operations

This Unified Facilities Criteria document provides mandatory standards for non-permanent DoD facilities in military operations. The UFC 1-201-01 document serves as a primary regulatory text governing the design, construction, and maintenance of non-permanent facilities for the United States Department of Defense. It outlines the specific technical requirements necessary to ensure safety, functionality, and operational readiness in support of military objectives. The criteria presented establish a standardized framework for temporary structures, addressing structural integrity, fire protection, and environmental considerations. As an official government publication, this document provides the necessary guidance for engineers and project managers to navigate the unique constraints inherent in expeditionary and non-permanent facility construction projects.
