This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive 32-70, Environmental Considerations in
Air Force Programs and Activities, and Annex L, Environmental Considerations, to the
European Command (EUCOM) Operations Plan. This instruction defines the responsibilities and
procedures for performing an Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) in conjunction with pre-
and post-deployment operations. This instruction applies to all United States Air Force in Europe
(USAFE) and United States Air Force in Africa (AFAFRICA) units, personnel and resources
involved in overseas, operational and training deployments over 30 days. This instruction applies
to the extent it does not either conflict with requirements imposed by international agreements or
cause degradation to mission capability. This instruction applies to Air Force Reserve Command
(AFRC) or Air National Guard (ANG) units operating in the USEUCOM AOR. The EBS does
not directly address the health hazards that may result from environmental conditions.
Bioenvironmental engineering personnel will address health hazard risk assessment as a part of
their environmental health site assessment (EHSA). The EHSA may be referenced in the EBS as
appropriate. Coordination with host nation personnel may be required. Send recommendations
for changes or improvements to this instruction on AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change
of Publication, to the AFCEC Environmental Division (AFCEC/CFEE), Unit 3101, APO AE
09094-3101, Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Units may further supplement this USAFE-
AFAFRICAI after coordination with AFCEC/CFEE. Ensure that all records created as a result of
processes prescribed in this publication are maintained IAW Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 33-
