Who should research the availability of detailed host installation maps/references first and as required submit a work order to survey the markers through the local Base Civil Engineering or Army equivalent (if on an Army installation) agency to create visibility aids/charts?

Final answer:

Someone skilled in facilities management should research detailed installation maps and reference sources, accounting for the source of geographic information, map projection, and latest revisions. They may also consider using drone technology for continuous monitoring.

Step-by-step explanation:

The individual responsible for the initial research on the availability of detailed host installation maps/references should be someone from the facilities management or planning department. This person should have knowledge of the local Base Civil Engineering or Army equivalent, particularly if the work is to be conducted on an Army installation. They should be adept at analyzing and evaluating the validity and utility of multiple sources of geographic information, including primary and secondary sources, aerial photographs, and maps.

When seeking to establish visibility aids/charts, it is crucial that the professional accounts for several factors: the source of the geographic information (such as whether it's a USGS topographic map or a satellite image), the map projection used, the date of the map's release or revision, and any accompanying publication or guidebook. This background information ensures that the maps or charts created will be accurate and reliable.

In the case of enhancing monitoring strategies, as discussed by Isla and others, one might consider integrating technology such as drone technology for a more continual surveillance of the area. This contemporary approach would complement traditional methods and provide a quicker response to human incursions, ensuring the protection of sensitive locations.
