The MAST Management Information System is a simple automated tool to support U.S. Army Force Provider Bare Base Camp managers. The purpose is to enhance operational readiness through information technology. The GIS component of MAST allows for computer modeling of camp layouts. It utilized module templates and NIMA products to maximize layout accuracy and efficiency. Functionality includes the ability to add and manipulate camp components while working within specified constraints of pipe and cable lengths.
