2. Types of Camp Layouts. Among different types of camp layouts are: 



(a) The military plan. This consists of arranging the sleeping quarters 

 in rows forming either streets or a hollow square with other facilities such 

 as kitchen, dining hall, headquarters, hospital, etc., in a certain formal 

 relation to the sleeping and living quarters. (See Plate 69, page 168.) 



(b) Council ring plan. This is a form of the military plan type with 

 the living quarters arranged in the segment of a circle or an ellipse, the 

 service structures being placed in a certain formal relation to the housing 

 quarters.
