English term

activity

English Other Military / Defense
It addresses the impact of temporary or permanent loss of critical assets or infrastructures on the ability of the unit, activity, installation, base, ship, or port to perform the mission.

Another sentence:

This analysis identifies critical assets and infrastructures (food and water sources) located within, on, and adjacent to the unit, activity, installation, base, ship, or port (high-value targets, lines of communications).


"Activity" does not seem to mean its standard meaning in these two sentences.

...located within, on, and adjacent to the unit, place where the activity is carried out, installation, base, ship, or port...
