ECCC GE Review with comprehensive questions and answers
2024/2025
What is general engineering?✔️✔️Those engineering capabilities and activities, other than combat
engineering that modify, maintain, and protect the physical environment.
What is geospatial engineering?✔️✔️Those engineering capabilities and activities that contribute
to a clear understanding of the physical environment by providing geospatial information and
services to commanders and staff (JP 3-34)
What is Geospatial information and services?✔️✔️the collection, information, extraction, storage,
dissemination, and exploitation of geodetic, geomagnetic, imagery, gravimetric, aeronautical,
topographic, hydrographic, literal, cultural and toponymic data accurately referenced to a precise
location on the earth's surface.
How long does it take type 1 concrete to achieve design strength?✔️✔️28 days
What is the result of increase water to concrete ratio?✔️✔️Decrease; Strength, durability, water
tightness
Increases; workability
Construction Planning: What is the preferred source for class IV?✔️✔️Local procurement
Construction Planning: Who do you turn in DA Form 4283 in Garrison vs. in
contingency?✔️✔️Garrison: DPW
Contingency: TEC
What is the purpose of an EAB (Echelons Above Brigade)?✔️✔️Exists to augment BCT capacity.
Force Protection: What capacity should you plan for?✔️✔️200% or 2 units during RIP
, What are roads classified as?✔️✔️Combat roads and trails
Improved Roads
Base Camp: What are the classifications of bases?✔️✔️Contingency and enduring (5+ years)
Base Camp: What are the types of bases?✔️✔️Base
Base Camp
Intermediate staging base
FOB
What is the facility pressure standard for water?✔️✔️20-120 PSI
How much water should you store?✔️✔️Your storage requirement is half of your total daily
demand.
How much does water weight?✔️✔️1 cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 lbs/cu. ft
1" square in column of water, 12" high, weighs 0.422 lbs
Water Calcs✔️✔️Minimum water requirements for sustainment is:
5 gal/person/day 1 shower/laundry uses 17.5 gal
Daily water requirements for shower/laundry is
[(total # showers/exchange per week) x 17.5 gal] / 7 days
Personal water usage a day: 5 gal (personal) + 5 gal (shower) x # pax
When do you switch between the 3 airfield types?✔️✔️-Initial: up to 6 months (fast drop zones,
close to fight)
-Temporary: 6-24 months (higher standard of construction)
-Semi-Permanant: over 24 months (rear areas, all mission aircraft)
