LATEST AND ACCURATE SUMMARY.
Geospatial supports General Engineering by
providing Geospatial Information and Services (collection, info extraction,
storage, dissemination, and exploitation of all data referred to a precise
location on the earth’s surface). Geospatial should be included in the
Intelligence Preparation of the Battle Field and Planning Process.
GEO Products
-Geospatial Engineering Products are TERRAIN focused, as opposed to
Geospatial Intelligence, which is focused on ENY Combatant
capabilities/limitations.
Major functions of geospatial engineers
GMAD is the acronym used for functions of GEO Engineers.
Generate
Manage
Analyze
Disseminate
Engineer Reconnaissance
Engineer Recon and CBRNE Recon are NOT a form of Reconnaissance. Tactical
recon is done by CBT Engineers, technical recon is done by GE.
USACE response options
-Forward engineer support team-advance (FEST-A) or recon team (RT) 4-8
PAX
-Advanced echelon (ADVON) team 10-15 PAX
-Contingency Engineer District (CED) 16-24 PAX
Reconnaissance tasks
,-Technical Reconnaissance (GE)
-Infrastructure Survey
-Environment Assessment
-Airfield Assessment
-Route Classification
-Tactical Reconnaissance (CBT)
-Bridge Reconnaissance
-Route Reconnaissance
-Obstacle Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance vs classification
Recon is done by CBT engineers to determine is something is usable or needs
to be improved, classification is done by GE to determine MLC, # of passes,
weight bearing ETC.
Planning Construction Operation
Steps are listed below:
- Gather the tools
- Organize Information
-Analyze needs and requirements
- Develop plans
- Validate those plans
- Distribute work and projects
-Document and revise
Project origin/routing
1. Unit requests on DA 4283
2. Goes DPW for approval
3. Creates list for troop construction requests
4. S3 syncs with DPW for projects
5. Projects are picked and project packets are given; Scope of work, site
plan, and drawings
6. S3 Construction produce construction directive, BOM, Construct Activities
7. Project is assigned to executing company
, Project sustainment
"Engineer equipment and engineer operations require specialized
maintenance and an increased demand of supply to sustain operations -
repair parts, construction material, fuel and POL requirements." -The slides, I
guess.
Construction Contracting
Command Authority does NOT equal Contract Authority. KO is the only person
with the authority to change a contract.
Contracting key players/roles
-Requiring Activity
-Contractor
-Control (Broken into Prime Contract and Subcontract)
-Contracting Officer (with Contracting Officer Representative beneath them.)
Contract ARB
Purchase requirement and commitment PR&C DA3953
Letter of Justification
IGE/IGCE
PWS/SOW
COR Nomination (and certificates)
Draft of Quality Assurance and Surveillance Plan
Other Support Documents
SOW
Statement of Work- Detailed request on what you want from the contractor,
think Host Nation contractors
PWS
Performance Work Statement- More general request on what you want from
the contactor, think KBR.
