ECCC General Engineering - Team D Review Questions & Verified Answers
What are the four facets of Unified Land Operations (ULO) Offense, defense, stability, and Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA)
that GE is incorporated into?
Give three examples of how GE supports the four facets of GE Support to the defense: operation to defeat an enemy attack, gain time,
ULO: economic forces, and develop conditions favorable for offense or stability
operations; Offensive Operation: Operation to defeat or destroy enemy forces and
gain control of terrain, resources, and population centers; GE Effort: Directed at
providing assured mobility of forces; Stability Operations: conducted outside the US
in coordination with other instruments of national power IOT establish or maintain a
secure environment; DSCA: In response to requests for assistance from civil
authorities for domestic emergencies, law enforcement support, and other domestic
activities, or from qualifying entities for special events.
