ECCC GE Study Set Questions and Answers
(Expert Solutions)
Q: GE101: Introduction to General Engineering ANS 🗹🗹: · Purpose of GE Module:
Develop officers with ability to plan and generate General Engineering effects in support
of the maneuver commander during ULO
· Definition of GE: Those engineering capabilities and activities other than combat
engineering that modify, maintain, or protect the physical environment.
Q: · GE is utilized in support of: ANS 🗹🗹: o Defense- Continuously conducted to harden
and prepare positions, facilities, installations
o Offense- Providing assured mobility of forces from ports of debarkation to forward
AOs
o Stability- Focus is likely GE capabilities applied to restore essential services and
support infrastructure development
Q: Geospatial ANS 🗹🗹: supports vertical and horizontal construction
Q: GE104: Engineer Reconnaissance ANS 🗹🗹: · Engineer Reconnaissance Is NOT a
FORM of reconnaissance. The forms are route, zone, area, reconnaissance in force, and
special.
· USACE Contingency Elements (UCE): Forward Support Team Advance (FEST-A),
Reconnaissance Team (RT), Advanced Echelon (ADVON) Team, Contingency Engineer
District (CED).
· Technical Reconnaissance vs. Tactical Reconnaissance
Q: GE105: Planning Construction Operations ANS 🗹🗹: Projects come from requestor
(unit or installation entity) identifies a need which can be met by engineer support

Q: MDMP in Construction Planning 1 of 2 ANS 🗹🗹: o MDMP Step 1: Receive Mission->
Understand what you actually need to do. Gather tools, time analysis, higher intent,
shortfalls, Excess. Do not overlook geospatial.
o MDMP Step 2: Mission Analysis-> Compile analysis into one effort. Involve BDE S2
Geospatial cell
Q: MDMP in Construction Planning 2 of 2 ANS 🗹🗹: o MDMP Step 3-6: COA
development, COA analysis, COA comparison, COA approval
o MDMP Step 7: Rehearsals
Q: Real Estate ANS 🗹🗹: The overall collection of property
Q: When planning construction operations also account for...? ANS 🗹🗹: · Protection
Considerations, Sustainment Considerations...
Q: MDMP COA development produces what? ANS 🗹🗹: · different designs to meet the
commander's intent.
Q: GE107: Project Management ANS 🗹🗹: Is application of knowledge, skills, and
resources to accomplish activities that are intended to achieve a specific goal.
Q: · A project will: ANS 🗹🗹: o Not be part of ongoing day to day business.
o Involve notable risk.
o Be significantly impacted upon failure of activities.
Have at least 2 people or elements working together
Q: Project Components ANS 🗹🗹: o Time- Time to complete the project as reflected in
your project schedule.
o Money- Project budget based on cost of the resources.
Scope- Goals and tasks of project and work required to complete them
, Page | 3
Q: Project Steps ANS 🗹🗹: Defining/Initiating, Planning, Doing/Executing, Reviewing,
Monitoring and Controlling
Q: Resource Estimation ANS 🗹🗹: Reference: · Work rates from Page 174 in Battle Book,
Activity Estimation Steps (6 steps).
Q: Standard Effort Equation ANS 🗹🗹: (Quantity) X (Work Rate)
Q: Troop Effort Equation ANS 🗹🗹: (Standard Effort) / (Efficiency)
Q: Duration Equation ANS 🗹🗹: (Troop Effort) / (Crew Size)
Q: Project Equation Table ANS 🗹🗹: Quantity Work Rate Standard Effort Efficiency
Troop Effort Crew Size Duration Remarks
Q: · Node Time Estimate: ANS 🗹🗹: o Forward Pass: (Early Start) + (Duration) = (Early
Finish)
o Backward Pass: (Late Finish) - (Duration) = (Late Start)
Q: Critical Path Characteristics ANS 🗹🗹: o Longest time path through the network
o Has no float
o (Early Start) = (Late Start), (Early Finish) = (Late Finish)
Q: Total Float ANS 🗹🗹: o Total Float (TF): Amount of time an activity can be delayed
without delaying project
TF=LS-ES or TF=LF-EF
Q: Interfering Float (IF) ANS 🗹🗹: o Float which if an activity is delayed, will cause a
delay on one or more activities
