Project Management, Airfield, Bridging - ECCC GE Exam
2021
· Purpose of GE Module: Develop officers with ability to
plan and generate General Engineering effects in
GE101: Introduction to General
Engineering 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.
o Defense- Continuously conducted to harden and
prepare positions, facilities, installations
o Offense- Providing assured mobility of forces from
· GE is utilized in support of:
ports of debarkation to forward AOs
o Stability- Focus is likely GE capabilities applied to
restore essential services and support infrastructure
development
Geospatial supports vertical and horizontal construction
· Engineer Reconnaissance Is NOT a FORM of
reconnaissance. The forms are route, zone, area,
reconnaissance in force, and special.

-Unsurfaced
-Located anywhere in T/O, mostly in areas that sustain close
combat
· Heliport Categories: Initial -Little or no construction effort
-May not meet desired safety criteria
-Hazardous, inefficient and limited to good weather and visibility
-No estimated service life
-Service Life is 1-4 weeks
-Normally Semi-Prepared/Unsurfaced
-Designed for
· Heliport Categories: Assault
-Observation aircraft
Heliport
-Utility Aircraft
-Attack Aircraft
-Service life is 1-6 months
-Semi-Prepared/Unsurfaced
-Variety of matting/membranes
-Designed for
-Observation aircraft
Area of Operations Heliport -Utility aircraft
-Attack aircraft
-Cargo aircraft

specific goal.
o Not be part of ongoing day to day business.
o Involve notable risk.
· A project will:
o Be significantly impacted upon
failure of activities. Have at least 2
people or elements working
together
o Time- Time to complete the project as reflected in your project
Project Components schedule.
o Money- Project budget based on cost of the resources.
Scope- Goals and tasks of project and work required to complete
