SOLVED 100% CORRECT!!
Define: General Engineering Answer - Those engineering capabilities and
activities, other than combat engineering, that modify, maintain, or protect the
physical environment.
Examples include: the construction, repair, maintenance, and operation of
infrastructure, facilities, lines of communication and bases; terrain modification
and repair; and selected explosive hazards activities.
(ATP 3-34.40 General Engineering)
Base Camp Principles Answer - Scalability:
- ability to tolerate population fluctuations and incorporate changes in the base
camp mission, level of services, or force protection level, without the need for
redesign.
Sustainability:
- ability to maintain the necessary level and duration of sustainment/logistics
support to achieve military objectives.
Standardization:
- The Standardization of base camp policies, Service standards, guidance,
system solutions, standard designs, and construction provides consistent
expectations for commanders and drives the repetitive use of proven best
practices and TTP
Survivability:
,- A primary purpose of base camps is providing a protected location from which
to project and sustain combat power.
Types of Base Camps Answer - Base: A locality from which operations are
projected or supported (JP 3-10)
Base Camp: A base camp is an evolving military facility that supports the
military operations of a deployed unit and provides the necessary support and
services for sustained operations.
Intermediate Staging Base: A tailorable, temporary location used for for staging
forces, sustainment, and/or extraction into and out of an operational area.
Forward Operating Base: An area used to support tactical operations without
establishing full support facilities
Base Camp Duration Answer - Phase: Contingency
• Organic - Up to 90 Days
• Initial - Up to 6 months
• Temporary - Up to 5 years
• Semi permanent - 2-10 years
Phase: Enduring
• Permanent - 5 years or longer
, Base Camp Life Cycle Answer - Planning and Design
Construction
Operations
Transfer & Closure
USACE Contingency Elements (UCE) Answer - 1. FEST-A or RT (Forward
Engineer Support Team-Advance or Reconnaissance Team)
2. Advanced Echelon (ADVON) Team
3. Contingency Engineer District (CED)
Types of Technical Reconnaissance Answer - Infrastructure Assessment and
Reconnaissance: Think SWEAT-MSO. Sewage, Water, Electricity, Academics,
Trash, Medical, Safety, Other Considerations
Environment Assessment: focused on collecting technical information on
existing environmental conditions and identifying areas that are
environmentally sensitive or of relative environmental concern.
Airfield Assessment: An airfield assessment is conducted to collect detailed
technical information on selected airfields and heliports. The information
collected can be used to determine the airfield operating capacity and to
estimate resources for repair or upgrade of the airfield and its supporting
facilities.
