GE CCC EXAM UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Define: General Engineering - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Planning and Design
Construction
Operations
Transfer & Closure
USACE Contingency Elements (UCE) - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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.
Route Classification: Route reconnaissance is normally a combat engineer task. Route classification is
normally a GE task. Executing a route classification is executed as hasty or deliberate.
Types of Tactical Reconnaissance - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Bridge Reconnaissance
• Bridge Site Reconnaissance:
access and approach roads, widths, banks, flow characteristics, stream bottoms, elevations, materials.
• Existing Bride: determine whether the situation warrants emplacing a tactical, support, or LOC bridge.
Route Reconnaissance
• The information from route reconnaissance supports route selection decisions. Classified as hasty or
deliberate.
• Hasty route reconnaissance determines the immediate military trafficability of a specified route.
• A deliberate route reconnaissance is conducted when sufficient time and qualified technical personnel
are available.
Obstacle Reconnaissance
