Q

Define “Contingency Planning”

A

Contingency planning is performed in a continuous cycle that usually begins with the publication of a new Contingency Planning Guidance (CPG) and is designed to develop joint OPLANs, CONPLANs (with and without Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data {TPFDD}), or functional plans to support the national military strategy. It is heavily based on assumptions regarding the political and military circumstances that will exist when the plan is implemented.

Q

Define “Crisis Action Planning (CAP)”

A

CAP is based on current events and conducted in time-sensitive situations and emergencies using assigned, attached, and allocated forces and resources. Crisis action planners base their plan on the actual circumstances that exist at the time planning occurs and, where possible, an existing OPLAN.

Q

Define “ABFC

A

Advanced Base Functional Components. The ABFC system, known as the NAVFAC P-437, has two volumes. The first volume is a list of components, facilities, and assemblies. The second volume contains drawings. It includes standard designs, bills of material, weight, cube, construction man-hour analysis, and fuel requirements. NAVFAC publishes the ABFC system electronically in CD-ROM format or at http://abfcview.navfac.navy.mil/desk1000.cfm.

Q

Discuss “Host Nation Support (HNS)” as it relates to General Engineering planning tools and considerations.

A

Unified commanders obtain authority for negotiations with HNs through channels of the Joint Staff, the SecDef, and the Department of State. Marine Corps and Seabee engineer planners identify requirements for HNs and forward their requests through the commander, joint task force (CJTF) or the service component commanders to the unified commander

Q

When are Initial/Expedient construction standards used?

A

Naval civil engineering forces apply the initial/expedient construction standard for facilities construction in a tactical environment when response times are at a premium for rapidly deploying engineering resources to limited support locations.

Q

When are Temporary construction standards used?

A

Naval civil engineering forces apply the temporary construction standard for facilities construction when a location requires that it extend the efficiency of operations for use for as long as 24 months and when the naval civil engineering forces are required to provide sustained operations. When mission requirements dictate, the temporary construction standard replaces the initial/expedient construction standard.

Q

Discuss the Naval Civil Engineers role in Joint Operations

A

Naval civil engineering forces train to know how other service and coalition engineers and nongovernmental organizations operate, and how naval civil engineering operations fit into the joint environment.

A

3

19
Q

Discuss Naval Civil Engineer’s role in Counteracting Restriction to Movement

A

When a unit exceeds the ability to maneuver around natural and artificial terrain, engineers advise unit commanders about counteracting restrictions to movement in a range of operational situations and environments. In their evaluation, engineers consider the unit’s tactical situation, mission assignment, operational environment, engineering capabilities, and equipment availability. They weigh the impact of the tactical situation on engineer tactics, required equipment, and speed of mission accomplishment in order to formulate recommendations to the unit commander.

20
Q

What operations can Civil Engineers perform in a jungle environment?
Jungle road construction

A

Wet gap crossing
Forward operating bases
Potable water
Mapping

21
Q

What operations can Civil Engineers perform in a mountain environment?
Jungle road construction

A

Mountain road construction
Stream crossing

22
Q

What factors should be considered for operation in cold environments?

A

Seabees do not train for this type of environment; however, UCTs do conduct arctic dive training operations. Seabees would need to be outfitted with cold weather gear. CESE and tool kits would need to be outfitted with special fuel and petroleum, oil and lubricants additives to function successfully in this environment.

23
Q

What factors should be considered for operation in desert environments?

A

Operations in the desert is complicated by the task of providing an adequate supply of water, increased requirements for camouflage assistance and deception, and special problems in field fortifications.

24
Q

Discuss the Seabee’s capabilities in gap crossing.

A

Seabees do not perform hasty gap crossing. Seabee can perform deliberate gap crossing with robust bridging capabilities and pile driving assets

25
Q

Discuss the Seabee’s role in supporting military operations in urban terrain.

A

Seabees support construction projects in urban and populated areas even though they are not an offensive force. The presence of population and man-made construction complicates MOUT. The number of Seabees training in MOUT continues to increase.

26
Q

Discuss Joint Forward Operating Base (JFOB) site location considerations.

A

The location of a JFOB should be chosen to make force protection easier by making an enemy attack more difficult. Planners can facilitate this effort by first conducting a terrain analysis for a proposed JFOB. This analysis should consider the military aspects of a location from the standpoints of both the defenders and the enemy. Terrain analysis considerations include: Key terrain, Observation and fields of fire, Cover and concealment, Obstacles. Avenues of approach (KOKOA).

27
Q

Discuss Joint Forward Operating Base (JFOB) site layout considerations.

A

The layout and design of a JFOB should facilitate current operations; have a layered security approach; include ECPs tailored for large vehicles, personnel access, military access, or combinations; have facilities designed to support incident response and quick reaction; and should include redundant utilities, protected critical assets, and accessible protective shelters throughout the JFOB.

28
Q

What is the minimum distance between a latrine and messing facilities?

A

Latrines must be 100 yards from messing facilities.

29
Q

What is the minimum distance between a latrine and water supplies?

A

Latrines must be 100 yards from water supplies.

30
Q

What is the usual distance between a garbage pits and messing facilities?

A

Garbage pits are usually not more than 30 yards from mess areas.

31
Q

What is the minimum distance between a garbage pits and water supplies?

A

Garbage pits are not less than 100 yards from water supplies.

32
Q

What is the purpose of a leach field?

A

Leaching fields are used for sewage treatment processes where common sewers are not available

33
Q

Discuss the function of the camp maintenance trouble desk.

A

The trouble desk attendant receives all customer trouble calls, enters this information into the trouble desk log and fills out Emergency/Service Authorization (ESA) forms. The attendant makes sure that ESA forms are properly routed and that outstanding ESAs are completed within the required deadlines. Normally, all facility history jackets are maintained at the trouble desk.

34
Q

Where is a facility’s history jacket maintained?

A

The trouble desk

35
Q

Describe the three categories of work that camp maintenance is responsible for.

A

Emergency Service Work- Requires immediate action or any minor work requiring less than 16 man-hours
Specific Job Order- Work that exceeds 16 hours
Standing Job Order- Work that is highly repetitive in nature

36
Q

Define “Potable Water”

A

Water suitable for drinking, cooking, and personal use

37
Q

Describe why chlorine is the preferred water purification method.

A

Chlorine is presently the only widely accepted agent that destroys organisms in the water and leaves an easily detectable residual that serves as an indicator of the completeness of treatment

38
Q

What is the purpose of super-chlorination?

A

The super-chlorination process is used to disinfect water containers.

39
Q

Describe the super-chlorination process.

A

Super-chlorination is accomplished by chlorinating the water in a container or distribution system to at least 100 ppm FAC and holding it in the container for 4 hours. During the 4-hour period, the FAC must not drop below 50 ppm.

40
Q

Define “ABFC”

A

Advance Base Functional Component

41
Q

Discuss the three parts of the ABFC system.

A

Component A complete unit
Facility A portion of a complete Component
Assembly A portion of a facility
