Contingency OPS Flashcards
Engineer Support Plans (ESP)
identifies minimum essential facilities &
Engineering capabilities needed to support commitment of military forces
Request for Forces (RFF)
Naval civil engineering force units & individual
Augments must be requested through this process to augment component or Joint Task Force (JTF)
Contingency Planning
performed in continuous cycle that usually
Begins w/ publication of new Contingency Planning Guidance (CPG) & is designed to develop OPLANS, CONPLANS/functional plans to support national military strategy
Crisis Action Planning
based on current events & conducted in time-
Sensitive situations & emergencies using assigned, attached & allocated forces & resources
ABFC
Advance Base Functional Component
NAVFAC P-437 w/ 2 volumes
• List of components, facilities & assemblies
• Drawings
Facilities
civil engineer planners identify facility
Requirements for contingency operations
Real Estate
civil engineer planner consider aspects of
Acquisition &/ leasing real estate in support of engineer operations
Environment
naval civil engineer planers consider effect of
Planning of operations on environment iaw Host Nation agreements; environmental laws & regulations; & US federal, state & local environmental laws & standards
Host Nation Support
unified commanders obtain authority for
Negotiations with HNs through channels of Joint Staff, SecDef&Dept of State
Logistics Support Considerations
Supply Maintenance Transportation General Engineering Health Services Medical Treatment Facilities Medical Evacuations
Initial/Expedient Construction Standards
for facilities construction in tactical environment
When response times are at premium for rapidly deploying engineering resources to limited support locations
Temporary Construction Standards
when locations requires that it extend efficiency
Of operations for use for as long as 24mos & when naval civil engineering forces are required to provide sustained operations
Permanent Construction Standards
supporting stability & security operations for US
Forces w/ increased efficiency for long term sustained operations
3 Types of Engineering Battlespace Functions
General
Combat
Special
Joint Operations
train to know how other service & coalition
Engineers & nongovernmental organizations operate & how naval civil engineering operations fit into joint environment
MPF
Maritime Prepositioning Force
NCF has pre-staged equipment & supplies aboard each Maritime Prepositioning Ship Squadron (MPSRON) to outfit NMCB & NCR in support of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF)
3 forward deployed
Counteracting Restriction to Movement
when unit exceeds ability to maneuver around
Natural & artificial terrain, engineers advise unit commanders about counteracting restrictions to movement in range of operational situations & environments
Operations in Jungle Environment
Wet gap crossing
Forward operating bases
Potable Water
Mapping
Operations in Mountain Environment
Mountain road construction
Stream crossing
Cold Environments
Seabees do not train for this kind of
Environment, however, UCTs do conduct arctic dive training operations.
Desert Environments
complicated by task of providing adequate
Supply of water, increased requirements for camouflage assistance & deception & special problems in field fortifications
Gap Crossing
Seabees do not perform hasty gap crossing
Can perform deliberate gap crossing w/ robust bridging capabilities & pile driving assets
Urban Terrain
Seabees support construction projects in urban
& populated areas even though they are not an offensive force
Joint Forward Operating Base (JFOB)
location should be chosen to make force
Protection easier by making enemy attack more difficult
layout & design should facilitate current ops; have layered security approach; include ECPs tailored for large vehicles; personnel access, military access/combinations; have facilities designed to support incident response & quick reaction; & should include redundant utilities, protected critical assets & accessible protective shelters throughout JFOB
Leach Field
used for sewage treatment processes where
Common sewers are not available
Camp Maintenance & Trouble Desk
receives all trouble calls, enters info in trouble
Desk log & fills out Emergency/Service Authorization (ESA) forms
Facility History Jacket
maintained at trouble desk
3 Categories of Work
Emergency Service Work • Requires immediate action/any minor work requiring less than 16 man-hours Specific Job Order • Work exceeds 16hrs Standing Job Order • Highly repetitive in nature
gg. 3 Categories of Inspection
Control Inspections
• reviews all camp facilities to determine
maintenance required during deployment to preserve condition of camp structures & property.
Annual Inspections
• reports document deficiencies on base facilities
Operator Inspection
• consists of examining, lubricating & making minor adjustments
Potable Water
water suitable for drinking, cooking & personal
Use
Chlorine
presently only widely accepted agent that
Destroys organisms in water & leaves easily detectable residual that serves as indicator of completeness of treatment
Superchlorination
used to disinfect water containers
accomplished by chlorinating water in container/distribution system to at least 100ppm FAC & holding it in container for 4 hrs.
ABFC
Advance Base Functional Component 3 Parts • Component • Facility • Assembly program that displays data at Component, Facility/Group, Assembly/NSN level along w/ associated drawings & allows search by keys/key words
