Air Force Civil Engineers – Who We Are

Air Force Engineers Supporting Air Bases

Air Force Engineers Supporting Joint Community

Contract Support to the Fight – AFCEE / AFCESA

Heavy Construction – The RED HORSE

Growing to Meet the Demand

Air Force Engineers are fully engaged in the GWOT fight,

from sustaining our bases to reconstructing nations.

Projects: Panjshir Provincial Reconstruction Team, Afghanistan

Scope: A combined team of Airmen, Soldiers, U.S. civilians and

Afghans make up this PRT. They support the construction of micro

hydro plants for electricity generation, roads, bridges, wells, schools,

and even a radio station through Task Force Cincinnatus.

Effect: Providing Technical Advice and support to help the Afghans

rebuild their country.

Combat Airmen

“That is a win-win situation, the Afghans have control over

the project and they build it themselves, which instills pride”


Project: Beddown of U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team “Surging” into

Baghdad AOR (Camp Taji, Iraq)

Scope: Bed-down troops, Erect Force Provider DFACs, Construct 8

C2 Facilities, Renovate Detainee Holding Area

Effect: Provided additional work, living and maintenance areas at

Camp Taji to support additional personnel surging into the MND-B

AOR.

A/F pavements, C2 Center, Hospital,

incinerators, vehicle mx, dorms,

Challenges:

Deconflicting Army & AF reqts and

execution methods

Lack of security drove CoE to cut QA

Foreign Nationals live/work on-base

One living compound hit w/ IDF;

contract suspended due to exodus

Contractor plane crash killed 40 Turkish

workers; delayed finish of 3 projects


As of 1 Oct 07: 245 task orders valued at $4.24B have been awarded

17 additional task orders/mods valued at $361M are pending

72% construction complete

AFCEE approach / reasons for success: Cost plus DB contracts to US prime & Iraqi subcontractors

Minimum in-country presence – small AFCEE PM staff, on-site Title II via contract, all CONS from San Antonio

High level of Iraqi involvement:

72% of Title II engineers

91% of construction workers

Fast project execution – parallel planning and construction

Low cost – fee renegotiated semi-annually (currently ~2.5%)

Significant socio-economic impacts

Projects: FOB Hammer Beddown for U.S. Army Combat Brigade

Scope: A combined force of the 557th ERHS and 92nd Engineer

Battalion (US Army) built an entire base camp at a bare base location

(lacking even a water source). $4.5M in construction in 45 days.

Effect: Built 4,000 soldier base camp supporting Operation Enforcing

the Law, known to the media as the "Fardh al-Qanoon," or "Baghdad

Security Plan."

"If you've ever seen Extreme Makeover on TV, that's what it

was like ... only for 4,000 Soldiers instead of just one family"


Validated Warfighter reqt for 40% more HORSE

Active Duty:

Increase by 318 Civil Engineers

Relocate 554th from Korea to Guam

Round-out 819th then spread across all three

Air National Guard:

Round-out of units in OH and PA

Air Force Reserves:

New units at Seymour-Johnson and Charleston

Associate training with Active Duty squadrons
