CharterPURPOSE- The Facility Engineer Advisory Council (FEAC) advises the Chief, Installations Division of the National Guard Bureau (NGB) on pertinent installation management issues that effect the 50 states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia in accomplishing the facilities mission.

OBJECTIVE- To focus assets and time to identify the most important problems and then concentrate our resources to solving those issues first.



CharterRESPONSIBILITIES- Each FEAC Area representative raises issues of state and national importance which cannot be solved at the local level. Issues are developed by Area FEAC members and raised to the National FEAC. Issues brought to the National FEAC will be discussed by the members to determine if they merit resolution as a national issue. If an issue can be solved by education or training, this is normally done through information papers from the NGB proponent.

BASOPS Funding

• FY 03 funded at approximately 50% of requirement

• “Fence” on SRM funding • MS Wylie proposing “national” migration from

SRM• Migration hurts ability to retain SRM funding• Recommend - emphasis on programming adequate

BASOPS (QDPW) funding



Database Fidelity

• Cooperation from all offices on ASIP• Understanding that TROUPERS feeds ASIP • ASIP transient training numbers drive MILCON

requirements for transient training facilities• RFMSS also plays into these requirements• Recommend: All directorates emphasize complete

and timely database submissions.



Manpower Issues• Insufficient technician manning• State FTEs difficult to impossible - RPOM-PAS• Ability to fill vacancies with qualified personnel• Equity to incumbents - Access to “old” positions

varies • CFMO position grading (GS-14)

– Increased level of supervision (5 GS-12s)

– Complexity of financial transactions

– Credit for RPOM-PAS ILO Fed Techs (GS-13 level)



SRM to MILCON

• SRM is migrated in the POM• SRM was migrated (and replaced) for FY 04• SRM is adequate for the first time ever• Migration monitored by Congress



Lead Swipe Testing

• No staff coordination• No known health threat• Potential disaster for the states• Potential huge hit for SRM• Minnesota “scared” into cleaning one armory

– $300,000 all state funds

• Multiply by number of armories
