Air Force Civil Engineer Mission

Provide, operate, and maintain installations, infrastructure, and facilities necessary to create and sustain responsive, persistent and effective combat

perations on a global basis. Civil engineer forces

support contingency operations by providing engineer support capabilities to employ, protect, sustain, and recover forces to meet Air Force and Joint taskings.

How do we do this mission?

 Prime BEEF  In-garrison/Base Operational Support  10-12 short tons  29,000 Airmen in Total Force  RED HORSE  Heavy construction/Outside the Wire  3,000+ short tons  Self-Sustaining Capability  3,000 Airmen in the Total Force  Contract Support  AFCEE / AFCESA

Prime BEEF and RED HORSE provide a full spectrum

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.

 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
