WMGT 101- Phase 1
What is the purpose of Air Force engineers? - correct answer ✔Support the
projection of airpower by opening, defending, operating, sustaining,
recovering and closing (when necessary) AF installations
What is the key factor in the success of the Aviation Engineers in WWII? -
correct answer ✔One centralized command under the AF, helped to
construct and maintain airfields during the war
What were the limitations & lessons learned from the SCARWAF program? -
correct answer ✔-Butting heads between Army and AF engineers, led to less
effective engineering during the Korean War.
-Leftover eqpmt., poor training, less capable troops.
-Lesson Learned: Air Force needed aviation engineers and specialists in
airfield building
What was the rationale behind the creation of Prime BEEF and RED HORSE?
- correct answer ✔-No rapid response capability for contingencies during
Vietnam War
-Prime BEEF created (1964), peacetime engineers deploy in support of
contingencies.
REDHORSE created (1965), organic rapid response, heavy construction
repair capability
How did the Salty Demo exercise impact the Civil Engineer organization? -
correct answer ✔-Salty Demo was a realistic exercise to test air base
survivability under heavy attack, BRAAT (base repair after attack) and runway
repair tactics.
-Response: EOD & Readiness/ Disaster Preparedness added to CES -->
increased damage assessment capabilities & restoration during attack
,Why did the Air Force disagree with the recommendations of DMRD 967? -
correct answer ✔-AF needed airfield engineers --> different
requirements/skills/mission than Army/Navy engineers
-Not enough Civil Engineers
-Cost effectiveness shouldn't impact quality & responsiveness (decreasing
required manpower)
How did the lessons learned from WWII shape the CE organization during
Operation Enduring Freedom? - correct answer ✔-Centralized command of
all AF engineers under one engineer command, directly responsible to the Air
Force Commander
-Determine what is needed to accomplish the mission --> retract the engineers
after completion and send to next needed location
What is the principle of Air Force Civil Engineer doctrine? - correct answer
✔-Doctrine consists of fundamental principles by which military forces guide
their actions in support of national objectives. It constitutes official advice but
requires judgment in application.
-Doctrine is the "why" or a guide to action, developed from lessons learned
and experience from history
What are the 3 steps of doctrine? - correct answer ✔1. Policy:
-Directive guidance stating what is to be accomplished.
-Sets the left and right boundaries for doctrine and strategy.
2. Strategy:
-How to apply available capabilities.
-The application of available capabilities
3. Doctrine:
-How you organize and employ capabilities
, -Fundamental principles that guide the militaries actions.
-Agreed upon, operationally relevant body of best practices and principles.
How is the Air Force Civil Engineer enterprise organized to deliver engineer
capabilities? - correct answer ✔Prime BEEF: expeditionary engineering,
emergency services, establish, sustain, repair bases
REDHORSE: heavy construction capability, self sufficient
What are the three CE Core Functions? - correct answer ✔1. General
Engineering:
-Planning; construction; infrastructure repair and maintenance; protection of
natural & cultural resource
2. Geospatial Engineering:
-Map production; precision surveying; geospatial data mgt; facility &
infrastructure spt; force beddown analysis
3. Installation Support and Services:
-Real property life cycle mgt.; utilities; cybersecurity, Fire, EOD, EM
What are the core competencies of Prime BEEF? - correct answer ✔-Prime
Base Engineer Emergency Force
1. Expeditionary engineering:
-Force beddown; Light construction; Modification; Maintenance and repair;
Operations; Planning and design; Base recovery.
2. Emergency Services:
-Fire Emergency Services (FES); Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD);
Emergency Management (EM)
What are the core competencies of RED HORSE? - correct answer ✔-Rapid
Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer
