114 CIVIL ENGINEER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (CESE) FUNDAMENTALS
114.1 Discuss the following terms:
- CESE Civil Engineer Support Equipment is industrial equipment that is typically non-
portable Shop equipment costing more than $1,000

Forklifts
- WHE Weight-Handling Equipment (WHE) i.e.
Cranes
d. POL: Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants
.2 Explain the importance of proper operator equipment maintenance and operation.
Proper maintenance is the care given and the work performed to keep vehicles and equipment in safe and serviceable operating condition during their normal service life. Maintenance helps detect minor deficiencies before they lead to costly repairs.
The first sign of vehicle trouble should be detected by the operator during one of the three daily inspections. These inspections occur before, during, and after operations.
During Operation Inspection: The during operation inspection consists of the operator using knowledge of the equipment and his or her senses to detect indications needing attention.
Be aware of the following indications of possible failure:
The smell of burning rubber, grease, or clutches.
The sound of unusual noises.
The unusual fluctuations or readings on instruments and gages.
The feel of drag, pull, or vibration.
The loss of tire air pressure or rocks in the tires.
After operation inspection and service require the operator to first perform proper shutdown procedures.
After shutdown, operators must perform the following actions:
Check equipment cleanliness
Drain air tanks and cover exhaust stacks.
Close doors, windows, and hoods.
Set the brakes and chock wheels.
Block dump beds for draining.
Top off fuel tanks if the tanks are less than one-half Full.
Report any defects on the trouble report.

.3 Explain the procedures in filling out and submitting an operator’ s inspection guide, trouble report (hardcard), and vehicle trip ticket.
Trip Tickets
Motor Vehicle Utilization Record
Used for each item of automotive equipment and trailers on a daily or trip basis.
Commonly called a trip ticket.
Official authorization to operate a vehicle, whether it is driven by the requester or driven by a pool operator.
.4 Explain the difference between organic and augment CESE and how they are
identified.
Organic: basic allowance of equipment approved by the Chief of Naval Operations and published twice a
year as a Naval Facilities Engineering Command notice. Allowance items are selected to provide support in a contingency situation. Organic allowances are not designed to meet every need.
Augment: requested when an assigned project requires more equipment than the organic allowance supplies. Augment CESE is requested by the Commanding Officer or the designated representative from the Commander Third or Second Naval Construction Brigade.
.5 State the purpose of a Standard Form 91.
Obtain and properly spell names and street addresses of persons involved in the mishap and all witnesses to the accident.
Carefully note weather conditions, road conditions, position of the vehicle involved, and other details.
Describe all events of the accident in detail to the point that a person although never having been at the scene, could visualize the accident.
State visible damage, such as "crushed right rear wheel or crumpled fender."
114.6 Explain where you would obtain specific information for operating CESE in extreme environments.
Operating CESE in extreme environments. For specific information on operating CESE in extreme environment you need to refer to the vehicle operators / maintenance manuals.
.7 Describe how to combat-harden personnel carrier vehicle.
Combat hardening a personnel carrier vehicle is accomplished by covering the inside floor of the vehicle with sandbags, removing tarps and bows, and installing a garrot bar
