109.2 Discuss the following levels: [ref. a]
· Level I [p. 1-1]
o Level I construction management is used at the Operations Officer’s (S3) or detail OIC’s level. The primary concern of S3 is management of the unit’s overall tasking. The timeline for a Level I bar chart will show months of the deployment and the line items will be several individual projects.
· Level II [p. 3-1]
o Level II construction management is used at the company level. Each company may have several projects to manage. The easiest way for the company commander to manage these projects is with a Level II bar chart. The timeline for a Level II bar chart will show weeks and the line items will be Master Activities for one individual project.
· Level III [pp. 3-5, 3-6]
.1 Describe the information found on level II: (ref. b.)
General plan for each project. Also called Master Activity Network listing each activities, start and stop dates, man-days expended, WIP% (work in place %), project completion %, compares actual work to scheduled work (job specific)
.2 Describe a typical Level I and how it is generated and updated:
(ref. b.)
General overall picture of the entire deployment. Also called the "Execution Plan" or "Macro Plan" Generated by the entire construction organization. This long term plan is generated by an annual message or a "call for work". Gives very basic and rough estimate of job length in time, and basic scope of work/task to be accomplished. This information comes from tasking messages. Typical plan is for 2-1/2 years.
.3 What are the purposes of the Quality Control and the Project Safety
Plans contained in the project package: (ref. b)
Quality Control will insure that the customer is satisfied, and that only quality construction has occurred. This accountability, fosters and enhances professionalism by utilizing the Total Quality Leadership (TQM) concept.
Project Safety Plan will address specific hazards associated with the individual projects. Listing all safeguards to be implemented, and specific safety training requirements to be met. Specific pieces of safety equipment will also be addressed here.
.4 Describe the duties and responsibilities of the Material Liaison Office (MLO) within the battalion organization: (ref. c, pg. 1-14)
Accountability and inventory of materials, maintains financial records for materials. Also receives materials when delivered, insures they are then properly stored until needed. The MLO insures they are then delivered to the job site as the materials are needed. Also insures that only authorized personnel sign for materials received.
.5 Explain the procedures for receipt and storage of project material
within MLO: (ref. c, appendix A, pg. 6-3)
Received on DD-1114 or appropriate document, sorted and stored appropriately, notes damage or discrepancies upon receipt.
.6 Describe the procedures for issuing project material in MLO: (ref. c,
appendix A, pg. 6-4 & 6-5)
Issued in a logical sequence at appropriate job site, placed in a safe manner, delivered as-needed, signed for at the job site on #1250, by qualified and authorized member of the crew on the job site.
.7 Define the importance in attaining and maintaining complete and accurate Construction Activity Summary Sheets (CASS) for proper project management: (ref. f, pg. 6-8 to 6-15
To help form the detailed activities on the Level II bar charts. Identifies men, equipment, material, QC and safety; also includes environmental issues, for each and every task/job within the total project as a whole. The CASS sheet if properly planed and utilized will prevent any last minute problems or over sites from occurring. Thus preventing or identifying a stop work type of situation before it occurs.
.8 Define the three (3) parts of the ABFC System and explain their relationships:
Volume I contains drawings
Part I - component site plans
Part II- facility drawings
Part III- assembly drawings
Volume II contains data display
Part I- quantifies and describes by DOD category code the facilities requirements for each component.
Part II- quantifies and describes by facility number the requirements by NSN for each assembly within the facility.
Part III- quantifies and describes each individual assembly by line item.
Page 1. Index of components by component number. See "A 3", it is
ADMINISTRATION (Small), site plan 6028167.
Page 2. Shows this component A 3. Giving a description of it's designed use. Lists all FACILITIES that make up this component. For each facilities it lists capacity, qty., weight, cube, value, and man hours to construct. The man hours are then further broken down into skill/ratings. Any utility needs are also listed here.

Page 4. Shows this facility. Giving a description of it's design use. Lists all ASSEMBLY's that make up this facility. For each assembly it lists description, qty., weight, cube, value, and man hours to construct. The man hours are then further broken down into skill/ratings. Any utility needs are also listed here.

Page 6. Shows this assembly 55107. Giving a list of each individual items that make up this assembly. Listing stock number, description, U/I, QTY, weight, cube, value, and any and man hours to construct. The man hours are then further broken down into skill/ratings. Any utility needs are also listed here.
.9 State how many members are to be trained at a battalion level to satisfy the requirements of rapid runway repair (RRR): (ref. d)
U.S. Air Force regulation 93-2 (AFR-93-2) furnishes detailed guidance for rapid runway repair, listing and defining the use of specific equipment, materials, and manpower requirements. Each Naval Mobile Construction Battalion should maintain a minimum of 160 qualified personnel trained in the various facets of Rapid Runway Repair. A portion of each NMCB's homeport training period is dedicated to RRR training.
.10 Describe the duties and responsibilities of a damage assessment team and what type of equipment is necessary to perform their mission under Battle Damage Repair/Rapid Runway Repair (BDR/RRR): (ref. e)
The Naval Construction Force's (NCF's) tasking during war damage repair is to establish and man front line area logistics support facilities by repairing and maintaining those already established, and/or constructed, maintained, and defend new ones. The NCF also repairs damage to Naval Facilities inflicted by military action and render them operational in the shortest possible time.
Tasks that may be assigned to the NCF in the event of conflict or attack are: Airfield structures and runways, petroleum, oil, lubricants (POL) pipelines, fuel storage areas, fleet hospitals, piers or waterfront facilities, railway lines (RR) that support fleet operations, and communication stations. These tasking's may be accomplished using the appropriate repair component found in the Advances Base Functional Component (ABFC).
For example the ABFC P-36 Rapid Runway Repair Component is the functional component used for repairing runways after an attack. It contains the materials and equipment required for repair of bomb craters using specified types of equipment. Such as dozers, front end loaders, motor graders, dump trucks, and water distributors. Provides crushed stone, concrete, traffic surface panels (prefabricated AM-2 matting), on site preparation of fiberglass mats (FRP), or preformed concrete panels. The P-36 is typically provided to an advanced Naval Airbase located in friendly territory. It also accompanies deployed NCF units participating in the seizure, construction, and occupation of an Advanced Naval Airbase.
Typical facility war damage kits would include the following:
- 12100WD War damage repair kit for aircraft fuel stations
- 12400WD War damage repair kit for ready fuel storage
- 12500WD War damage repair kit for POL pipelines
