Moody Air Force Base (AFB) proposes to establish a dedicated training area for USAF contingency engineer training as required by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 10-210. The objective of training at this site would be to develop and maintain a highly skilled, agile military combat support Civil Engineer force capable of rapid response in support of contingency operations throughout the global theater. In addition to training in field deployment, construction, and repair methods typical of Civil Engineer units, this training would also include combat skills proficiency, including personal/work party security, convoy operations, small unit tactics, land navigation, military vehicle operator training, construction of defensive fighting positions, and other similar combat skills. To accomplish this training, a Field Training Exercise/Bivouac (FTX) site would be constructed by removing all vegetation and stumps from the proposed site. The site would be graded and smoothed, and an interior gravel road would be constructed bisecting the area north to south. Concrete slabs would be constructed to serve as the foundation for tents and other structures and equipment that would occur on site. Approximately 40,300 square feet of concrete in various configurations would be constructed on the site. During training events, unit personnel would convoy to the FTX site and set up a bivouac site, consisting of small shelter systems (12-person tents) that would serve as temporary housing for approximately 60 troops during each training event. Combat skill and force protection training would include the use of M16 weapons with 5.56mm blank ammunition and ground burst simulator (GBS) during convoy and force protection training. Combat skill and force protection training would include foot movements of squad-sized forces throughout the Camp Patten area while using blanks and GBS.
