The 819th Civil Engineering Squadron Heavy Repair has completed the third year of its construction activities, Rapid Runway Repair (RRR), and rapid deployment mission at RAF Wethersfield, United Kingdom. This report discusses many lessons learned while completing training operations in USAFE and how many breakthroughs were accomplished with PSA and why. The primary mission of the 819th CESHR is to provide a RRR and airfield damage repair capbility at USAFE bases throughout the UK. The 819th is also tasked with the classical RED HORSE role of providing a highly mobile, self-sufficient unit capable of performing force beddown, heavy Bomb Damage Repair (BDR), and other engineering support of aircraft operations in a bare base environment. In order to accomplish these tasks, the 819th maintains an active training posture by completing command-directed construction, maintenance and repair training projects throughout USAFE. This training program keeps the squadron personnel proficient in RRR and classical construction skills. The first construction training objective undertaken by the 819th included the beddown of its 400 assigned personnel with accompanying dependents at RAF Wethersfield.
