PROJECT MANAGEMENT, AIRFIELD,
BRIDGING - ECCC GE EXAM WITH 100
CORRECT SOLUTIONS
GE101: Introduction to General Engineering - ANSWER-· Purpose of GE Module:
Develop officers with ability to plan and generate General Engineering effects in support
of the maneuver commander during ULO
· Definition of GE: Those engineering capabilities and activities other than combat
engineering that modify, maintain, or protect the physical environment.
· GE is utilized in support of: - ANSWER-o Defense- Continuously conducted to harden
and prepare positions, facilities, installations
o Offense- Providing assured mobility of forces from ports of debarkation to forward
AOs
o Stability- Focus is likely GE capabilities applied to restore essential services and
support infrastructure development
Geospatial - ANSWER-supports vertical and horizontal construction
GE104: Engineer Reconnaissance - ANSWER-· Engineer Reconnaissance Is NOT a
FORM of reconnaissance. The forms are route, zone, area, reconnaissance in force,
and special.
· USACE Contingency Elements (UCE): Forward Support Team Advance (FEST-A),
Reconnaissance Team (RT), Advanced Echelon (ADVON) Team, Contingency
Engineer District (CED).
· Technical Reconnaissance vs. Tactical Reconnaissance
GE105: Planning Construction Operations - ANSWER-Projects come from requestor
(unit or installation entity) identifies a need which can be met by engineer support
MDMP in Construction Planning 1 of 2 - ANSWER-o MDMP Step 1: Receive Mission->
Understand what you actually need to do. Gather tools, time analysis, higher intent,
shortfalls, Excess. Do not overlook geospatial.
o MDMP Step 2: Mission Analysis-> Compile analysis into one effort. Involve BDE S2
Geospatial cell
MDMP in Construction Planning 2 of 2 - ANSWER-o MDMP Step 3-6: COA
development, COA analysis, COA comparison, COA approval
o MDMP Step 7: Rehearsals
Real Estate - ANSWER-The overall collection of property
, When planning construction operations also account for...? - ANSWER-· Protection
Considerations, Sustainment Considerations...
MDMP COA development produces what? - ANSWER-· different designs to meet the
commander's intent.
GE107: Project Management - ANSWER-Is application of knowledge, skills, and
resources to accomplish activities that are intended to achieve a specific goal.
· A project will: - ANSWER-o Not be part of ongoing day to day business.
o Involve notable risk.
o Be significantly impacted upon failure of activities.
Have at least 2 people or elements working together
Project Components - ANSWER-o Time- Time to complete the project as reflected in
your project schedule.
o Money- Project budget based on cost of the resources.
Scope- Goals and tasks of project and work required to complete them
Project Steps - ANSWER-Defining/Initiating, Planning, Doing/Executing, Reviewing,
Monitoring and Controlling
Resource Estimation - ANSWER-Reference: · Work rates from Page 174 in Battle
Book, Activity Estimation Steps (6 steps).
Standard Effort Equation - ANSWER-(Quantity) X (Work Rate)
Troop Effort Equation - ANSWER-(Standard Effort) / (Efficiency)
Duration Equation - ANSWER-(Troop Effort) / (Crew Size)
Project Equation Table - ANSWER-Quantity Work Rate Standard Effort Efficiency Troop
Effort Crew Size Duration Remarks
· Node Time Estimate: - ANSWER-o Forward Pass: (Early Start) + (Duration) = (Early
Finish)
o Backward Pass: (Late Finish) - (Duration) = (Late Start)
Critical Path Characteristics - ANSWER-o Longest time path through the network
o Has no float
o (Early Start) = (Late Start), (Early Finish) = (Late Finish)
Total Float - ANSWER-o Total Float (TF): Amount of time an activity can be delayed
without delaying project
TF=LS-ES or TF=LF-EF
