CE Readiness
Abstract
This project provides capabilities to rapidly deploy, defend and sustain airfield operations, command and control activities, and force protection to ensure readiness. These activities are prerequisites to establishing air superiority. Also, this project provides crucial utilities, runway stabilization and repair, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), rescue and recovery aids; and security and reconnaissance capabilities to support global aircraft deployment, employment, recovery and regeneration. Lighter-weight, rapidly deployable equipment has become essential in providing the ability to quickly establish operations, security, and base defense in support of numerous global contingencies, including Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, various humanitarian/relief efforts, and special operations throughout the world. The Civil Engineering Readiness program is in RDT&E Budget Activity 5 - Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) because it supports development, test, and evaluation of materials and equipment for contingency basing, detection and handling of explosive ordnance, and tactical shelters.
