A Management Information System for Bare Base Civil Engineering Commanders
Abstract
The bare base deployment scenario contains some of the most challenging tas ks facing Air Force Civil Engineering today--yet the essential information needed to accomplish this mission is difficult or impossible to manage efficiently during the limited time between notification and the end of the initial beddown stage. The purpose of this research was to determine the feasibility of developing a microcomputer based management information system (MIS) designed for use by the Civil Engineering( CE ) commander during the initial stages of a bare base scenario. Nineteen categories of unclassified information needed by the bare base CE commander were identified from governing regulations, exercise documents, and interviews with CE commanders and MAJCOM planners of past bare base exercises. These categories were evaluated against automation constraints (both hardware and software) to select the software best suited to synthesize four of the categories into a prototype field MIS. Keyword: Management information system, Bare bases, Civil engineering, Data bases, Information retrieval.
