Training Civil Engineering Enlisted Personnel Past, Present and Future

Abstract

No single anthology could hope to capture all of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs experienced in training Civil Engineering enlisted personnel to meet the monumental challenges they have faced. Numerous sources were explored to determine the legacy the Army left the Air Force in 1947 and the lessons learned from the way training programs were developed afterwards. The methods used to ensure current training programs meet the needs of the enlisted force are detailed. Sources of indicators and predictors of future education and training issues are presented. This research has shown light on the diversity of past training experiences, touted the adequacies of present programs, and provided a bench mark for future projections. Total involvement by Civil Engineering senior management in ensuring training resources are provided in sufficient quantity to properly prepare the enlisted force has been the major factor in successful projection of airpower in the past. Continuation of this level of involvement will ensure future success, no matter what the technological or mission changes entail. Keywords: Military training, Civil engineers, Education.
