<P>24The Military Engineer L January-February L 2010 we can, said Capt. David Conley, USA, Plans Of?cer for the 65th Engineer Bat- talion. By having a constant partner- ship with the 12th FER, we can maxi- mize our efforts more ef?ciently and achieve the most success. This facility enables our two units to plan, command and control, and synchronize engineer operations, ex- plained Col. Petersen. It provides a lo- cation to bring together the operational picture that U.S. and IA engineers have. (Contributed by Pfc. Justin Naylor, USA, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division Public Affairs) Seabee Surveyors Make the Unknown Known In the area of southern Afghanistan referred to by locals as the desert of death, Navy engineering aides gather their surveying equipment and trek across the hot sand. Their mission is to provide Naval Mobile Construction Bat- talion (NMCB) 74 with an accurate rep- resentation of the topography of Camp Leathernecks expansion site and layout future roads. Without the vital information pro- vided through a topographical survey, it would be impossible to correctly form the foundations for the facilities that will comprise NMCB-74s new working space or to construct roads. The new Seabee camp at Camp Leatherneck in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan will occupy 21 acres with a main road more than 7,000-ft long. The elevations for the foundations, referred to as pads, the slope of the area for drainage and the shape of the road were all determined by the Operations Department before the survey began. Surveying the expansion site was the ?rst step in the actual building process after the planning phase was completed. The Operations Department de- cides what elevation everything will be, the slope or what the pad elevation will be, and then we take it from there. That way the equipment operators know how much to cut or ?ll, said Spc. Joel Quin- tanilla, USA, a survey team member assigned to the 655th Concrete Team, 19th Engineer Battalion. In an area full of unknowns, the one thing the engineering aides require to begin their work is what is referred to as a known point. Fortunately, a group of civilian surveyors working in an adjoin- ing area of the expansion were able to provide a couple of known points. Its great that we have the civilians telling us where the known points are. That way we can go off something that they have as a reference as opposed to going off of nothing, said Spc. Quin- tanilla. Preparation for the survey begins in the of?ce, setting up electronics. With a minimum of two known points and the camp layout diagram, coordinates are entered into a Trimble S-6 control- ler. The process may sound simple, but the fact is that these Seabees were Military News (continued) Remediation of Radium Sites, NJ New BX Shopping Center, Andersen AFB, Guam Trinity River Flood Control and Ecosystem Restoration, Ft.
