<P>88The Military Engineer l May-June l 2010 • awarding and managing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act proj- ects; and • assisting the people of Haiti to return to normalcy after a devastating earth- quake. With NAVFACs continuing elevated workload, we are striving to become more agile and ?exible, with a focus on meeting the needs of the Depart- ment of the Navy and Department of Defense agencies. In 2010, NAVFAC will continue to enhance war?ghter readi- ness with emphasis upon expeditionary force support, engineering contingency response, high-quality and sustainable facilities, energy security initiatives, and environmental stewardship. Seabees In response to President Barack Obamas increase in U.S. forces in Af- ghanistan, the 1st Naval Construction Division deployed two additional Sea- bee battalions to Afghanistan, bringing the total force in Afghanistan to one regiment and four battalions. Their mission is to provide infrastructure such as bases, berthing facilities, roads and air?elds for the additional force ?ow in support of Afghanistan opera- tions. In addition to the many logistical challenges, the accelerated deployment of these two units required adjust- ments to the deployment schedules of all Seabee units. Most deployment tour lengths will be increased and homeport periods shortened to meet the require- ment. The Seabees demonstrated their proven ability to respond to natural disasters when a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti in January, causing massive loss of life. Seabees from Underwater Con- struction Team 1, Construction Battal- ion Maintenance Unit 202 and Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7 de- ployed to the region, providing Joint Task Force Port Opening with the engineering resources necessary to repair the port, construct tent camps and recover American remains at Hotel Montana. Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 also provided the capability to of?oad equipment and containers onto lighterage systems for transfer to the beach or their ?oating causeway. Humanitarian assistance is a key pil- lar of the maritime strategy. As they have done for many years, Seabees provide a wide range of humanitarian assistance around the world, supporting Uni?ed Commanders engagement strategies to help win the hearts and minds of peo- ple and nations for the cause of democ- racy and peace. During the past year, Seabees supported Joint Task Force Horn of Africa, constructing schools and clinics in Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Comoros, and bringing water to a drought-stricken region by drilling water wells in Kenya. Expeditionary Support NAVFAC supports the Navy Expe- ditionary Combat Command, Naval Beach Groups and other Navy Expe- ditionary Forces ashore with logistics planning and equipment acquisition. NAVFAC is currently developing tables of allowance (TOA) for new ex- peditionary units and refreshing TOAs for established units. NAVFAC also en- sures that Navy forces supporting over- seas contingency operations continue to receive state-of-the-art equipment, including Mine Resistant Ambush Pro- tected All Terrain Vehicles. Addition- ally, units deploying to Afghanistan will bene?t from implementation of an ag- gressive up-armoring effort for tactical vehicles and construction equipment, ensuring personnel receive optimal protection while carrying out assigned missions in hostile environments. Right Bases, Right Time, Right Costs NAVFACs asset management special- ists are fully engaged in support of the Marine Corps Installations 2020 plan, and the Defense Installations Strategic Plan. Working with the Commander, Naval Installations Command, NAVFAC devel- ops Global Shore Infrastructure Plans and Global Functional Plans that out- line the capabilities and challenges of our operating forces and the shore es- tablishment that serves them. Through regional and installation planning, we have challenged conventional think- ing and developed innovative solutions for the Navys shore infrastructure. NAVFAC is institutionalizing sustain- ability in the shore plans, ensuring that energy conservation, renewable energy usage, green transportation modes and innovative treatment of water and wastewater systems from the beginning of infrastructure management are fully integrated. The Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) program in?uences the design of new Navy weapons systems. ILS takes a lifecycle total ownership cost approach by identifying potential infrastructure costs and impacts of new weapons platforms. The ILS program has suc- cessfully instituted design changes that signi?cantly reduced infrastructure costs with no impact to weapons sys- tem performance. Real estate management has be- come a top priority for the Navy, which seeks to reduce total ownership costs through footprint reduction and the innovative uses of real property. NAVFACs realty specialists are heavily involved in land and facility acquisi- tions through purchase and leases, as well as disposal of excess property. A particular challenge for real estate is acquiring the land in Guam necessary to support the relocation of the Ma- rines from Japan, and other land acqui- sitions for the Marine Corps Grow the Force initiative. Some of these realty specialists were also among the ?rst to land in Haiti to provide earthquake re- lief, negotiating leases on behalf of the joint task group forces. NAVFAC is implementing enhanced use leasing (EUL) projects throughout the Navy to leverage the value of under- utilized properties, with more than 15 major EUL projects in various stages of implementation. Encroachment man- agement, including the innovative En- croachment Partnering Program, con- tinues to ensure naval installations can operate as intended. Capital Improvements With a multi-billion dollar construc- tion workload in a challenging economic environment, NAVFAC is working hard to ensure its acquisition strategies are focused on ?exibility and creativity to meet this challenge. Current economic conditions are dynamic and differ from </p> <UL><LI><a href="http://www.stallionpublishers.com/publication/541/uchvgbhoy/1/1/">Front-Cover</a></LI> <LI><a
