The Contingency Response Wing headquarters is located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ.

Base Civil Engineering is responsible for inspecting all "real property" on an installation to ensure it meets applicable standards. They are in charge of maintaining and managing the infrastructure and facilities on the base, including conducting regular inspections to ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards. This includes inspecting buildings, utilities, roads, and other physical assets to ensure they are in proper working condition and meet the necessary standards.

The career field 3D0X3, Cyber Surety, is not assigned to engineering installation units. The other three career fields, 3D1X2, Cyber Transport Systems, 3D1X3, RF Transmissions Systems, and 3D1X7, Cable and Antenna Systems, are all associated with engineering installation units.

The question is asking for the capability that is not initially available in the open the airbase force module. The open the airbase force module is likely a system or a group of personnel responsible for managing and securing an airbase. Force Protection, Airfield Operations, and Force Accountability are all essential initial capabilities of the module, as they involve ensuring the safety and security of the airbase and its personnel. On the other hand, Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) is not typically an initial capability of the module, as it specifically deals with the detection and disposal of explosive devices, which may require specialized training and equipment.

The correct answer is 85 Engineering Installation Squadron (EIS). This unit is the only one that has a flight assigned to support a 72-hour rapid response force during a crisis. They provide specialized engineering support in telecommunications and electromagnetic spectrum field analysis.

In this scenario, if the instructions do not provide enough detail to warrant a separate annex, the information on base functional area support would be placed in the Operations Plan (OPLAN) major paragraph. The OPLAN is a comprehensive document that outlines the operational concept, tasks, and responsibilities for a specific operation. Since the information on base functional area support is related to the overall operation, it would be appropriate to include it in the OPLAN major paragraph.

The cost management plan is a component of the project plan. It outlines how project costs will be estimated, budgeted, and controlled throughout the project's lifecycle. This plan includes details on cost estimation techniques, cost baseline, cost control measures, and reporting procedures. It ensures that the project stays within budget and helps in managing financial resources effectively.

A deliverable is the desired outcome, product, or service that is expected to be produced or provided as a result of a project. It is something tangible or measurable that can be delivered to the stakeholders. It represents the end result or goal that the project aims to achieve.

A sole source contract is permissible when there is only one viable option to satisfy the requirement for supplies or services. This means that there is no other supplier or provider available to fulfill the requirement, making the sole source contract the only option. In this case, the contract is awarded directly to the sole source without competition from other potential suppliers or providers.

This helps in maintaining control over the project and ensuring its successful completion.

The RQ-11B Raven is categorized as a small unmanned aerial system (UAS) because it is a lightweight and portable drone that is commonly used for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It is designed to be launched by hand and can provide real-time video and imagery to the operator. The other options mentioned, such as the MQ-9 Reaper, MQ-1B Predator, and RQ-4B Global Hawk, are larger and more advanced unmanned aerial systems that are typically used for long-range missions and have greater capabilities than the RQ-11B Raven.

The Facilities Utilization Board is the correct answer because it is a type of planning meeting that focuses on identifying civil engineering projects such as new construction, renovations, demolition of facilities, and relocation of organizations. This board is responsible for assessing the utilization of existing facilities and making decisions regarding their future use and development.

The maximum distance an extended site can be located from the base Network Control Center Deployed (NCC-D) is 16 km.

The local communications squadron implements the funding option of Self-Help using base level support and resources. Self-Help refers to the practice of using internal resources and capabilities to address funding needs and support projects without relying on external sources. This option allows the squadron to utilize their own resources and expertise to fund and carry out necessary communication initiatives within the base.

Pilot Units develop Logistics Details (LOGDETS) to allow for 30 days of sustainment for Unit Type Codes (UTC). This means that the responsibility of creating and maintaining LOGDETS lies with the pilot units, who are tasked with ensuring that the necessary logistics support is in place for a specified period of time. It is their role to plan and coordinate the logistical requirements to sustain the UTCs effectively.

A concept plan is a type of plan where writers fully develop the mission, situation, and concept of operations for accomplishing an assigned mission in the event of a future situation. However, they only summarize the mobility and logistic requirements. This means that the concept plan focuses more on the overall strategy and approach to achieving the mission, rather than the specific logistical details and requirements.

The AFPC Aerospace Expeditionary Forces (AEF) Center initiates the requirements or deployment sourcing process. This center is responsible for managing and coordinating the deployment of Air Force personnel and resources. They ensure that the necessary requirements for a deployment are identified and sourced, including personnel, equipment, and supplies. By initiating the process, the AFPC AEF Center ensures that all necessary steps are taken to prepare for a deployment and that the appropriate resources are allocated.

The functional area of Work Orders in the Cyberspace Infrastructure Planning System (CIPS) supports enhancements to current capabilities funded and accomplished at the base level in less than 30 days. These enhancements are in the form of a maintenance task order, allowing for efficient and timely improvements to be made to the cyberspace infrastructure. This functional area focuses on the execution and coordination of work tasks, ensuring that necessary upgrades and changes are implemented promptly.

Exceptions that could prevent a system from meeting specified operational requirements are termed "Major." This suggests that there are certain significant issues or problems that can arise in a system, causing it to deviate from the expected operational requirements. These exceptions are of higher importance and may have a significant impact on the system's overall functionality and performance.

All military construction projects require authorization and appropriation from the Secretary of Defense and the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. This means that any construction project related to the military, regardless of its scale or scope, must receive approval and funding from these entities before it can proceed.

In the Initiate Phase, the project manager provides answers, guidance, and education to the project team. This is crucial as it helps to clarify any doubts or questions that team members may have regarding the project. The project manager also provides guidance on the overall direction and goals of the project, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. Additionally, the project manager educates the team on the project's objectives, scope, and any specific requirements that need to be met. This helps to ensure that the project starts off on the right track and that everyone is well-informed and prepared.

It plays a crucial role in managing and controlling the overall operations of the theater in a timely and efficient manner.

The implementing organization is responsible for implementing a technical solution for a base. This means that they are the ones who are in charge of actually putting the solution into action and making it work. They have the necessary knowledge and expertise to carry out the implementation process effectively. The project monitor, project manager, and communications squadron may have their own roles and responsibilities within the project, but it is the implementing organization that takes on the task of implementing the technical solution.

A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing "charge accounts" with qualified sources of supply. This means that instead of going through the procurement process each time a purchase is needed, a BPA allows the buyer to make purchases directly from pre-approved vendors. This streamlines the purchasing process and saves time and effort.

The airbase force module is expected to arrive within 2 days after opening the airbase. The estimated completion of the delivery is 14 days.

The Air and Space Expeditionary Force Reporting Tool (ART) measures the readiness categories of Training, Personnel, and Equipment Condition. The readiness category of Home Station Mission is not measured by ART.

The Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) measures and reports on various areas related to military operations. These areas include training, personnel, and equipment condition. However, facility condition is not measured and reported by SORTS. SORTS primarily focuses on assessing the readiness and availability of personnel and equipment for military operations.

The "full and open competition" stipulation of the Competition in Contracting Act requires that government contracts be awarded through a competitive process. This means that all interested parties have the opportunity to submit bids or proposals for the contract. However, the unit commander's interest is not an exception to this stipulation. This means that even if the unit commander has a specific interest or preference for a particular contractor, the contract still needs to go through the competitive process to ensure fairness and transparency.

The AF Form 1067 is a document used to define, validate, and approve requirements for both temporary and permanent modifications. This means that it is used to establish and authorize changes or alterations to equipment, systems, or processes that can be either temporary or permanent in nature. The form ensures that these modifications are properly evaluated, assessed for safety, and approved before implementation.

A supporting plan is prepared in support of the contingency plans when tasked by the supported combatant commander. This plan is designed to provide assistance and resources to the main contingency plans, ensuring their successful execution. It outlines the specific actions, resources, and support needed to achieve the objectives of the contingency plans. The supporting plan works in conjunction with the main plans, helping to address any gaps or challenges that may arise during the execution of the contingency plans.

The correct answer is "Joint force/capability." This type of Joint Expeditionary Tasking (JET) tasking involves one service providing a force or capability to fulfill the core mission of another service. It allows for the seamless integration and cooperation between different services within a joint force, ensuring that the mission is effectively carried out even if one service is unable to provide their own capabilities.

The given options are all potential causes for requirements to be considered special, except for the one that states "Requires additional funding". While the other options suggest factors that could make requirements unique or different from standard ones, the need for additional funding does not necessarily make a requirement special. Many requirements may require additional funding without being considered special.

T-2 temporary modification evaluates, demonstrates, or exercises the technical performance, operational effectiveness, and/or the operational suitability of developmental and/or test material (hardware, firmware, and software) capabilities. This type of modification is specifically designed for temporary use and is meant to assess the performance and effectiveness of the material being tested. It allows for modifications to be made and tested without permanently altering the original material.

A Time and Material contract is used when the acquisition of supplies or services is based on direct labor hours at specific fixed hourly rates. This type of contract is commonly used when the scope of work is uncertain or when it is not possible to determine a firm fixed price. It allows for flexibility in adjusting the quantity of labor and materials required based on the actual needs of the project.

The force module that contains support forces that would generally not arrive until 30 days after the deployed location is established is "Robust the Airbase." This suggests that the process of robusting the airbase involves bringing in additional support forces after the initial establishment of the deployed location. These support forces are not immediately available but are expected to arrive within 30 days to further strengthen and enhance the operations of the airbase.

The Time and Material contract should only be used when it is impossible to accurately estimate the extent or duration of the work or anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of accuracy. This type of contract allows for flexibility in terms of the scope of work and the costs involved, as it is based on the actual time spent on the project and the materials used. It is commonly used in situations where the requirements may change or evolve over time, making it difficult to determine a fixed price or timeline for the project.

The responsible party for assigning competent and capable functional experts as primary and alternate Contract Officer Representatives (COR) is the Functional Director/Commander. This individual is in charge of overseeing the specific functional area and has the authority to designate the CORs who will be responsible for managing and overseeing the contract on behalf of the contracting office.

Deliberate Planning is the correct answer because it involves developing predetermined responses to potential crises, determining the forces required to achieve objectives, preparing deployment plans, and continually evaluating selected courses of action. This process is typically used for long-term planning and is characterized by thorough analysis and consideration of various factors before making decisions.
