Mojave Jack said:Whoops! Sorry, IndyCop, that wasn't a come on! :eusa_doh: I meant to address that question to AirForceIndy! Prime Beef (Base Engineer Emergency Force) are Air Force Civil Engineers that specialize in bare base operations, setting up everything necessary to get an airfield up and running from nothing to fully functional in -- what AirForceIndy?-- about 45 minutes? Ok, that's exaggerating, but darn quick. There are also RED HORSE units that specialize in heavy construction, but they generally wear a red hat. AirForceIndy's hat has the CE skill badge on it, but it's black so I thought he might be Prime Beef.
OK, glad we got that cleared up! lol
...mobilize and set up bare base in a remote location in under 72 hours No, unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to be on one of those teams, or a RED HORSE (Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operator... something-something, I hate all the acronyms in the military!:rage: ) unit. I have deployed with RED HORSE to A-Stan in '04, but other than that I've been just regular-ol' base CE for 6 years in the electric shop. What's your background?
