<p>Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) 42 Civil Engineer doctrine states the capability of a nation's Air Force is determined not only by the weapon system and weapon support system but also by the basing system. The basing system includes infrastructure people materiel and information needed to sustain the weapons system and the weapons support system. Thus people specifically the training proficiency of those people is a critical element in determining the Air Force's capability. With the breakup of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact the strategic environment has changed so dramatically the United States military is no longer facing a single enemy. Many individuals also consider the United States the worlds only remaining superpower. Thus US military forces are being deployed with greater frequency to support operations short of war known as Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). When determining the Air Force's capability to support operations across the full spectrum of conflict from war to MOOTW the training proficiency of those forces is important. Of vital concern is the training proficiency of Air Force Civil Engineer (AFCE) Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force (BEEF) personnel. This study attempts to answer three questions regarding training proficiency of AFCE Prime BEEF personnel.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
