    Engineering Tasks
      
      The beddown of deploying people and aircraft was one of the
      civil engineered primary wartime tasks. In force beddown'
      engineers provided the minimum expedient facilities necessary for
      deployed units to become operationally ready and to survive enemy
      attack. The amount of effort varied according to the number of
      forces to beddown' the mission, and the existing base
      infrastructure. The engineers taskings upon arrival at a base
      fell into four main categories. Priority One taskings included
      activities such as runway preparation' runway lighting and
      navigational aid site preparation and installation, utilities, fire
      protection, faculty siting and latrines.Priority two taskingscomprised aircraft ramp and apron    sweeping, ammunition storage areas, aircraft revetments, and erection of facilities. Priority
      Three activities included environmental and sanitation concerns,
      facility hardening, and coed construction. Priority Four tasking
      involved the basic operation and maintenance of the base and
      continued training. Services personnel played an important part in
      force beddown by providing the food for deployed personnel. This
      could mean either managing the MREs or manning the dining faculty
      when it was operational. Oftentimes, personnel from every
      organization pitched in and helped erect tents and other facilities
      to have a place to sleep, eat, and work. Of course, each site and
