Ops  Officer’s  Handbook,  also  describes  the  manner  in which   planned   and   actual   project   percentages, man-days  remaining,  and  other  important  project planning and management data are determined. As an EA  supervisor,  you  should  become  thoroughly  familiar with the Ops  Officer’s  Handbook. DEPLOYMENT COMPLETION REPORT The Deployment Completion Report is the primary source   of   historical   information   for   battalion accomplishments   and   lessons   learned   during deployment.  It  covers  all  battalion  aspects  for  the deployment including project work, training, safety, administration,  supply  and  logistics,  and  so  forth.  For each  aspect,  the  report  provides  lessons  learned, statistical  data,  and  brief  narrative  discussions  of  matters that maybe of significance to other NCF units deploying to  the  deployment  site. Specific instruction for preparing a Deployment Completion   Report   is   found   in   COMSECOND/ THIRDNCBINST  3121.1  series. ENGINEERING  DIVISION The  engineering  division  is  under  the  direction  of the   engineering   officer,   who   is   normally   a   Civil Engineer Corps officer in his first duty assignment. The engineering officer and his staff are responsible for providing   all   engineering   services   and   designs necessary for the successful conduct of the construction program. ENGINEERING  CHIEF An EAC, when assigned to a construction battalion, normally has a wide range of duties and responsibilities. Most often he is the engineering chief. In this capacity, he  works  directly  for  the  engineering  officer  and  is responsible for the coordination and supervision of the engineering division. However, because the EAC has a wide  diversity  of  experience  and  training  as  a  Seabee chief petty officer, he is frequently assigned to other positions, such as MLO chief, training chief, quality control  chief,  and  sometimes,  officer  in  charge  or assistant officer in charge of a Seabee detail. On some occasions,  the  EAC  might  even  be  assigned  to  the position  of  engineering  officer.  In  cases  such  as  these, the  supervisory  responsibilities  inherent  to  the  position of engineering chief fall upon the shoulders of the EA1. Another  responsibility  often  assigned  to  the  EAC  (and which could, therefore, fall upon you) is managing the radiation safety program within the battalion. For this job you need to become thoroughly knowledgeable with not  only  the  operation  and  safety  requirements  of  the nuclear  moisture-density  meter  but  also  with  the requirements  contained  in  NAVSUPINST  5101.11 series and other pertinent regulations and instructions dealing   with   the   receipt,   storage,   handling,   and transportation of radioactive materials. DRAFTING  AND  REPRODUCTION SECTION One of the sections under the engineering officer is the drafting and reproduction section. As implied by the name  of  this  section,  the  personnel  assigned  to  it perform  drafting  and  reproduction  of  engineering drawings.   Most   drawings   and   specifications   are furnished to the battalion; however, it is often required that the NMCB site adapt structures, prepare plans of existing  structures,  design  alterations  of  existing structures,  adapt  standard  plans  for  use  of  local nonstandard  materials,  design  new  structures,  and perform other design work. All major work designed by the NMCB must be approved by the command that exercises operational control (COMSECONDNCB or COMTHIRDNCB). In nearly every case, the NMCB prepares  as-built  drawings  of  all  constructions performed  by  the  battalion. Most  of  the  functions  listed  in  the  preceding paragraph  are  performed  by  the  EA  personnel  assigned to  the  drafting  and  reproduction  section.  They  all  assist in  the  preparation,  revision,  and  reproduction  of drawings and perform other functions assigned by the engineering  officer. Drafting Room Supervisor Generally,  an  EA1  or  EAC  is  in  charge  of  the drafting and reproduction section. This is a job that requires  a  person  of  superior  administrative  and supervisory  abilities.  At  times  your  work  load  may  be piled up so high that you will never finish without working overtime. At other times you may not have enough work to go around. These extreme situations may  be  avoided  by  proper  planning  and  work distribution.  A  good  method  is  to  prepare  a  prioritized list of all major jobs to be done and another list of minor jobs. Naturally, you should try to channel most of your manpower  toward  accomplishing  the  major  jobs  first. Then, during slack times, give out the minor jobs, or fill-in jobs, for accomplishment Kit  80011  (or  Kit  11)  of  the  NMCB  Table  of Allowance   (TOA)   contains   the   essential   drafting equipment and tools needed by a construction battalion. 14-3
