CHAPTER 1
CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
INTRODUCTION
As a second class petty officer your duties and
responsibilities will increase in the area of con-
struction support. This chapter will discuss some of
these responsibilities, such as the Advanced Base
Functional Components System, shoring and
excavation safety, project planning, network analysis,
timekeeping, quality control, and hazardous materials.
ADVANCED BASE FUNCTIONAL
COMPONENTS (ABFC)
The Advanced Base Functional Components
(ABFC) System consists of two general-purpose
publications: Table of Advanced Base Functional
Components with Abridged Initial Outfitting Lists,
OPNAV-41P3, and Facilities Planning Guide, Vol-
umes I and II, NAVFAC P-437.
The ABFC System was developed to provide
support facilities to constantly changing tactical and
strategic situations. A modular or building-block
concept was developed. Components were needed that
would incorporate men, materials, equipment, and
facilities designed and developed to fulfill specific
functions, no matter where the components were
placed. The Navy ABFC System is based on the early
experience in advanced base planning and shipment
used in World War II with improvements brought
about by experiences learned in Korea, Vietnam, and
the Persian Gulf.
The Navy ABFC System is the quantitative
expression and measurement of planning,
procurement, assembly, and shipping of material and
personnel that is needed to satisfy facility support
requirements. The basic groupings of the ABFC
System are (1) component, a complete unit; (2)
facility, a portion of a complete component; and (3)
assembly, a portion of a facility. These simple
definitions and the interaction of these three units will
be fully explained later in this chapter.
OPNAV 41P3
The Table of Advanced Base Functional
Components with Abridged Initial Outfitting Lists
(ABIOL), OPNAV 41P3, is a detailed itemized line-
item printout of the material in each ABFC. Each
system command (SYSCOM)/bureau is responsible
for maintaining a detailed list of that portion of the
ABIOL of an ABFC for which it has been assigned
contributory responsibility.
NAVFAC P-437
The Facilities Planning Guide, NAVFAC P-437,
is the basic document that identifies the structures and
supporting utilities of the ABFC System. It consists of
two volumes.
Volume I contains reproducible engineering
drawings organized in three parts—Part I, Component
Site Plans, indexed by component designation; Part II,
Facility Drawings and Networks, indexed by facility
number; and Part III, Assembly Drawings, indexed by
assembly numbers.
Volume II contains the detailed data display for
each component, facility, and assembly in the ABFC
System. It also has three parts. Part I quantifies and
describes, by DoD category code, the facilities
requirements for each component. Part II quantifies
and describes, by assembly number, the assembly
requirements for each facility. Part III quantifies line-
item requirements, by national stock number (NSN),
for each assembly.
Other information used for planning, such as the
crew size, man-hours by skill, land area, and fuel
necessary to make a component, facility, or assembly
operational is contained in the guide.
The NAVFAC P-437 includes facilities and
assemblies that are not directly related to components
shown in the OPNAV P-41P3. These predesigned
facilities and assemblies give the planner alternatives
for satisfying contingency requirements when the
callout of a complete component is not desired. For the
purpose of compatibility with other DOD planning
systems, the NAVFAC P-437 has been oriented to the
standard DOD category codes for classifying real
property of the Navy, as listed in Department of the
Navy Facility Codes, NAVFAC P-72. The cardinal
category codes are shown in table 1-1.
