QUESTIONS The following questions are strictly for your use in determining
how well you understand the topics discussed
in this chapter AND IN THE References SPECIFICALLY
CITED IN THIS CHAPTER. The intent of these questions is to help you to learn the
topics contained in the chapter and in the References. Remember: when you
participate in the advancement
examination for EA1, you may be asked questions that are drawn not only from
this TRAMAN but also from the cited References as well. Therefore, it is to your
benefit to answer the review questions. You do NOT have to submit your answers
to these review questions to anyone for grading. Similar review questions are
included at the end of each chapter. After answering the questions, you may turn
to appendix VI of this book to see how well you performed.
Q1. In the normal 55-hour battalion workweek your EAs
have produced 600 man-hours of labor. How
many man-days of labor does this equate to?
Q2. In general, the majority of the work that EAs perform
while in a battalion should be considered
as what type of labor?
Figure 14-7.Example
end-of-month status for a project.
Q3. Figure 14-7 shows the end-of-month status for a Seabee project. For this
project, what is the total percent of project completion that should be reported
in the monthly SITREP? (You will need to determine the missing data)
Q4. A certain NCF project was originally estimated to
require 600 man-days of direct labor. To date, 650
man-days have been expended and the project is 75-percent complete. Based on
this information only, how many man-days of labor should be required to complete
the remaining 25 percent of the project?
Q5. Assume that your battalion is deployed to Seabee Camp
Shields, Okinawa. As part of your engineering
tasking for the deployment, you are to prepare construction drawings for a
future project to be sited at the camp. When completed to what command should
the drawings be forwarded for final approval?
Q6. According to the TRAMAN, there are two reasons for you to have the
ability to foresee all of the steps required to complete a job that you intend
to assign to one of your EAs. What are those two reasons?
A1. 75 man-days.
A2. Indirect labor.
A3. 61 percent. (Source: NMCB Operations Officers Handbook, COMSECOND/COMTHIRDNCBINST
5200.2A, Section IV.)
A4. 150 man-days. (Source: NMCB Operations Officers Handbook, COMSECOND/THIRDNCBINST
5200.2A, appendix I.)
A5. Commander, THIRD Naval Construction Brigade.
A6. So that you can (1) get all of the information needed for the job from
