2. 3. 4. 5. Authenticate  all  NAVSUP  Form  1250-1s and 1250-2s generated during the BEEP. Assign  all  final  CESE  condition  codes. Conduct  a  post-BEEP  critique  for  ap- propriate  personnel  of  both  battalions. Prepare  and  submit  a  BEEP  completion report  to  COMCBPAC  or  COMCBLANT, with  copies  to  appropriate  addresses. KEEP  IN  MIND  THAT  SAFETY WILL  BE  PARAMOUNT THROUGHOUT  THE  ENTIRE  BEEP REPAIR PARTS The repair parts portion of the BEEP will be accomplished   according   to   COMCBPAC/COM- CBLANTINST  4400.3  series,  appendix  C. EMBARKATION As indicated in the name, mobility is a major portion  of  the  tasking  of  each  Mobile  Con- struction  Battalion.  The  battalion  maintains  a staff that preplans for given situations. They work with  the  air  detachment,  air  echelon,  and  sea echelon  scheduling  for  ships  or  planes.  The embarkation  staff  determines  and  adjusts  load requirements  to  fit  the  type  of  units  doing  the transporting.  As  a  CM1,  you  will  be  tasked  to communicate with the embark staff through your chain  of  command.  This  communication  will include changes in types of equipment available, deadlined units designated as air detachment or air  echelon,  and  parts  requirements  changes. SCHEDULING Scheduling  of  equipment  through  the  shop during  embarkation  depends  on  which  equipment is  to  be  embarked,  the  number  of  mechanics available, and time allowed. All equipment must be thoroughly cleaned, and time must be allotted for  this  operation.  Air  detachment  equipment  will receive  top  priority.  As  a  shop  supervisor,  you will  find  that  your  input  and  knowledge  of  the mechanic’s capabilities will be vitally important. INSPECTING Equipment  to  be  embarked  should  have  minor repairs accomplished before embarkation. These units must be capable of operating for some time without breakdown. Deadlined units on the sea echelon may be repaired under way. Equipment to be transported aboard aircraft will be delayed if fuel, oil, and water leaks are not detected during your inspection and corrected while in the shop. PREPARING Coordinated  preplanned  efforts  between  the mechanics, wash   rack   personnel,   collateral equipment,  and  Equipment  Operators  are  es- sential  for  a  successful  embark.  All  collateral equipment has to accompany the unit for which it was intended; spare tires have to be mounted. Depending on the method of transporting, dump truck  headache  boards  need  to  be  removed  and secured  in  the  bed,  tops  removed,  windshields  put down and taped, and exhaust stacks loosened. It is  often  required  that  the  buckets  and  counter- weights  of  front-end  loaders  be  removed.  Detailed data  for  each  unit  will  be  coordinated  between  the embark  staff  and  the  transporting  unit. STAGING After the equipment has undergone the shop requirements,  it  might  need  to  be  loaded  with designated  equipment.  All  air-transported  units must be weighed and the center of balance marked in the configuration in which it is to be loaded. After  this  has  been  accomplished,  it  maybe  staged for  convoy  or  movement  in  a  place  that  is  not congested and does not interfere with continued progress  of  equipment  in  process. TRANSPORTING Often  a  convoy  movement  is  required  to  reach the  transporting  unit.  This  operation  may  be  used to arrange equipment in load-number order if it was not done during the staging phase. Loading and tie-down are normally under the directions of the loadmaster of the aircraft or the boatswain of  the  ship. HAZARDOUS   MATERIALS WARNING Materials   required   to   operate   a maintenance organization are often toxic, corrosive, explosive, or highly flammable.
