Additional Skills & Qualifications
The teams will be comprised of 4-5 engineers. Half of the 182 (CONUS and OCONUS) bases are currently funded. They are on base 2 now. Travel will be consistent. Install will take 2-3 weeks onsite depending on how prepared the base is. The plan is to have them go from base to base. If there is downtime they will be at home and will be kept busy with paperwork/documentation.
When they get onsite, they will work with the POC onsite to get into the warehouse and schedule equipment to go to facilities on base. There are 4 facilities per location, priority is to hit SIPR first since escorts can tend to fade. They will then follow the design layout, make modifications, close out, do asset management, etc. They are installing Dell servers, power strips, wire management, labeling, grounding. If needed, will get someone additional to test. Recognize faults and potential failures.
