ANNEX 3-34 ENGINEER OPERATIONS APPENDIX A: PRIME BEEF AND RED HORSE CAPABILITIES Last Updated: 15 August 2017 This appendix describes capabilities that Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force (BEEF) and RED HORSE teams are organized, trained, and equipped to provide in support of military operations. These are consistent with established precepts, the operational plan phases, Air Force civil engineer (CE) wartime task standards, and current joint engineer operations. It is important to differentiate between primary and secondary capabilities listed in the table below. A primary capability (P) is one in which the ability to perform the function is organic to the unit and is a specified task within the unit mission; the unit is also equipped and trained to accomplish the task. A secondary capability (S) is one in which the unit has limited ability (training, expertise, equipment) to accomplish the task. Note: Planners should refer to Air Force War and Mobilization Plan-1, Basic Plan and Supporting Supplements, CE Supplement, and the CE Unit Type Code Guide for planning purposes. These documents describe the capabilities listed in more detail.
