Story Highlights
- Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) harnesses civilian capabilities for troop support
Workers with Logistics Civil Augmentation Program contractor Fluor install wiring on new living quarters, known as relocatable buildings, for 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade Soldiers assigned to Forward Operating Base Tarin Kowt. These activities are part of the massive increase of 21,000 troops deploying in southern Afghanistan, for which LOGCAP provides the engineering and sustainment services required to build and support FOBs. LOGCAP managers and administrators oversee these activities to ensure essential support is provided so warfighters can carry out their counterinsurgency missions. Use of RLBs provides a measure of flexibility to planners and supported forces, enabling them to adapt to changing requirements. Rigorous enforcement of building codes and standards and ensuring strict compliance with contractual obligations are key elements of the LOGCAP mission.
