CONCAP is the U.S. Navy program. The initial contracts were solicited in 1995
and since then CONCAP missions have been conducted in Haiti and elsewhere
in the Caribbean, the Azores, Bosnia, Crete, and at Camp Lejeune, North
Carolina. Capabilities provided by the contractor include the following:
The U.S. Army continually seeks to increase its combat potential within
programmed resource allocations. This occasionally requires pursuit of external
sources to provide adequate logistics support for the force.
LOGCAP is a U.S. Army initiative for peacetime planning for the use of civilian
contractors in wartime and other contingencies. These contractors will perform
selected services to support U.S. forces in support of Department of Defense
(DoD) missions. Use of contractors in a theater of operations allows the release
of military units for other missions or to fill support shortfalls. This program
provides the Army with additional means to adequately support the current and
programmed forces.
AFCAP is the US Air Force Program (through AFCESA). AFCAP was initially
conceived and implemented to provide Civil Engineer (CE) and Services (SV)
personnel a contract force multiplier. The intent was to augment CE, SV and
logistics capabilities during worldwide contingency operations. For example, the
contractor’s force could relieve active duty and air reserve component (total
force) personnel from sustainment tasks to ensure fundamental military missions
remained fully staffed and operationally ready.
AFCAP is a contingent tool to provide Civil Engineer & Services personnel with a
force multiplier by leveraging use of the commercial sector in meeting urgent
mission requirements. AFCAP is a cost reimbursement or firm-fixed price
contract tool providing cost effective, responsive solutions to meet urgent realities
of today. The AFCAP tool is only available for contingency situations and
designed for rapid design/construction, service contracts and logistics/commodity
solutions. Depending on urgency, degree of requirements definition or task
stability, contracts can be tailored into firm-fixed price, cost-plus fixed fee or cost-
plus award fee task orders.
AFCAP consists of five key players; 1) the customer, 2) MAJCOM Civil Engineer
or Director of Services, 3) AFCAP program managers located at HQ
AFCESA/CEXX, 4) AFCAP contracting officers (AETC Contracting Detachment
at AFCESA), and 5) the six AFCAP contractors (Bechtel, CH2M Hill, DynCorp,
Readiness Management Support, URS & Washington Group). The customer is
responsible for providing on-site contract administration, quality assurance and
task order surveillance. The MAJCOM Civil Engineer/Director of Services (or
delegated individual) provides resource advocacy, appropriate programming and
guidance on execution method to complete tasks. The AFCESA AFCAP
program managers work as an interface between customers and the AFCAP
contracting officers to solidify requirements available under this contract.
AFCAP can be the right choice to satisfy increased support requirements and
sustain forward locations facing extended operational life. The AFCAP contract
has provided continuity - many AFCAP contractor personnel have been deployed
for one year, or in many cases, longer. Power production and professional
engineers are two examples across Southwest Asia. AFCAP can and has
provided everything from air traffic controllers, WRM equipment augmentation,
power plants, heavy equipment leases, and even rock quarry operations and
concrete batch plants. For civil engineers, the products and services can
include: planning & design; infrastructure and facility construction, operation,
maintenance, sustainment, revitalization; reconstitution - tear-down, clean-up,
repacking, site restoration, environmental restoration; disaster recovery (terrorist
or natural disaster), and the list goes on. Basically, AFCAP can perform any task
expected from a CE, SV, or RED HORSE squadron, with only a few exceptions.
Air Force policy imposes a few constraints on AFCAP use. The initial response
and force beddown for military operations or exercise scenarios cannot be
contracted out. Public Law limits contracted support for CONUS fire crash
rescue to only circumstances where a shortfall is caused by military
deployments. Also, contracted EOD support can be for range clearance
operations only. Lastly, AFCAP is not allowed to run a mortuary operation
(inherently Governmental) and cannot operate field exchanges.

In 1996 CONCAP was put to the test. Hurricane Bertha hit North Carolina with
sustained winds of 100 mph on Friday July 12, 1996. The next day the CONCAP
contractor was on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, having been staged when
Bertha threatened the east coast. The CONCAP workforce grew to over 400.
Damage estimates were about $30 million, with CONCAP covering about $15
million. Two months later, Hurricane Fran hit North Carolina Sept. 5 adding
another $15 million in work to the repair effort. The CONCAP workforce
increased to over 600. In 1998 CONCAP responded to hurricanes in North
Carolina and Virginia, the Caribbean, Florida Keys, and Mississippi.
All the taskings for CONCAP haven’t been for natural disasters. CONCAP was
used to design a road between Grozde and Sarajevo in Bosnia during 1996. In
1998, CONCAP was used along with Navy Seabees in Souda Bay, Crete to
construct a sewage treatment plant, holding tank and pumping stations, and for
urgent runway repairs at Aviano AB, Italy in 1999. In 2001 the contract was
employed for repairs to a NASA runway in Morocco and in 2002 CONCAP built
detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The first contract was awarded in 1995. The second CONCAP Contract ($300
million over five years) was awarded to Brown & Root Services, a division of
Kellogg Brown & Root Services, Arlington, VA. The current CONCAP contract for
1 base year with 4 option years of worldwide coverage was awarded to Brown &
Root Services (now Halliburton KBR) in on 22 May 2001. The contract, awarded
by the Atlantic Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(LANTDIVNAVFAC), calls for a broad range of capabilities in both vertical and
horizontal construction scenarios.
CONCAP helps the Navy stay within its force ceilings and frees uniformed Navy
personnel for contingency operations. The contract specifies what may be
required and includes time parameters for setting up quick, behind-the-lines
facility support for troops. It also frees up Seabees to support the fight.

reasonable assurance of success and within reasonable cost. The Contractor is
also required to prepare formal Internal Operating Procedures (IOP) to support
the implementation of a contingency plan anywhere in the world.
• AirfieldOperation
Responsibilities
a. LOGCAP is promulgated by Army Regulation (AR) 700-137. The HQ,
Department of the Army (HQDA), Office of the Army G-4 is the DA Proponent
for LOGCAP.
b. The U. S. Army Materiel Command (USAMC) is the Army’s Executive Agent
for LOGCAP.
c. USAMC’s Army Field Support Command executes and manages the
program and is the Procuring Contracting Office for the contract and its task
orders
Concept
a. LOGCAP is designed to be an overall force multiplier by
augmenting existing logistics forces and/or capabilities while taking advantage
of the expertise and capabilities of civilian corporations.
b. The concept is to pre-plan during peacetime for use of the
contractor’s global commercial vendor resources to provide or perform selected
services in wartime and other contingencies to augment U.S. Forces and in
support of Department of Defense (DOD) missions. The LOGCAP contractor
has fully planned and determined staffing, equipment, and consumable costs for
the service support missions shown in Figure 1. LOGCAP provides an
augmentation capability to support Combat Support/Combat Service Support
(CS/CSS) requirements not covered by other means. The plan’s Statement of
Work (SOW) objectives are derived from identified and/or anticipated Customer
requirements and from lessons learned during previous LOGCAP EVENTS.
The reductions in the Army’s logistics structure that occurred when the Army
downsized in the early 90's required the creation of new concepts, methods, and
programs to provide sustainment support to the Army. One such program was
the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP). This program is a
capability multiplier that uses civilian contractor capabilities to provide
sustainment support to the Army. LOGCAP is the method of choice for
augmenting sustainment support capabilities for virtually all the Combatant
Commanders and a host of Army customers.LOGCAP provides a contractor
capability to augment Army forces when needed in logistics, engineering services
and planning. It does not replace Army units or other contractors. It is designed
as a menu of capabilities available to the commander, and may be requested in
whole or in part whenever it is determined to be the best and most cost effective
method for providing the support.

LOGCAP RESPONSIBILITIES
Sounds like they can do everything - is there anything they cannot do?
The following paragraphs, which are a synopsis of wording from the Statement of
Work for the second AFCAP contract, give a good introduction to the purpose of
the AFCAP contract and the capabilities provided by the AFCAP contractor. More
information can be obtained by reading over the 'detailed capabilities list'
elsewhere on this site, or by downloading either the AFCAP ConOps document
or the AFCAP Statement of Work (SOW) available in the Downloads section.
Types of Response. Because military forces are trained and equipped for rapid
deployment and flexible support for a variety of scenarios, the expectation is that
initial response to a MOOTW/SSC will generally be assigned to military forces.
As these forces establish a base(s) of operations and extended activities are
likely to occur, AFCAP relief, augmentation, or expansion are potential resource
options. However, the above statement does not rule out the possibility that
AFCAP contract support may be the initial responder in selected scenarios,
particularly small scale, "fast moving," isolated location scenarios or during world
wide recovery operations. In addition, work may include MOOTW/SSC backfill
support at existing operational Air Force bases within and outside the United
States to augment sustaining forces.

Feb 2002 - Present
The Army has used contractors to provide supplies and services during both
peacetime and contingencies dating back to the Revolutionary War. During the
Vietnam War, the heavy use of contractors led the Army to determine that a need
existed for a preplanned method for utilizing Contractors on the Battlefield. On
December 6, 1985 LOGCAP was established with the publication of AR 700-137.
The newly established program was used in 1988 when the Third United States
Army (TUSA) requested that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
contract out a management plan to construct and maintain two petroleum
pipeline systems in Southwest Asia in support of contingency operations.
During the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War, LOGCAP was not used. Instead,
contractors were hired on hundreds of separate contracts to provide logistics
support with uneven results. There are numerous examples of contracts awarded
with poorly defined or missing Statements of Work and unclear contract
requirements. These situations led to inadequate contractor performance and
customer dissatisfaction at significant cost. The contractors' payment vouchers
still had to be honored, however, because the poorly written contractual
requirements contained no basis upon which to reject their claims for payment.
As a result, LOGCAP was revised to preplan for contractor support during any
contingency or war. It was first used officially in Somalia in December 1992.
The Tom Sullivan Test and Training Site at Fort Polk, LA continues to be an
excellent training tool for the active and reserve Force Provider companies. It is
used to house rotational soldiers during their JRTC training cycles. The LOGCAP
contractor has the current contract for care and maintenance of the module. They
have a seven-person site management team.
Reception, Staging, Onward Movement and Integration (RSO&I) '00 (8-21 April
'00) is a 19th Theater Support Command (TSC) and Eighth U.S. Army (EUSA) is
Command Post Exercise (CPX) operating out Taegu, Korea. LOGCAP planners
fully integrated into EUSA and 19th TSC Operations cells at both Camp Henry
and Camp Walker. The exercise provided a training opportunity for the
Contractor, LOGCAP Support Unit personnel, as well as USFK/EUSA/19th TSC
to better understand how work is done by the Contractor to support specified
U.S. forces.
Ulchi Focus Lens (UFL) 2000 (16-31 Aug 01) is a JCS sponsored Command
Post Exercise conducted in Taegu, Korea. LOGCAP planners fully integrated into
EUSA and 19th TSC Operations cells at both Camp Henry and Camp Walker.
LOGCAP has participated in the C/J4 during the CPX phase of the Cobra Gold
JCS sponsored, multinational force and joint exercise at the invitation of
USARPAC/ CINCPAC since 1999. LOGCAP participation has consisted of one
LOGCAP planner from the LOGCAP Office and a senior logistics planner from
the LOGCAP contractor. The contractor representative attends the various Cobra
Gold planning conferences and writes the LOGCAP Mission Scenario Event Lists
(MSEL) for PM LOGCAP and writes injects to get LOGCAP and other selected
MSELs into the exercise story line at the request of the exercise host. Since
2000, the contractor planner has participated as a member of the Joint Exercise
Control Group (JECG) at the during the Cobra Gold Exercise at the request of
the exercise host.
Tempo Brave (26-30 Jun 00 & 29-31 Oct 00) is a CJTF exercise for
Consequence Management (CM) in the Pacific Theater, held at Fort Lewis,
Washington near 1st CORPS Headquarters. HQ, 1 Corps will command and
control all CM operations as a JTF HQ within the PACOM Area of Operations
(AO) and will be the lead agency, mitigating the effects and assisting in the
remediation of the affected operational environment within a Joint Operational
Area (JOA). This also tested the menu for CM Plan that is being written by the
contractor. This was a Consequence Management (CM) exercise and planning
development for a Statement of Work (SOW) to be used in the Pacific Theater.
