The 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron heavy

The 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron heavy equipment operators or "Dirt Boys," conduct operations in support of the current infrastructure of the base and its flying mission. They complete work orders as small as filling a pot hole, to large ones like resurfacing a road at another base, or moving buildings from one base to another, all the while keeping within the regulations of the Air Force Instruction. The biggest work order is the removal of sand from roadways, critical movement areas and the airfield. It is a constant battle when the wind blows everyday all day. Most of the shop is comprised of Air National Guard members, bringing to the table a wide variety of experience from their civilian jobs as equipment operators.
