Civil Engineers Pave Infrastructure for Combat Airpower

SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, NC —  From sidewalks to roads, to ramps and runways, a small team assigned to the 4th Civil Engineer Squadron works to support the development of base infrastructure and facilities.

The 4th CES engineering section is responsible for the wing’s GeoBase program. Its mission is to develop and provide geospatial information and services, to enhance agile combat support while minimizing operational risk for the 4th Fighter Wing.

“Having a GeoBase program is critical for the 4th FW as it provides accurate data for decision-making and enhances mission support,” said Staff Sgt. Brandon Schoenborn, 4th CES non-commissioned officer in charge of execution support. “Our [expertise] cover areas such as Computer Aided Design, Geospatial Information Systems, Optical and GPS Surveys, Soil Testing, and Contingency Operations. We ensure that Seymour Johnson AFB has the right information at the right time, improving safety, efficiency, and mission success.”
