  tasks that do not align with a specific phase of operations. This line consists primarily of building, repairing,
  and maintaining various infrastructure facilities; providing essential services; and, ultimately, building
  partner capacity to codevelop HN capabilities to perform such tasks. Linkages to stability are predominant
  in this line. Most infrastructure development takes place during shape, deter, stabilize, and enable civil
  authority. It is often a series of technical tasks (build a road, build a water treatment facility) that fall under
  different sectors (electricity, road and rail transportation, water supply and sanitation, water treatment and
  sewage).
  Tasks That Support Build Partner Capacity and Develop Infrastructure
  This line of engineer support consists primarily of general engineering tasks. Many of the tasks that
  support this line of engineer support are the general engineering tasks listed previously in the enable logistics
  line of engineer support. However, the key differences from the enable logistics line of engineer support are
  the purpose and the desired effect. The primary purpose of the tasks in the build partner capacity and develop
  infrastructure line of engineer support is to support the commander in improving the conditions for HN
  leaders, institutions, and infrastructure development capabilities and in influencing them to achieve military
  objectives for self-defense.
  The different purposes of build partner capacity and develop infrastructure to enable force projection
  and logistics significantly change the manner in which a task is executed in most cases. For example, building
  a road could be a task for the enable force projection and logistics line of engineer support or the build partner
  capacity and develop infrastructure line of engineer support. While the completed road may be the same, the
  conditions and requirements to build it may be very different due to its intended purpose. If the road is being
  built to improve the local economic conditions, using local labor to increase employment may be more
  important than just completing the work in the quickest manner possible. Additionally, a road for the local
  populace may require coordination with many different local agencies, organizations, and ministries to
  support the local government and assist them in establishing legitimacy. Engineers may be required to
  provide technical training to HN managers on engineer tasks for planning, designing, and constructing roads.
  The interaction with the population during the process of building the road may take priority over the quality
  and speed of completion of the road itself.
  Included in the build partner capacity and develop infrastructure line of engineer support is the engineer
  role in capacity building. (See FM 3-07 for additional information on building partner capacity.) Engineers
  may support the United States Agency for International Development, the State Department, and special
  operations forces to improve HN infrastructure and the human or intellectual capacity to sustain the sector
  over time. Tasks to improve HN infrastructure require coordination with local- or national-level government
  agencies or ministries that maintain or control infrastructure. The tasks may emphasize the development of
  local technical and engineering institutions. Engineers may be required to train, educate, and develop local
  leaders, engineers, and organizations in the process of executing a task in this line of engineer support. For
  example, an engineer unit that is assisting the local populace in improving drinking water systems may also
  train the local public works to operate and maintain the system.
  While engineers at all echelons build partner capacity requirements, USACE FFE units have additional
  expertise to advise and assist HN capacity building that spurs long-term relationships. Engineers supporting
  BCTs may build partner capacity by providing training teams and reconstruction teams, sharing institutional
  knowledge, and conducting key leader engagements.
  Other Tasks That Build Partner Capacity and Develop Infrastructure
  General and geospatial engineers contribute to the build partner capacity and develop infrastructure
  line of engineer support because geospatial engineers and other USACE experts can provide technical advice
  and assistance. Specialized units can locate and map water sources. Well-drilling teams are limited assets
  that can be applied to solve long-term water restoration issues.
  Engineers in all of the disciplines may support tasks that build partner capacity and develop
  infrastructure by participating in foreign exchange programs and attending conferences. Participation in joint
  exercises is another opportunity that allows engineers to exchange information, build relationships, and
  develop infrastructure simultaneously.
