Description
Description — Mobility Equipment
The Mobility Equipment program funds procurement of Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) prepositioned stocks to support bed-down of deployed forces (personnel, aircraft, and support equipment). This equipment is part of the Air Force's prepositioned war reserve materiel (WRM) and will be managed in accordance with Title 10 USC 2229, Strategic Policy on Prepositioning of Materiel and Equipment. BEAR is composed of multiple air base capability packages or unit type codes (UTCs) to include feeding, hygiene, water purification, power production, airfield & base lighting, shelters, mobile aircraft arresting systems, and environmental support equipment. BEAR provides personnel and flightline support at forward operating sites (Establish the Base, Operate the Base). The program provides funding to procure new and replacement equipment items, and multimedia packages required to support BEAR training facilities at Silver Flag Sites, Regional Training Sites, Technical Schools, Technical Certification Centers, Services Combat Center Training, the 635th Materiel Maintenance Group, and Eagle Flag. Costs include inventory reconstitution, spares and consumables, repairs, and procurement of new equipment for upgrades or full UTC replacements. Power Production: Consists of prime and secondary power equipment, such as Cable Reel Pallet Assemblies (CRPAs), providing the capability to generate and distribute power to billeting, feeding, flight line and industrial operations at forward deployed sites. The primary power source for BEAR bed-down locations is the BEAR Power Unit (BPU). The BPU is an 800 kilowatt (kW) Tier II compliant diesel generator. The power from the BPU is distributed through buried high voltage cabling and stepped down to facility power through the Secondary Distribution Center (SDC). The SDC is a 150 kilovolt-ampere (KVA) transformer capable of supporting twelve (12) billeting shelters via the Primary Distribution Panels (PDP). Lighting: Expeditionary Airfield Lighting System (EALS) is a light emitting diode (LED) and incandescent runway lighting system designed to be rapidly installed at contingency airfields and at other locations that need temporary airfield lighting. The lighting kit for runways includes runway edge and threshold lights, precision approach path indicator (PAPI), and strobe approach lights, distance to go marker lamps, taxi way lamps and battery-operated obstruction lights. The EALS also includes the generators, cables, control cables, transformers and regulators. The entire system is packaged on six (6) mobile trailers. System will be replaced with a Next Generation System in future years. Lighting also includes base lighting through the Remote Area Lighting System (RALS), a self-contained, skid mounted, fully enclosed transportable lighting system. Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS): The air transportable barrier arresting kit (BAK-12) mounted on a mobile trailer accommodates the recovery of fighter aircraft returning to battle damaged airfield. It is capable of arresting specified aircraft within a nominal 1,200 feet runout. The system is capable of being installed in soil, asphalt, or concrete and is used in non-permanent contingency situations. Mobile Runway Edge Sheaves (MRES): Designed to enhance capabilities of the MAAS by providing a low-profile runway edge sheave and is used in non-permanent contingency situations. Hygiene: Hygiene includes Shower, Shave and Latrine, WH-400 water heaters for initial Hygiene fielding and Self-Help Laundry system which provides personal hygiene facilities. Feeding: Includes kitchen and all applicable equipment. BEAR Feeding system provides the capability to prepare, and then serve, 500 meals over a two-hour serving period, twice per day (24-hour period). The Feeding system is worldwide deployable and supports numerous basing options. This system supports initial mission requirements and follow-on high mobility feeding requirements for rapidly deployable mobility packages and other contingencies in all theaters of operation. Shelters: Shelters vary in sizes and are needed for billeting, kitchen, hygiene, and aircraft and equipment maintenance. Includes lighting, electrical equipment, environmental control units, remote area lighting, shelter flies, flooring/matting for various shelter sizes, and shelter liners. 4K and 8K Domes (5000-8000 sq. ft. interiors) are designed for various uses, including maintenance space, general purpose and storage, training space, and are completely mobile/relocatable, deployable on any ground type. Environmental - HVAC: Heat Pump to provide cooling, heating via reversing valve (heat pump) and supplemental heat via resistance heat strips. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) provides thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Water Production: Force Module Water System converts non-potable water into potable water. The system is modular and scalable in design and consists of Source Run, Water Production, Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU), Initial, Follow-on, and Industrial Operations, Flight line Extension, freeze protection, grey water recovery, pumping, piping, storage equipment, applicable fittings, and other components such as fluid control valves. Training/Multi-Media Training - Provides BEAR and items for all training sites and funds for all required BEAR multi-media training requirements. This requirement (or modification) supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D Funding for this exhibit is contained in Program Element 0401135F Expeditionary Airfield Basing Assets.
Justification
Justification — Mobility Equipment
FY 2026 includes $7.168M for the procurement of Regional Basing Cluster Pre-positioning (RBCP) Force Generation Capabilities, a key enabler to Agile Combat Employment (ACE) in support of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI). Planned quantities could change due to price increases, inflation, and supply chain fluctuations. FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.040M for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiatives. FY 2025 includes $3.6M disaster supplemental increase "for necessary expenses related to the consequences of Typhoon Mawar" (H.R. 10545 American Relief Act, 2025). FY 2024 reflects changes after FY 2025 PB submission, including the Congressional reduction of $70.933M and $25.200M technical adjustment increase. Mobility Equipment prepositioned stocks significantly impact Contested Logistics and provides a cost-effective mix of investments that operationalizes the ACE concept (AFDN 1-21) in the Indo-Pacific. ACE is a proactive and reactive scheme of maneuver that shifts generation of airpower from large, fixed, centralized bases, to networks of smaller, dispersed bases. The Air Force continues to modernize major BEAR components to replace obsolete and inefficient models (e.g., Power Generation, Hygiene, Refrigeration, EALS, MAAS, Shelters, and Feeding). This program performs a critical role in the Combatant Commander's (CCMD's) requirements to support 5 major Operations Plans (OPLANs) and ensures the National Defense Strategy and objectives of PDI can be executed. The Mobility Equipment program adheres to: Title 10 USC 2229: Strategic policy on prepositioning of materiel and equipment. Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJSCI) 4310.01F: Prepositioned capabilities, ashore and afloat, place military equipment and supplies at or near the point of planned use to ensure timely support of Expeditionary Air Forces and other specific forces during the initial phases of an operation. These assets provide combatant commanders with initial capabilities and materiel until establishment of a mature and sustained Strategic/Theater Distribution Network (TDP).

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
