LTG Semonite: Hello, I'm Lieutenant General Todd Semonite, 54th chief of engineers, and we're on the road
again today here at Offutt Air Force Base in the STRATCOM command and control
facility with me is Matt Bird, Matt's a senior program manager here for this
particular facility, Matt this is one of the probably most complicated buildings
that we've ever done tell our Corps team a little bit about what are we building
here in the STRATCOM facility what's the scope, what's the size and how
did we get to where we're at? Bird: Sure, Sir, thank you, right now we are standing
inside the atrium of the U.S. STRATCOM C2F facility that's the command and control facility
we are supporting one of the nine major commands for the
U.S. military, U.S. STRATCOM, their mission is for space and cyber
and also nuclear deterrence they have a workforce of 3,700 people that are
currently working across the street in a 1950s era building, we are replacing it
now with a brand new state-of-the-art facility that is nine hundred and
sixteen thousand square feet this facility will be fully redundant in
mechanical and electrical systems, it is survivable in the event of certain
events and then we meet and exceed all force protection criteria, this facility
can also withstand an EF-5 tornado, right now
this facility is programmed at six hundred and seventeen million dollars, sir
LTG Semonite: And what percent are we now? Bird: We are at ninety eight percent and right now we
have our users actually in the facility putting in furniture and computers
and they occupy about ninety ninety-five percent of this facility
LTG Semonite: So we're almost done, they've got some more work they've got to do to make it a
hundred percent fully mission capable, with me also is Steve Morrissey, Steve you're
the resident engineer, I just spent about three hours walking through the building
it's an amazing facility out here, a lot of very very unique features, great
atrium in here a lot of office space but can you tell
the Corps team a little bit about maybe some of the other unique things about this building?
Morrissey: Sure, Sir, yes we've built a very complex
facility here, one of the unique features of the facility is that the whole
building is surrounded by a PERS wall, a permanent earth retention structure
essentially we have built this building inside of a bathtub so that no ground
water can penetrate into the facility another interesting feature of this
facility is that we have a rather large HEMP shield, HEMP is high-altitude
electronic magnetic pulse to prevent certain systems in STRATCOM from going
down in the event that there's a pulse in the atmosphere, essentially we've
built a three-story building inside of a steel box inside of a foundation
LTG Semonite: And then, Steve, what about some of the things for the people here, I saw a great
cafeteria out there I think there's an auditorium as well, what are some of
those other things that you want to go out of your way to take care of the people from STRATCOM?
Morrissey: Absolutely, Sir, we've built a state-of-the-art cafeteria
where they'll bring in, essentially, set up like a food court area, we're also
supplying an auditorium which they currently don't have in their current
facility so they can gather large groups of people and have the meetings that they need to have
LTG Semonite: And then again, without getting into the details, an awful lot of
classified areas built into the building where they're able to do their mission
out here and so you've got all of those right systems in place to be able
to take care of those classifications, so this is a very very complicated building
I mean just my personal time in the Corps probably one of the most complex
buildings we've ever built and as I walk through and I look at not only
the great systems and the great contractors that are working together
here but it's the team that you guys have, you can't do this by yourself, Steve
we've got great contractors, all the rest of the great people in Omaha, other parts
of the Corps team and we're excited to work with the STRATCOM family to get
this building done, these hard buildings take a while to do but the bottom line
is I think we're all committed to being able to push this across the
finish line so thanks an awful lot, Matt, for the great job you're doing and, Steve,
phenomenal job by you and your team, you know in the Army our army our motto is
Army Strong, here in the Corps our motto is Building Strong, I think what I've
seen today and what you guys represent to me is that Omaha District is
finishing strong and that's what it's all about here
Offutt Air Force Base STRATCOM headquarters finishing strong with Omaha District
