Airmen from the 188th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES) are preparing to go to Portugal for a two-week temporary duty (TDY) assignment aimed at enhancing both operational readiness and infrastructure at Lajes Field, a strategic U.S. Air Force installation in the Azores.
One of the squadron’s main tasks will be taking on major construction projects, including the demolition of two buildings and the interior buildout of a room within an existing warehouse. These projects align with key training metrics for the Airmen, allowing them to apply their expertise in real-world conditions. The TDY serves a dual purpose: ensuring members complete required annual training while simultaneously providing additional construction capabilities for base projects. These enhancements directly support the Air Force’s force projection capabilities, as Lajes Field serves as a critical staging location for operations in the European theater.
