expedient pavement repair kit was developed to provide all the materials and non-
organic unit equipment required to repair one 7.6-meter (25-foot) diameter crater on
either a concrete- or asphalt-surfaced runway. To install this kit, Army units have
developed a Light Airfield Repair Package (LARP) that is comprised of organic
construction equipment and the ADR kit. Note: All equipment in these packages is
inserted either by Airborne (heavy drop) or Air Assault (external cargo helicopter loads)
techniques. Equipment included in the LARP:
2-2.3.1.1 Airborne LARP. (Requires seven platforms via C-17 or C-130)
2.5 cubic yard front-end loader one each
SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator) one each
Dozer (Deployable Universal Combat Earthmover [DEUCE]) one each
Single drum vibratory compactor one each
Dump truck one each
FAS (Forward Aerial Supply) Box - Includes additional sand grids; water for
compaction; 50 repair parts from the Prescribed Load List (PLL) for LARP
equipment; petroleum, oil, lubricants (POL) products; gas-powered hand
tampers; generator; and assorted miscellaneous hand tools
ADR kit two each
2-2.3.1.2 Air Assault LARP. (Requires five lifts via CH-47D Chinook)
836G Bobcat with bucket one each
836G Bobcat with sweeper one each
JD 450 dozer one each
SEE one each
ADR kit (with gas-powered hand compactor) one each
2-2.3.2
Navy/Marine Corps.
2-2.3.2.1 For Navy crater repair units, most of the construction equipment is contained
in Advanced Base Functional Component (ABFC) P-36. Typically, ABFC P-36 is
provided to an advanced naval airbase located in friendly territory for rapid runway
repair (RRR). ABFC P-36 is also included with the ABFCs to be deployed with the
Naval Construction Force (NCF) participating in the seizure, construction, and
occupation of an advanced naval airbase in enemy territory. The ABFC P-36 RRR
component contains the material and equipment required for repairing bomb craters
using specified types of earthmoving and earthworking equipment for crater cleanout,
backfilling, grading, and compaction. Traffic surface panels, emplaced over the
repaired craters, are fabricated from the following:
Prefabricated panels of AM-2 matting.
On-site-assembled traffic surface panels prepared from prefabricated bolt-
together panels.
On-site preparation of fiberglass mats.
2-2.3.2.2 Basic earthmoving and compaction equipment is available in MWSS and
Force Engineer Support Battalions. Crater repair cover material is configured in an
