(March 3, 2021) Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) Officers School Basic Qualification Course students conduct a survey for a potential Helicopter Landing Zone (HLZ) while maintaining security during a five-day field training exercise (FTX). As an integral part of the school's training cycle, the FTX challenges future CEC officers to operate as a team during scenario missions in the field.
