• Under most circumstances these FEMA-supplied generators are installed by Emergency Support Function (ESF) #3, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, via the use of a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contractor.
• Soldiers from the 249th Engineer Battalion “Prime Power” provide technical expertise and conduct facility assessments if there is not one on record.
• The mission is a turnkey mission. USACE and their contractor prepare the generators for use, haul them to the facility locations, install them, fuel and service them until commercial power has been restored, de-install them and transport them back for event re-use or for shipment back to the FEMA DC when no unmet generator needs exist.
