    Method of Instruction: Conference/DemonstrationInstructor to Student Ratio is: 1:6Time of Instruction: 5 minsMedia: Hands-on Instruction

    Motivator NOTE: Allow one to two minutes for lesson introduction. Explain theContemporary Operational Environment (COE) to include lessons learned.Ensure the students are aware of how it will affect them during their futureassignments.

    The purpose of this lesson is to provide you with the skills and knowledge requiredto perform small emplacement excavator (SEE) operations that you, as a SEEoperator, must perform effectively in a combat and peacetime environment.

    TerminalLearning

    Objective

    NOTE: Inform the students of the following Terminal Learning Objective requirements.

    At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will:

    Action: Excavate Fighting Positions Using a Small-Emplacement Excavator(SEE)

    Conditions: At a training site, given a guided discussion on excavatingprocedures, a SEE, FM 5-434, TM 5-2420-224-10, LO 5-2420-224-12, a student guide, an equipment records folder and all personalprotective equipment.

    Standards: Excavates one of the following excavations to the listedspecifications; a trench 15' long +/- 1', 2 foot wide +/- 6" and 2 footdeep +/- 1' using the extend and crowd method, a two Soldierfighting position 6' long +/- 6", 2 foot wide +/- 6", arm pit deep to the

    tallest Soldier, a "L" and "T" fighting position 6' long +/- 1', 2'wide+/- 6" and arm pit deep to the tallest Soldier. All excavationsmust maintain a straight line. Performs a during operation PMCS,avoids contact with known underground hazards with no damage toequipment or personnel injury within 40 minutes.

    SafetyRequirements

    Review local training area SOP. Kevlars/hard hats must be worn at all times.Hearing protection must be worn while equipment is running. Eye protection,gloves, and proper foot protection must be worn when operating equipment. Usethree points of contact when mounting or dismounting equipment. Remove alljewelry.

    RiskAssessmentLevel

    Low - Instructors should complete a risk assessment before conducting trainingoperations, or logistical operations.

    Environmental

    Considerations

    NOTE: It is the responsibility of all Soldiers and DA civilians to protect theenvironment from damage. Avoid unnecessary stripping of vegetation andwaterways. Control dust conditions and limit water erosion by dressing area at theend of each day. Explain the purpose of drip pans and their location under theequipment. Avoid unnecessary equipment usage and follow establishedprocedures for cleanup of fluid leaks. Restore site and surrounding areas as closeas possible to the original ecological condition.

    Evaluation Performance evaluation, refer to the student evaluation plan in the student guide.

    InstructionalLead-In

    When used properly, this machine can excavate trenches, fighting positions(individual and crew served) and many other construction operations. As with allother construction equipment, the SEE can be dangerous if you are not paying

    attention to what you are doing. Listen close and you will learn how to excavate atrench and several fighting positions.

    g) Continue with step 5 until trench/hole is filled.

    h) Reposition SEE to either side of the stockpile and continue back fillinguntil complete.

    i) Feather the spoil out at the end of each pass.

    j) Dump bucket and back drag the work area, while keeping pressure onthe bucket and lifting slightly to feather material.

    B. Excavate two Soldier fighting position with a SEE.

    NOTE: Ensure the front loader travel locks are disengaged and stowed.
