231st Civil Engineering Flight

On behalf of the 231st Civil Engineering Flight (231 CEF),we welcome you to the homepage of one of the finest Civil Engineering flights in the Air Force. We can provide a broad base of technical and management expertise to achieve Air National Guard and major Command objectives during peacetime and contingencies.

The 231 CEF is a command staff augmentation unit that provides worldwide deployable engineer expertise. The staff augmentation team (S-Team) also provides support to major command and numbered air force staffs for command and control of engineer forces, engineering projects and technical assistance. The 231st CEF is one of five S-Teams in the Air National Guard.

Our Mission

To be the first choice for staff augmentation during wartime, operations other than war (OOTW), and state emergencies by providing worldwide staff augmentation and professional engineering and fire protection services. To ensure readiness of personnel, equipment and weapons for global mobility and deployment requirements.

Employment

We can use our two-week Active Duty for Training (ADT) to satisfy your short-term engineer/staff officer requirements. If you require longer-term support, man-days and TDY funds may be required. We encourage all prospective customers to contact us as soon as possible with requirements since we typically begin scheduling assistance visits by March of the prior fiscal year. Our expertise is limited by the amount of time our engineers and technicians can spend away from their civilian jobs.

If you are a Civil Engineering officer (32EX) leaving active duty or a reserve officer looking for a new challenge, you may want to consider talking to us. We are always looking for experienced architects and engineers who would like to join our team.
