Utilities Chief

Utilities Chiefs are technical advisers to the commander at all levels of all elements of the various MAGTFs on the employment of utilities support. These Staff Noncommissioned Officers analyze, translate, and execute commanders' operational requirements into a utilities support reality that enhances mission accomplishment. They plan and supervise the establishment, operation, and maintenance of water purification, storage, and distribution sites; electric power generating sites along with the inherent underground, above ground, overhead and tactical electric power distribution systems; and shower and laundry services. They coordinate and supervise the installation, maintenance and repair of heating, air conditioning (to include automotive), and refrigeration equipment; and the maintenance and repair of the electrical systems on engineer and general supply equipment. Water quality assurance, field sanitation, sewage, and waste disposal is also planned, coordinated, and supervised.
