The 375th Civil Engineer Squadron is constructing a “tent city” facility at the Scott Base Lake that, when completed, will be able to train wing and tenant organizations for contingency operations and most contingency needs specific to any unit mission.

Additionally, the area will be used as the primary site for wing contingency response evaluations conducted by the 375th Inspector General’s office.

The construction reflects the 375th Air Mobility Wing’s emphasis on readiness.
