Transformation of Brigade Special Troops Battalions to Brigade Engineer Battalions: Lessons Learned and Best Practices

Abstract

The present research aims to examine the demands and challenges faced by Brigade Engineer Battalions (BEBs) in Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) in the Organization, Training, Leadership and Education, and Personnel (OTLP) domains during transformation from a Brigade Special Troops Battalion (BSTB) to a BEB. Cognitive, social, and cultural issues encountered during transformation was also examined. Officers and noncommissioned officers who are or had served in BEBs (ABCTs) were interviewed to capture the lessons learned and best practices so that these can be applied for more effective and efficient unit transformations in the future.
