Combat Engineers for 2025: Evaluation, Implication, Future

Abstract

In September 2016, the Commandant of the Marine Corps published The Marine Corps Operating Concept (MOC): How an Expeditionary Force Operates in the 21st Century. The MOC describes in broad terms how Marine Corps forces will conduct the range of military operation in the future operating environment. Critical Task 6.4: Enhance Our Ability to Maneuver has implications for combat engineers in the future as engineer activities have historically been integrate with the maneuver of ground combat forces to assure mobility. In order to support the enhanced maneuver task outlined in the MOC, Marine Corps engineers will need to explore changes to engineer doctrine, organization, and training.
