Engineer Echelons-Above-Division Support of Light and Motorized Divisions

Abstract

This study analyzes the worldwide requirements of the engineer units of the US Army's echelons-above-division (EAD) to support the requirements generated by light and motorized divisions. The monograph determines the type and quantity of EAD units required to support lightweight divisions in each of four theaters. The study examined the equipment mix and squad-to-equipment ratio of lightweight EAD units initially required of these rapid-response divisions. The report concludes by briefly outlining the advantages and disadvantages of several of the division's bridging alternatives. The US Army Engineer Studies Center (ESC) sponsored this effort to compile in one document the results of a family of wartime ESC studies that dealt directly or indirectly with the engineer requirements and capabilities of lightweight divisions.
