Joint Engineers: Full Spectrum Support-from Peace to War.

Abstract

Joint engineers can provide significant and sustained engineer support to joint operations across the full spectrum of warfare. Operations PROVIDE COMFORT, RESTORE HOPE, RESTORE DEMOCRACY, and JOINT ENDEAVOR all show that engineers need to be interoperable. They should be capable of performing a range of tasks to include operating with other services, operating with non-governmental organizations, contracting for construction and services, and planning and executing joint operations. This study advocates establishing sound joint engineer doctrine to improved joint engineer training. This initiative will improve interoperability and develop a strong cadre of highly skilled joint engineers. Better trained engineers supporting a joint force commander who better understands the engineers' full range of capabilities will provide the flexibility to enhance joint task force engineer operations for full spectrum support from peace to war.
