The Theater Engineer Construction Battalion: General Engineering in Support of the Warfighter

Abstract

The 844th Engineer Battalion, a United States Army Reserve unit headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, recently completed a mission as the theater construction battalion in Iraq. This article is germane to the Active Army and Reserve Component, since there were active duty United States Army, United States Air Force, and United States Army National Guard units within Task Force 844 during the deployment. It is hoped that some of the insights of this article will keep a few more Soldiers alive, safe, and trained, while giving the command teams of deploying battalions some peace of mind by learning from the experiences of the 844th.
