Battle Command Staff Training for Engineer Commands
Abstract
Deploying Reserve Component (RC) headquarters receive postmobilization battle command staff training (BCST), executed by the 75th Battle Command Training Division (75th BCTD) and hosted by a training support brigade (TSB). The exercise director, the TSB commander, is the validating authority. For most deploying RC engineer commands, the 3d Battle Command Training Brigade (3d BCTB) provides this training, and the 181st TSB at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, is the validating authority. The 3d BCTB trains other types of units as well as engineer battalion and brigade headquarters. On one mission, they may train a mayoral cell, followed by an infantry brigade combat team, then followed by an engineer brigade. It takes a wide skill set to train this variety of units. The brigade has no explicit concentration of military occupational specialties (MOSs), since several or all are needed for most units trained. Battle command tasks are universal to any battalion or brigade, but when training engineers, 3d BCTB is always looking for more MOS 21 series Soldiers. With that in mind, high-quality, mission-focused training is always afforded every unit that the brigade is tasked with preparing for deployment. All postmobilization battle command
