Modular Engineer Structure in Divisions

Abstract

I recently completed a deployment to Iraq as the Division G7 and the Division Engineer for the 25th Infantry Division, which served as the Multinational Division North (MND N) headquarters at Contingency Operating Base (COB) Speicher and covered an area equivalent to the size of Pennsylvania. The division converted to the modular structure and deployed after a mission rehearsal exercise and, during the tour, it commanded and controlled four to six modular brigade combat teams (BCTs). From my perspective, I think the modular engineer force structure is about right. I offer the following observations based on my 15 months in Iraq.
