Engineer Expeditionary Force Design Concepts- From Theory to Practice in Task Force Able

Abstract

The Army is changing. Recent dramatic changes in the Army force structure toward a modular force impel the Engineer Regiment to change to stay relevant. We must continue to contribute on a battlefield that bears little resemblance to the linear, Cold War environment in which most of our engineer forces were structured to fight. Though we are busy fielding Stryker-equipped engineer companies in the Stryker brigade combat teams (SBCTs) and will develop companies as integral parts to the maneuver-based brigade units of action (UAs), the bulk of our Regiment must adapt to the fundamentals of the future Army, (primarily at the unit of employment [UE] level) that call for tailored, scalable, modular, and responsive forces.
