This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineer support doctrine for the brigade combat team (BCT) is focused on tactical-level maneuvers. The engineer organizations organic to the BCT are optimized to perform combat engineering (primarily mobility with limited capabilities in countermobility and survivability) tasks with geospatial engineering support provided by the organic terrain teams. Additional engineering support (combat and general) comes from modular engineer organizations that are task-organized to the BCT or providing support from echelons above brigade (EAB) organizations. This manual is aligned with current BCT doctrine (see Field Manual [FM] 3-90.6) and describes engineer support for the heavy brigade combat team (HBCT), infantry brigade combat team (IBCT), and Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT). Although the armored cavalry regiment (ACR) and its engineer company is not specifically addressed, the basic principles of this manual also apply to those organizations. This manual serves as a reference document for engineer commanders, staff, leaders, training developers, and doctrine developers throughout the Army. It is a primary manual for instructional purposes within the U.S. Army Engineer School (USAES) and assists other Army branch schools in teaching the integration of engineer capabilities into Army operations, since engineer involvement is a given for nearly every military operation. This manual includes guidance on integrating organic and augmenting engineer forces into BCT tactical plans, orders production, and mission execution. It incorporates the use of essential tasks for mobility, countermobility, and survivability (M/CM/S) in BCT operations and highlights the organic and likely engineer augmentation to the BCT as it operates across the spectrum of conflict.

Book excerpt: This manual provides engineer doctrine for operating at the BCT level and below and within the framework of unified land operations. The engineer support doctrine for the BCT is focused on tactical-level maneuvers. The engineer organizations that are organic to the BCT are optimized to perform combat engineering tasks (primarily mobility with limited capabilities in countermobility and survivability). Geospatial engineering support is provided by organic terrain teams. Additional engineering support (combat and general) comes from engineer organizations that are task-organized to the BCT or that provide support from echelons above brigade (EAB) organizations. This manual is aligned with current BCT doctrine and describes engineer support for the armored BCT, infantry BCT, and Stryker BCT. Although the armored cavalry regiment and engineer company are not specifically addressed, the basic principles of this manual also apply to those organizations. This manual also provides greater detail for commanders and staffs at brigade echelons and below to ensure the synchronization of engineer capabilities across the range of military operations. Many of the tactical tasks associated with combat and general engineering support have remained constant although current and proposed future operational environments have dramatically shifted with the emergence of new threats (such as improvised explosive devices [IEDs]) and an increased emphasis on stability operations. Another significant change involves Army reorganization and restructuring of the force and the effects that they have on doctrine and operations. Changes that directly affect this manual include the-Restructure of engineer organizations within each of the three types of BCTs and within the armored cavalry regiment; Likelihood that the operations conducted will be with unified action partners. (The primary focus of joint engineer operations is to achieve the commander's intent by coordinating engineer support throughout the joint area of operations.); Alignment of engineer doctrine that supports BCTs; Consequential changes in the basic Army organizational structure and equipment of engineer organizations.

Book excerpt: Field Manual (FM) 5-116 provides doctrine to commanders and staffs concerning the employment of engineer units at echelons above corps (EAC). These units will be required to complement or expand the combat capabilities of divisional engineer assets as well as construct, maintain, and rehabilitate the logistics infrastructure needed for operational sustainment of the combat forces. Some EAC engineer units may operate as far forward as the brigade's rear area, but generally most will operate in the communications zone (COMMZ).
Download or read book Assessing Engineer Transformational Concepts written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to study past and present engineer organizations and operations to answer the question: What is the deficiency between engineering requirements of the Brigade Combat Team in the Contemporary Operational Environment and the actual engineer capabilities embedded in the BCT? Lessons learned from past and ongoing engineer operations reveal the engineer capabilities commonly required in the COE. An analysis of the BCT and its embedded engineer organization indicates a deficiency in engineer requirements versus engineer capability. To compensate for this, engineers continue the habitual provision of augmentation from echelons above the unit of action. The result is a low-density/low-usage doctrine for employment of engineer assets in an operating environment that demands high-usage of these same assets. The monograph recommends a balanced embedded engineer battalion in the BCT that includes combat, construction, bridging, and geospatial capabilities. Since the Army and TRADOC do not consider this affordable, recommendations are offered on integrating engineer assets with the maneuver enhancement brigades, the UEx, and the UEy. Specific focus is given to command and support and to immediate DOTMLPF concerns. Measures of effectiveness are suggested for monitoring transformation and for studying future engineer operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maneuver commanders rely on engineers to add breadth and depth to the overall understanding of the operational environment. The engineer perspective shares a common understanding of the operational environment, while adding a degree of focus on those aspects within an engineering background. The engineer, employing the common analytical framework and a unique technical background, identifies significant and relevant challenges and opportunities of potential impact to the combined arms operation.Years of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in U.S. Army senior commanders reevaluating the doctrinal roles and responsibilities of combat and construction engineers. Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 3.0, Unified Land Operations, maintains combined arms as the application of arms that multiplies Army forces' effectiveness in all operations. The decision to convert the brigade special troops battalion (BSTB) to a brigade combat team (BCT), brigade engineer battalion (BEB), enhances engineer mission support by providing the required engineer mission command and staff, as well as the organizational capability, within all BCT organizations.
