Engineer Vision and HQs Mission
MISSION : ENGINEER HQs and SCHOOL generates the military
engineer capabilities the Army needs; training and certifying Soldiers
with the right knowledge, growing professional leaders, organizing
and equipping adaptive units, establishing a framework of doctrine for
integrating capabilities with operations, and remaining an adaptive
institution in order to provide Commanders with the freedom of action
they need to win decisive action as part of JIIM-IA (“Whole of
Government”, “Whole of Society”) team.
VISION:
• The World’s Best and Most Versatile Military Engineers
• Technically as well as Tactically Expert
• It’s lonely in the lodgement !
• Warriors Always
• Expeditionary Training and Mindset
• Regimental Family
• Most Flexible and Adaptive Units and People
• Soldiers and civilians that inspire each other
• Soldiers who dare to demand “Let Us Try”…and get it done
Engineer Warriors leading to serve maneuver forces:
“A Regiment inspired to overcome all challenges to enable victory”
The Army Engineer Profession: A Model

Key Tasks for the Profession
• Breed the Army’s best/most creative/most agile leaders…
inspired with passion
• Focus on the unique skills and capabilities our Regiment
provides
• Support the forces in contact (expeditionary ops, SOF, Cyber,
HLD, theater shaping ops; partner capacity and infrastructure
prep of theater). Engineers units are always in the fight.
• Capture what we have learned (or relearned) in a decade of
war… apply to it all DOTMLPF
• Weigh the Main Effort by remissioning engineers- no engineers
not applied to our missions (no Engineers in the reserve)
• Build Great Engineers… warriors always
• Readiness is key… revolutionize home station and functional
Engineer training
• Win as a team…JIIM-Industry-Academia
• From dawn of warfare to today and in the first and last 300
meters to any objective- maneuver, fires and engineers …
serving proudly with a Sapper’s heart

What the Army Must Do: Prevent, Shape, and Win:
Strategic guidance requires the Army to conduct a wide range of
missions while retaining the ability to focus more narrowly on
projecting power to deter and defeat aggression once a specific
threat emerges.
The combination of a narrow focus within a wide lens allows the
Army to adjust more rapidly to potential threats.
The Army must maintain a high level of operational adaptability

BCT Engr Bn (BEB)
• Aligns Engineer Mission Command
with BCT centric Army
 Expert advice to commander for mission
command
 Plan for and employ EAB assets
• Provides all BCTs with full spectrum
stance with a baseline* of organic
engineer capability (25% Auth by ROA)
EAB
 Gap Crossing
 Breach Capability
 Route Clearance
 Horizontal Construction
• Makes employment of EAB Engineers
in support of BCTs more effective and
efficient*
• Synchronizes Engineer capability with
ARFORGEN and improves Campaign
Continuity
• BEB billpayer was primarily BSTB HQs
and EAB engineer organizations

Factors That Will impact Organizations
• Brigade Engineer Battalion Implementation
• Echelon Above Brigade Re-design
– Geospatial FDU
– Construction FDU
– Combat Engineer Company re-design
• Tactical Wheel Vehicle Study
• Grade Plate Review
• Women in the Army Policies
Are we pulling on too many levers at the same time?
Who is synchronizing the joint engineer structure?
EAB EN Redesign Concept Key Components
Construction Company Design:
• Multi-functional companies vs pure companies
Contingency Basing /Power Generation/CL IV:
• Enhance company capability
• Base camps will again be required as a projection platform
Explosive Hazards Operations:
• Must minimizing the resources to run base camp energy and utilities
• Assess Area clearance capability
• Solidify EHO as a mission, usually nested with movement and
maneuver, not just an organization or materiel solution
• Off-Leash Explosive Dogs will be vital to EHO for the foreseeable
future
• The engineer regiment must be prepared to absorb the management,
storage, and distribution of class IV building materials in theater
Geospatial
• All army missions are tied to geospatial information
• Identify what capability and Organizations should endure
• Need the right capability in the appropriate organization to support
each theater and deployment
Gap Crossing:
Fire Fighting
• Develop a light bridging system for IBCT
• This capability is critical to APOD ops, and Base Camps
• Maintain a fixed and float LOC bridging
• The army has a unique capability that can augment civil capability
Power Projection/Early Entry
Building Partner Capacity:
• Must have the right capability in the AC to project our CONUS based
army into an anti-access or area-denial theater
• Requires technical engineering skills
• Airfields and Ports are the most critical asset and the lifeline for the
Army
AC/RC Integration:
• Determine capabilities and solutions to support the D+30-90 day
requirement
• What RC capability will be required early
• Closely linked with USACE partnership
• The Engineer Regiment will be at least a 19/81 mix of AC/RC
Shaping Terrain/Countermobility
• What capabilities will be RC only and which will require additional
capacity
• Develop a lethal/non-lethal and scaleable countermobility capability
• Key capabilities should have commonality across components
Support to SOF
Support to DSCA:
• SOF operations will continue to grow as a requirement
• Urban Search and Rescue (Assured Mobility through a disaster site)
• Engineer regiment must provide properly “SOF” trained enablers to
support these requirements
• Response and recovery from WMD or disaster

Joint Engineering Defined
Joint Engineering: The ability to execute and
integrate combat, general, and geospatial
engineering to meet National and JFC requirements
to assure mobility, provide infrastructure to position,
project, protect, and sustain the joint force, and
enhance visualization of the operational area, across
the full spectrum of military operations.

effectiveness.
Precise. The ability to provide the required capability (or mix of capabilities) at
the correct/required time and location.
Agile/Tailorable. The ability to react quickly and adapt to dynamic conditions
and missions, scalable to provide the required capacity and effects.
Enduring/Persistence. The ability to accomplish missions and functions over
extended time without degrading
productivity, capacity, and effectiveness.
