Engineer Modules
 Engineer mission module
forces will be comprised of
highly specialized engineer
capabilities that will be
required by baseline forces to
execute missions
 Mission module forces will
support virtually all of the
engineer missions at the
theater level
 In garrison, the mission
modular forces will also
contain a battalion HQ that
will be responsible for the
training readiness and
deployment preparation of
these modules

USJFCOM J3/4 Engineers
Engineer Baseline and Mission Modules will generally fall under the
C2 of an Engineer Battalion HQ
Engineer battle command is a modular system that will separate
functions into two types of HQ: Engineer Commands (ENCOM) and
Engineer Brigades
ENCOM and Brigade HQs provide command and control over all
engineer forces in the force pool that are not supporting a combatant
commander for an operation
ENCOMs generally work at the theater level; Engineer Brigades can
work at the operational or theater level
