Mr. Jim Rowan

Deputy Commandant

US Army Engineer School

23 May 2013

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”

Assure Mobility

Enable Expeditionary Force Projection & Logistics

Lines of Engineer Support “The Unique Work of Our Profession”

Develop Partner Capacity & Infrastructure

Enhance Protection

Modular Engineer Company Formations

The Reason We Exist “Our Purpose: Provide Freedom of Action”

Capabilities “Interdependent Disciplines”

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 …

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

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

• Enhance company capability

Explosive Hazards Operations: • 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

• Identify what capability and Organizations should endure

Gap Crossing:

• Develop a light bridging system for IBCT

• Maintain a fixed and float LOC bridging

Power Projection/Early Entry

• Must have the right capability in the AC to project our CONUS based

army into an anti-access or area-denial theater

• Airfields and Ports are the most critical asset and the lifeline for the

Army

• Determine capabilities and solutions to support the D+30-90 day

requirement

Shaping Terrain/Countermobility

• Develop a lethal/non-lethal and scaleable countermobility capability

Support to SOF

• SOF operations will continue to grow as a requirement

• Engineer regiment must provide properly “SOF” trained enablers to

support these requirements

Contingency Basing /Power Generation/CL IV:

• Base camps will again be required as a projection platform

• Must minimizing the resources to run base camp energy and utilities

• 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

• Need the right capability in the appropriate organization to support

each theater and deployment

Fire Fighting

• This capability is critical to APOD ops, and Base Camps

• The army has a unique capability that can augment civil capability

Building Partner Capacity:

• Requires technical engineering skills

• Closely linked with USACE partnership

AC/RC Integration:

• The Engineer Regiment will be at least a 19/81 mix of AC/RC

• What RC capability will be required early

• What capabilities will be RC only and which will require additional

capacity

• Key capabilities should have commonality across components

Support to DSCA:

• Urban Search and Rescue (Assured Mobility through a disaster site)

• Response and recovery from WMD or disaster

Joint Engineering and the Way Ahead

MG Todd Semonite

23 May 2013

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.

order to create and share a common operating picture. Able to synchronize

across many links to plan, control, move, and execute through coordinated

action.

Effective. The ability to produce the intended effect or end state via the

application of the most suitable and efficient means.

Expeditionary. Organized and postured for rapid global deployment and

employment. Capable of strategic and operational movement via air, sea, and

rail followed by immediate employment in support of forward deployed

elements.

Integrated. Composed of elements that function together seamlessly with

unity of effort. Capable of substitution without loss of capability or

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.

Joint Force 2020 Attributes

83

• Globally agile, responsive with regional expertise.

• Broadly versatile and specialized in some mission areas (balanced).

• Able to apply discriminate power and able to generate overwhelming force.

• Adaptable and resilient to deal with rapidly changing and unanticipated situations.

• Technology enabled and built on training and abilities of people.

• Interdependent for reasons of economy and also self-sufficient.
