This monograph directly addresses design, and incorporates elements of Engineering Design Theory to the codified, social act of campaign creation using art, science, and craft. The monograph gives a definition of design and discusses the...
The purpose of this thesis is to assess the effectiveness of Future Engineer Force (FEF) transitions between full-spectrum operations. The research question is, Does the FEF transition engineer units between offensive and stability operations in...
This study develops a methodology for the Australian Army to adopt to ensure that a systems approach is applied to the concept and acquisition phases of the Materiel Cycle. This involves an integration of Systems Engineering, Integrated Logistics...
Policy and doctrine require the U.S. Army to provide certain capabilities during the conduct of stability operations. The Department of Defense now considers stability operations as critical to success as offensive and defensive operations....
Joint doctrine places the staff cognizance for engineering under J4 Logistics by emphasizing sustainment engineering functions. The Uniform Joint Task List identifies operational requirements for combat engineering functions, but no joint doctrine...
The recent transformation in the Army to a more expeditionary modular force, focused on brigade combat teams (BCT), has brought with it significant challenges to the engineer regiment. The simultaneity called for in the Army’s operating concept...
This monograph examines Colonel Bond's writings and compares his principles of military engineering to the current Objective Force Proposals, which are centered around the concepts of "assured mobility" and "embedded capabilities". The analysis...
The effectiveness of the engineer organization described in the Concept for Support Command and Control at Echelons above Corps (Theater Support Command Concept) is analyzed in this monograph. The research hypothesis was: The engineer command and...
This monograph looks at the current state of the divisional engineer capability in both the heavy and light U.S. Army divisions. Its intent is to determine whether or not the divisional engineers are sufficiently capable of dealing with the...
National strategic policy and strategic military leadership affected the engineer force structure over the last 90 years despite little change to the mission of the military engineer. Regardless of force structure issues, engineers performed their...
This monograph focuses on a construction unit in the United States Army, the Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Heavy). The Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Heavy) is the main organization, providing the U.S. Army the bulk of its heavy construction...
Terrain is a permanent and important aspect of all military operations. Today, the military study of terrain is called geospatial engineering, and it is the responsibility of engineers to maximize its effect for the tactical echelons of the Army....
Decisive action by the United States Army places additional weight on construction units particularly in support of construction missions during offensive, defensive, stability or defense civil support authority (DCSA) operations, yet organic...
The full spectrum doctrine of the U.S. Army places additional emphasis on engineer units to support offensive, defensive, stability, and civil support operations, yet organic engineer capability was reduced in the BCTs. This thesis attempts to...
This thesis is a comprehensive study of tactical voice communications traffic engineering. It proposes an outlined traffic engineering procedure to configure the field army common user voice network as efficiently as requirements and limited assets...
This study examines a fundamental misalignment in the efficiency and effectiveness of current processes employed to select and place candidates for service in tomorrow's United States Army. This misalignment concerns the Knowledge, Skills,...
Doctrine requires the Army to conduct full spectrum operations, giving equal consideration to stability operations and Defense Support of Civil Authority (DSCA) with the traditional missions of offense and defense. This shift in doctrine, among...
The Army as a whole faces both technical and social challenges. The mutual support of institutional training, operational assignment, and self-development is more important now than ever. Mentorship is the glue that binds these three areas to build...
This monograph discusses the importance of base development to operational sustainment and the role that Army engineers will play in modern corps-level contingency operations. Base development in an austere theater will be a complex task that will...
The objectives of Engineer are to inform, motivate, increase knowledge, improve performance, and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. Views ex-pressed are those of the authors and not those of the Department of Defense or its elements. The...
