This monograph analyzes the ability of U.S. Army engineers to organize at the division level and support tactical offensive operations on the contemporary battlefield. The analysis is conducted in light of the Soviet experience in organizing for...
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...
This study investigates the significant effect of mobility, countermobility, survivability and topographic engineering on the American Civil War Campaign of Chancellorsville. The operations occurred near Fredericksburg, Virginia in April and May of...
This monograph investigates the idea of utilizing heavy force combat engineers to assist with intelligence collection efforts. Tactical commanders face large reconnaissance requirements but have limited assets to meet them. Supporting engineers...
This monograph analyzes the capability of U.S. Army combat engineers to provide responsive survivability support to AirLand battle tactical operations. The discussion compares the abilities of the current engineer force with the protection...
This thesis is an historical analysis of deliberate river crossings performed by four U.S. Army divisions in February 1945: the Sixth Armored Division, the Eighth Infantry Division, the Eightieth Infantry Division, and the Eighty-Fourth Infantry...
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...
As the lethality of new weapons technology increases the need for dispersion, the future battlefield will tend toward nonlinearity. The considerations for tactical mobility in the maneuver phase of the ALB-F concept are essential to determining the...
This monograph examines whether current U.S. Army river crossing doctrine is adequate to meet the unique challenges of tomorrow's battlefield. Under the Air-Land Battle Future Concept (ALB-F) the future battle-field is expected to be highly...
This monograph addresses how combined arms organizations should be formed in our Army today. Specifically, it focuses on the question, "what arms, if any, should be combined organically at battalion level?" This issue is important because our...
This monograph analyzes the proposed combat engineer reorganization at division level - E-FORCE - in light of the modern battlefield's requirement for agile combined arms formations. The study first examines the theoretical basis and importance of...
This study researches the positioning of the current Heavy Division Bridge Company to best support River Crossing Operations. Numerous changes in force structure, size of the force, and optimum use of engineer capabilities have raised valid...
