Abstract:

As the United States Army struggles with the intricate management of the Army Force Generation process, transformation, and the continual feed of forces to support the War on Terrorism, engineer formations have been left off the mission rehearsal exercise MRE training cycle. This has become a recurring problem for the engineer force. Engineer commanders have no choice but to solicit brigade combat teams BCTs to be inserted into their combat training center CTC MRE rotation before a deployment for Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. This might work, but engineer commanders usually are at the mercy of competing resources, such as money, shortfalls in observer-controller OC manpower, and the CTCs BCTcentric training menu.
