Engineers Breaking New Ground In The Sustainment Brigade

摘要

In June 2006, the 3d Sustainment Brigade began its transition from a division support command (DISCOM) to a sustainment brigade under the new modular concept. With this transition, the sustainment brigade gained an engineer element that was not available in the DISCOM. As the brigade engineer, I fell under the support operations section and was colocated with the plans cell.rnIn preparation for the 3d Sustainment Brigade's deployment, the brigade commander decided to change the composition of the engineer section in anticipation of its role during the deployment. The first change made the engineer a separate S-staff, designated as the S-7, aligned with division and corps engineer cells.
