How Do I Work for the Army Corps of Engineers?
Engineers refer to specialized arms that are responsible for military engineering support tasks. Engineers are included in the arms of various countries. Army engineering soldiers are generally composed of professional troops and units such as engineering soldiers, pontoons, construction, engineering maintenance, camouflage, and field water supply engineering. Engineering troops of other services generally consist of engineering construction units and engineering maintenance units.

- Engineers are the backbone of the army's technical support for engineering support. Army engineers are usually divided into
China Engineering Corps
- The Chinese People's Liberation Army's Engineering Corps (formerly known as the Engineering Corps) was born in the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927. It was composed of 148 Anyuan workers in Jinggangshan to form the Red Army's first engineering company. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, engineering soldiers entered a new period of development. In December 1950, a leading agency for arms was established. Subsequently, the establishment of the entire army's engineering units was gradually unified, and colleges and research and design institutions at all levels were established. In 1955, as a branch of service, it was renamed Engineering Corps, and the Engineering Corps became an engineering organization to perform field engineering support tasks.
- Engineering
- China's basic tasks: guaranteeing combat troops to improve battlefield survivability; guaranteeing combat troops to increase battlefield mobility; guaranteeing combat troops to increase battlefield anti-mobility capabilities; undertaking engineering reconnaissance and providing technical guidance to engineering operations carried out by other armed forces, services and the people.
- The establishment of Chinese engineering soldiers is divided into: engineering soldiers directly under the headquarters. It consists of engineering brigades, regiments, teams, etc., mainly responsible for strategic engineering support tasks and engineering camouflage and maintenance tasks for important strategic objectives. The military region is directly under the engineering unit. It consists of engineering brigades, regiments and teams. It is mainly responsible for the support of battle engineering. The team is an engineering soldier. The group army consists of an engineering corps, an infantry division an engineering battalion, and an infantry corps an engineering company.
- Chinese engineering soldiers have made positive contributions in the battle to defend the socialist motherland, in the construction of highways such as Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet, etc., in the construction of large-scale national defense projects, and in the struggle for socialist construction and rescue and disaster relief. In 1979, the sound of gunfire in Shekou opened the prelude to the construction of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The 20,000 engineering soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army joined the ranks of the special zone construction and became a new force in the construction of the special zone. Before the reorganization on September 15, 1983, the infrastructure engineering soldiers in Shenzhen that year had 2 divisions and 7 regiments totaling 20,000 people. Over the past 20 years, this heroic group has forged ahead in Shenzhen and worked hard to build brilliant buildings for the SAR, supporting a blue sky in the SAR city. According to the statistics of Shenzhen Construction Holding Company, the total assets of construction and construction enterprises adapted from the army that year have increased from 120 million yuan 20 years ago to 35 billion yuan, an increase of 291.6 times. By the end of 2002, 1/4 of the buildings in the special zone with more than 18 floors were built by the system.
Engineering Corps
- The US Air Force's engineering units began in Vietnam, nicknamed "Red Horse." Scale, the establishment of about 400 people, mainly engaged in airport and military airport construction tasks. The 819th Red Horse Squadron belongs to the 8th Air Force, the 823th Red Horse Squadron belongs to the 9th Air Force, and the 820th Red Horse Squadron belongs to the 12th Air Force.
- As an important support arm of the U.S. military, the U.S. engineering soldiers, in order to adapt to the future construction and planning of the U.S. military, have carried out a comprehensive transformation of the engineering soldiers from the aspects of engineering support theory, preparation and equipment, education and training to establish a rapid response, easy deployment, Expeditionary engineering troop system with mobile, flexible, efficient, multi-functional and sustainable support capabilities.
- Ensure mobility
- In order to adapt to the US military's "preemptive strike" military strategy, the U.S. Army Engineering Corps has introduced a new "ensure mobility" engineering support theory. Ensuring maneuver is the active maneuver of synthetic troops to avoid obstacles to the greatest extent and prevent the enemy from taking anti-maneuver measures. It mainly includes six basic elements, namely predicting the actions and environment that may affect the maneuver of the unit; identifying early signs that hinder the maneuver of the battlefield. Prevent potential factors affecting the battlefield mobility of troops; evade obstacles on the battlefield; eliminate or overcome unavoidable obstacles; protect troops from the influence of enemy forces. In order to more effectively implement the "guarantee mobile" engineering support theory, the U.S. military requires engineering soldiers to achieve first enemy discovery, first enemy understanding, first enemy action, and decisive victory when performing combat engineering support tasks.
- Modularization
- Faced with the overall transformation of the U.S. Army, the U.S. Engineering Corps is actively exploring the new establishment structure. According to the transformation of the U.S. military engineering structure, the future expeditionary engineering force system will mainly consist of team engineering troops and expeditionary command and control engineering brigades. Team engineering units are mobile operational units such as brigade and battalion formed engineering units, which can meet the most basic and most frequent engineering support needs of these brigades, battalions and other combat units.
- The expeditionary command and control engineering brigade consists of the expeditionary engineering brigade headquarters, the basic engineering battalion, and the effectiveness module battalion. The Engineering Brigade Command is the engineering command and control system center, which can integrate the basic engineering battalion and the effectiveness module battalion to provide more powerful technical support. The basic engineering battalion is similar to the combat engineering battalion. It consists of command and control agencies and different professional engineering effectiveness modules. It is a basic module unit that constitutes large-scale engineering troops. The basic engineering battalion can strengthen the engineering corps and provide early deployment capabilities. Enhancements to the effectiveness module camp are available. The effectiveness module battalion consists of highly specialized engineering effectiveness modules, such as bridge module battalion and building module battalion, etc., which have strong special engineering support capabilities. The organizational structure of the engineering effectiveness module is a modular structure of squads, platoons, and companies. Expansion and enhancement capabilities, as well as fixed establishment equipment, can reinforce each other with the basic engineering battalion.
- The US Army Corps of Engineers is the largest, divided into the US Engineering Corps and the Combat Engineer. The United States Engineering Corps is a public institution with a large number of civilian personnel, mainly engaged in military and non-military construction tasks. The combat engineer is one of the seven combat arms of the United States Army. Before the transformation of the US heavy division, an engineering brigade was set up. In the establishment of the 21st century digital division, the engineering brigade was cancelled. It was divided into 3 engineering battalions and 3 combat brigades assigned to the division. The Light Division Engineer Corps is small and only has an engineer battalion directly under the division. The engineering unit directly under the army is the engineering brigade / engineering brigade. In addition, an independent engineering brigade was retained in the National Guard, and the engineering units of the Army Reserve were merged into two engineering headquarters: the 412nd Engineering Command and the 416th Engineering Command. According to the modular transformation of the US military, the engineering force will be greatly reduced, and a total of 13 engineering battalions will be reduced. The engineering units of the future modular combat units will no longer have engineering brigades, and the most common will be the engineering company. The heavy brigade UA has two engineering companies divided into two brigade battalions. The light brigade UA has only one engineering company and belongs to the battalion directly under the brigade. The Stryker Brigade also has only one engineering company, which is directly under the brigade. The remaining engineering units were integrated into engineering battalions and incorporated into the mobile enhanced brigade under the second dispatch unit (UEX).
- Information Equipment
- In order to cooperate with the Army's transformation to the future army, the US Army Engineering Corps formulated near-, medium- and long-term engineering equipment development plans, identified development goals for engineering equipment at different stages of the transformation period, and strived to make engineering equipment reach the informationization after the Army's transformation And intelligent standards. According to the equipment development goals of the engineering soldiers during the transition period, during the transition phase from the current traditional troops to the future target troops, the engineering soldiers will be mainly equipped
- Engineering
- The future engineering troops will also be equipped with 10 key engineering equipment, such as mobile information systems, long-range mine clearance systems, high-performance sensor ammunition, future combat system mobile support engineering vehicles, mobile support bridge equipment, rapid deployment of engineering machinery, terrain construction ammunition, foundations Facilities construction machinery, modern blasting equipment, etc. It can be seen from the development goals of the US military's engineering equipment during the transformation period that informatization, intelligent engineering equipment, and mobile engineering support equipment will be the focus of the development of US military engineering equipment. U.S. military engineering units such as the Navy s Sea Bee (SEABEE) and the Air Force s Red Horse (RED HORSE) are also equipped with many civilian construction machinery, mainly bulldozers, graders, etc.
