PREFACE

The enclosed report is the culmination of the US Army Engineer School’s effort to collect observations from Operations Iraqi Freedom and provide them to the Total Engineer Force—active, reserve, and civilian. This report is published to provide the reader with observations related to engineer issues that arose during Operation Iraqi Freedom from deployment through the end of Phase III. It focuses on the following objectives:

a. To collect engineer-related information through unit after-action reports and reviews, and other documentation.

b. To draw conclusions from assessments and focus our efforts on their improvement.

c. To disseminate conclusions to the Engineer Regiment and incorporate them into our doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leader development, personnel and facilities.

This report covers four of the five engineer battlefield functions performed by Engineers: Mobility, Survivability, Geospatial, and General Engineering. Also covered are the Battlefield Operating Systems of Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), as well as Engineer Equipment.

Short-term recommendations can be used by engineer units to improve ongoing training and leadership development. Long-term recommendations can be used by combat and training developers to improve the engineer force over time.

The US Army Engineer School’s Center for Engineer Lessons Learned (CELL) developed this report. We welcome any comments that may further improve the quality of our observations. Comments may be sent directly to Commandant, US Army Engineer School, ATTN: ATSE-DOT-DD, Fort Leonard Wood, MO 65473-8929. Telephone numbers are: DSN 676 4117/4106; Commercial (573) 563 4117/4106.
