INTRODUCTION
As a division engineer company commander or a staff engineer preparing for
battle, you must understand how the task-organization process facilitates
and enhances engineer support of Army operation.
Wartime missions often
require that several units operate together as a combined-arms force.
Standard guidelines help the commander and his staff accomplish this
reorganization and the task-organization process.
Engineer organizational
principles were developed as a guide for the engineer officer who is
responsible for task-organizing engineer elements to meet the diverse
requirements of Army operations.
1-1. Imperatives of Army Operations.
The tenets of Army operations-
initiative, agility, depth, synchronization, and versatility-provide
general guidance for conducting war.
Ten imperatives support these
tenets and provide key operating requirements for success on today's
battlefield.
Engineer operations help the commander meet the
following imperatives:
a. Assure unity of effort.
Commanders direct the use of available
combat power toward clearly defined, attainable, and decisive goals.
