Section II. COMPANY HEADQUARTERS 1 1. Mission The mission of the company headquarters is to pro- vide command, administrative, supply, and equip- ment support for the platoons of the company. TAGO 987-C, Aug. 9 12. Organization Personnel of company headquarters are organized according to the nature of their duties, into the com- mand echelon and the administrative echelons. How- ever, greater flexibility and efficiency can be realized in company operations by permitting the unit commander to decide the exact composition of these echelons for each specific situation. An example of the flexibility desired would be the utilization of the executive officer in the command echelon as a project engineer in one situation and as a unit administrator in the admin- istrative echelon in another situation. Section III. COMMAND ECHELON 13. Composition The command echelon is composed of the company commander, executive officer, first sergeant, and com- munication personnel. a. Duties of Command Personnel. (1) The company commander is responsible to the battalion commander for the adminis- tration, operations, training, discipline, and supply of his company. Among his duties are- (a) Aiding the battalion commander and bat- talion staff in developing plans for the employment of his company. This includes maintaining contact with the battalion commander and keeping him informed of the company situation and of operational changes that he considers necessary for the efficient employment of his company. 10 TAGO 987-C, Aug, (b) Exercising initiative to keep his company constructively employed when no missions are assigned or requested. (c) Analyzing a task and assigning missions to his subordinate leaders. (d) Supervising the execution of work to see that: tasks are carried out properly; cor- rect methods are used; that supply of ma- terials is maintained; difficulties are antici- pated and provided for; and the platoon commanders are given all possible facilities, including personnel and equipment from company headquarters or battalion, to help them execute their assigned work.

This prehistoric man kept the fire going by piling up the moss for cooking and warmth. As man evolved, he invented hunting tools to kill animals, such as the Woolly Mammoth and other fur bearing animals for their skins to make clothes and their meat for food. Roving bands of people attempted to barter for the things they needed or sometimes took the materials they wanted by harming or killing the opposing party. Eventually, mankind learned to cultivate crops allowing him to settle in farms to provide food for his family. With these beginnings of civilization, leaders and councils were picked to organize communities and make decisions for the betterment of the citizenry. The leaders formed governments and declared certain regions for themselves; forming kingdoms, granting councils the ability to make laws, and enforce regulations.

  • Introduction to Mine Clearing Technology
    Introduction to Mine Clearing Technology ABSTRACT This paper presents the technologies and methods developed for mine clearing operations currently used by the military and humanitarian demining organisations. In any mine clearing operation, the operating environment and the type of threats are never the same. Thus, a single method or type of equipment rarely constitutes the most successful means of resolving the problem in terms of time, cost and effectiveness; a combination of tools is more commonly employed to ensure a successful mine clearing mission. This paper aims to give an introduction to and appreciation of the key mine clearing methods and equipment, and the key differences and considerations for military and humanitarian operations. The common methods of demining such as manual demining, explosive mine breaching and mechanical demining will be discussed. The design considerations for mine flails on mine clearing vehicles will also be presented. Tan Chun Gary Wong Hock Lye Bryan Soh Chee Weng Introduction to Mine Clearing 118 Technology Despite the initial development of mine INTRODUCTION clearing concepts as a form of countermeasure against mines during wartime, the real need History of Mines for mine clearing usually begins after the end of hostilities. This is attributed to the very Mines, derived from the Latin word ‘Mina’ nature of why mines were laid in the first place meaning ‘vein of ore’ was originally used to – to deter access to and use of land. Mines laid describe the digging of minerals from the during conflicts are rarely removed at the end earth. Over time, it has become a term used of the conflicts due to the lack of proper mine by military engineers to denote the explosives maps, markings, loss of such maps and markings they lay in the ground during battles.

  • Current and Future Roles and Capabilities of Engineer Robots in Modern Armies
    CURRENT AND FUTURE ROLES AND CAPABILITIES OF ENGINEER ROBOTS IN MODERN ARMIES Michal Kopuletý Abstract: The paper deals with current and future roles of engineer robots in the world armies and especially within Czech Army Corps of Engineers. First chapter gives reader insight into problematics. Second chapter is dedicated to military robots, their definition, features, basic requirements and their taxonomy. Third chapter is focused on current and future roles and capabilities of engineer robots within world armies and also Czech army and gives some general recommendations regarding to future application of engineer robots into military practise. The last chapter summarizes the scientific outputs and briefly inform about possible future use of engineer robots and their importance. Knowledge obtained by studying of scientific and professional literature was assessed by methods of analysis and deduction. Additional information was gathered by interviews with experts. The paper can be used as brief introduction into current and future roles of unmanned/robotic systems within military engineering and as study material for engineer officers, students and other interested persons. Keywords: engineer robot, unmanned system, military engineering 1. Introduction Military engineering (MILENG) covers broad spectrum of activities – from combat to construction. Character and phase of the operation affect type of provided engineer support. Engineer tasks are usually very challenging and specialized. These types of tasks demand large quantity of time, forces, and assets and require special equipment [1]. Traditionally, MILENG tasks have been man power intensive, time-consuming, logistically demanding and dangerous [2]. What is more, military engineering and especially combat engineer tasks are frequently conducted in hostile environment with explosive hazard.

  • Stream 1 Bridging & Gap Crossing
    Page 1 of 17 Defence Leaders© agenda subject to change depending on speaker availability 12th NOVEMBER 2019 CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION, DAY 1 MECHANISED ENGINEERING With the recent renewed peer threat to NATO and allied forces, a possibility of returning to urban terrain warfare has placed greater importance on movement and mobility. The emphasis on manoeuvrability for an active allied force ensures the war fighter can operate efficiently and with battlefield momentum. Maintaining the freedom of movement against a peer threat guarantees the forces fighting capability is not hindered by the terrain obstacles. This renewed threat has identified capability gaps which can be exploited by adversaries and needs to be addressed. While discussing the use of vehicles and autonomy, Combat Engineer 2019 will explore these capability gaps, giving the opportunity for nations to share their unique challenges with supporting the war fighter’s mobility. It will explore this theme with the view to understanding potential solutions that can aid in the future theatres of operation. 0800 - Registration and welcome coffee 0855 - Chairman’s opening remarks Major General (Retd) Mungo Melvin CB OBE, Former GOC UK Support Command and Former Colonel Commandant of the Royal Engineers, British Army SUPPORTING THE MANOEUVRABILITY OF THE WARFIGHTER Primary mission tasks need to be carried out efficiently and rapidly in order to gain a tactical advantage over adversaries. The engineers of any military must maintain the mobility of troops and support the tri-services in being able to move freely in areas of operations. This section will give context to the over-arching near pear threat that we face and how NATO and NATO friendly forces are reacting to protect our allies and to keep the war fighter moving.

  • Mobility and Survivability
    FM 5-10 CHAPTER 3 Mobility and Survivability Mobility and survivability are the primary tasks of the engineer on the battle- field. The platoon leader requires a detailed understanding of this BOS to suc- ceed. This chapter provides the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) needed for the platoon to conduct mobility, countermobility, and survivability. MOBILITY Mobility enables the commander to maneuver tactical units into positions of advantage over the enemy. In the attack, engineers reduce enemy obstacles and fortifications that inhibit maneuver. Expanded engineer reconnaissance capability is needed to identify routes, existing obstacles, and minefields. Open areas that are level provide good sites for aircraft landing strips; however, in most cases, the soil must be stabilized. The application of the breaching fundamentals (suppress, obscure, secure, and reduce {SOSR}) and the organization of the force in terms of support, breach, and assault forces are standard. However, open areas may offer greater opportunity to bypass enemy obstacles because of the greater range of mobility afforded by the terrain. Exercise caution when choosing to bypass enemy obstacles, since the bypass may lead the force to the enemy's engagement area (EA). Additionally, expect the enemy to make extensive use of rapid mine-laying techniques that include SCATMINE delivery systems, as well as more conventional methods of mine emplacement. OBSTACLE BREACHING The platoon leader must decide where the best breach location is. Never breach where the avenue of approach crosses the obstacle. The enemy is sure to have pre- planned artillery there. Pick a location away from obvious breaching sites to reduce the threat of artillery.

UN peace operations are rarely limited to one type of activity. As they work to implement their mandates provided by the United Nations Security Council in order to create conditions for a return to stability, peacekeeping missions may require military units to perform challenging tasks involving the judicious use of force, particularly in situations where the Host Nation is unable to provide security and maintain public order. To meet these complex peacekeeping challenges, military components often play a pivotal role in providing and maintaining a secure environment.
