The United States Army Corps of Engineers has taken on a new role in the Global War on Terror, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have been forced to take on new responsibilities in difficult environments to assist the war fighters from all of the military services in combat.

Operation Iraqi Freedom has shown the diverse abilities of American combat engineers. The ongoing developments in theatre have tasked the Army engineers forward deployed who are engaged in combat services and combat services support. Stability operations have focused the military on the rebuilding Iraq and stabilizing of the Iraqi infrastructure.

The civil support missions that have been tasked to the Army Corps of Engineers have been seen across a broad spectrum of rebuilding and stabilizing efforts in Iraq. One of the huge undertakings of the USACE is the rebuilding of critical infrastructure such as road networks, airports, railways and critical power grids has been. Their integration with other commands such as Army Material Command USAID and Civil Affairs is also integral to the rebuilding in Iraq.

Col. Haight discuses the shift in focus to Afghanistan has also become a focal point for combat engineers in all of the armed forces. The stability and reconstruction operations for rebuilding Afghanistan have created a METL for tasks to be completed both long term and short term in all provincial Afghanistan reconstruction efforts.

Good morning, Dr Davison. Thanks for the note - this is one of our iFrame presentations, which is slightly different. These feature slides - the control bar at the top right of the frame has arrow buttons that allow you to manually move through the slides. Let me know if this helps. - the Editor
