About

Chapter 1 GENERAL ENGINEERING G eneral engineering encompasses those engineer tasks which increase the mobility, survivability, and sustainability of tactical and logistical units to the rear of the forward line of troops (FLOT). Such tasks include construction and repair of lines of communication (LOC), main supply routes (MSR), airfields, and logistica] facilities. While these tasks may be performed as far forward as the brigade rear area of the combat zone, most general engineer tasks are performed behind the division rear boundaries. Repair tasks dominate in well-developed theaters. Construction tasks prevail in less-developed theaters. General engineer missions are usually performed by Engineer Combat Heavy Battalions, Port Construction Companies, Construction Support Companies, Combat Support Equipment Companies, Dump Truck Companies, and Pipeline Construction Support Companies.
