Organizing the Corps of Engineers a. In 1775 the Continental Congress provided for a chief engineer with two assistants "at the Grand Army." General Washington appointed Richard Gridley as the first Chief Engineer. Gridley, in accepting his appointment, declared himself for the colonies against his mother coun- try, England.

These engineers built the siege works and fortifications at Yorktown that brought final victory for the colonies.
