About

C 1, FM 5-135 6-27. Security at Worksites a. The amount of security the engineer com- mander furnishes at the worksite depends on the engineer mission, guerrilla activity in the areas, the terrain, and the nearness of the enemy. For larger tasks, such as the engineer battalion constructing a road, the division usually provides the security forces. For smaller tasks, such as a company or platoon constructing a bridge, when security forces are not provided by the supported unit, the individual in charge of the construction proj- ect provides security with personnel from his unit. b. In forward areas of the combat zone, the principal types of enemy action against which the working parties take security measures are dismounted patrols, motor or mechanized raids, and air attacks. Near the rear of the zone, there is less danger of enemy ground action, except guerrilla attacks.
