Engineering has held a significant role in Marine Corps operations from the turn of the 20th century to today. From crisis response and foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA) to counterinsurgency and large-scale combat operations, Marine Corps engineering has evolved, enabling the Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) to continue to project combat power and accomplish assigned missions. As the Marine Corps adapts its force structure to new operating concepts for great power competition, the role of engineering grows in significance to meet the operational challenges of the FMF.
