This monograph analyzes the capability of U.S. Army combat
engineers to provide responsive survivability support to AirLand
battle tactical operations. The discussion compares the abilities
of the current engineer force with the protection requirements of
the maneuver force. This issue is important because our AirLand
Battle doctrine cannot be executed if our forces do not survive the
lethality of the modern battleground. This monograph examines
survivability concepts and requirements and investigates the best
methods for attaining the degree of protection necessary to
preserve the combat potential of the fighting force. The discussion
begins with a consideration of the theoretical and doctrinal
aspects of protection and survivability. The focus of analysis is
on the heavy division in middle to high intensity operations. The
importance of assessing prudent tactical survivability requirements
is supported by a review of unit experiences and lessons learned at
the National Training Center. The Soviet Army engineer force and
its historically-oriented approach to protection is contrasted with
the American combat engineer experience to illustrate the serious
deficiency in survivability capability in our army today. The
monograph concludes with an assessment of the current and future
requirements for tactical protection measures and a recommendation
on the best courses of action to pursue. The study suggests that to
be effective on the AirLand battlefield, defensive survivability
measures must support a decisive transition to offensive
operations.
