  has a target acquisition platoon (counterbattery and countermortar radars) organized and equipped to quickly
  detect,and accurately locate,classify,and report indirect fire from enemy mortars,artillery,and rockets to
  permit their immediate engagement with counterfire. The information provided includes the point of origin,
  predicted point of impact, radar cross section, and velocity. The battalion receives anFSC for sustainment
  purposes,normally in a direct support relationship.The battalion receives an FSC for sustainment purposes
  (see chapter 9), normally in a direct support relationship. (SeeATP 3-11.23for additional information.)
  Note.Paragraphs 1-13through 1-27in this section discuss the brigade engineer battalion (BEB)
  and the brigade support battalion (BSB) in the BCT. This discussion includes the differences in
  these battalion formations for each type of BCT (IBCT,SBCT,and ABCT).
  1-13. The BEB provides a baseline of combat capabilities to the BCT that can be augmented
  with specialized(cid:3) units from echelons above brigade (see (cid:41)(cid:48)(cid:3) 3-34). The BEB has a
  headquarters and headquarters(cid:3)company, two engineer companies, a signal company, military intelligence
  company, a tactical unmanned(cid:3)aircraft system (known as TUAS) platoon (located in the military
  intelligence company), and a CBRN(cid:3) reconnaissance platoon (located in the headquarters and
  headquarters company). The command and support(cid:3)relationship between these units dictate whether
  the BEB logistically supports or coordinates support with(cid:3)the BCT, the BSB, or other unit higher
  headquarters. Unless the BCT directs otherwise, the BEB retains(cid:3)command and support relationships
  with organic and attached units, regardless of location on the battlefield.(cid:3) Companies may be task
  organized further to maneuver task forces or a subordinate company or troop. The(cid:3)battalion receives
  an FSC for sustainment purposes (see chapter 9), normally in a direct support relationship.(See ATP
  3-34.22 for additional information.)
  1-14. The headquarters and headquarters company of the BEB consists of a battalion headquarters,
  company(cid:3)headquarters, CBRN reconnaissance platoon, medical section, and unit ministry team. The
  headquarters and(cid:3) headquarters company commander assists the engineer battalion commander in
  designating the location of(cid:3)the headquarters and headquarters company operations center. The battalion
  commander directs the location(cid:3)of the company. The company units (not including detachments) receive
  their missions from the battalion(cid:3)commander.
  1-15. The engineer battalion headquarters consists of a command section and staff sections. Staff sections
  consist of the personnel staff officer (S-1), intelligence staff officer (S-2), operations staff officer (S-3),
  logistics staff officer (S-4), and signal staff officer (S-6). The battalion’s operations section is responsible
  for(cid:3)training, operations, and plans for the battalion. The operations section includes combat (see ATP
  3-34.22),(cid:3)general (see ATP 3-34.40), and construction surveyor (see ATP 3-34.40) engineers. A CBRN

  1-16. In some instances, the BCT commander may direct the BEB to secure one or both of the BCT’s
  command posts (CPs),assign the BEB to their own area of operations,or give the BEB responsibility for a
  base perimeter or area defense. A significant change to the engineer battalion mission may affect its ability
  to provide engineer support to the BCT. The BCT staff weights the level of risks associated with these
  missions and may recommend additional engineer augmentation from echelons above brigade units to
  mitigate potential negative effects.
  1-17. The two engineer companies of the BEB provide the BCT with the minimum capability to perform
  mobility,countermobility,and survivability tasks during the conduct of decisive action. These tasks include
  bypassing, marking, and breaching obstacles, assisting in the assault of fortified positions, emplacing
  obstacles to shape terrain,constructing or enhancing survivability positions,conducting route reconnaissance
  and information collection,and identifying and clearing explosive hazards. Supporting these tasks maintains
  the BCT’s freedom of maneuver and inhibits the enemy’s ability to mass and maneuver. Each company is
  slightly different, but the company’s primary focus is to support the combat engineering discipline with
  breaching,gap crossing,survivabilityassets,and route clearance capabilities.
