Appendix F
anticipated enemy mission (attack or defend) and consider how enemy engineers are doctrinally employed.
The ENCOORD then develops an estimate of enemy engineer capabilities. To do this, the ENCOORD uses
the S-2 order of battle and knowledge of enemy engineer forces and other assets (combat vehicle
reconnaissance effort or self-entrenching capabilities) that may impact engineer operations. The
ENCOORD must also consider intelligence pertaining to recent enemy engineer activity or TTP.
F-12. The ENCOORD uses the S-2 SITEMP and enemy capability estimate to plot the enemy engineer
effort (obstacle or survivability effort) and its probable location. Coordinating with the S-2, the
ENCOORD recommends IR that confirms or denies enemy engineer capability in the SITEMP. A
summary of the enemy mission and M/CM/S capabilities are as follows:
� Anticipate enemy engineer operations and their impact on the battle.
� Assess threat patterns and capabilities in an asymmetric environment.
� Consider enemy mission and doctrinal-employment of engineers.
� Estimate enemy engineer capabilities based on the—
� S-2 order of battle.
� Threat engineer organizations.
� Personnel and equipment capabilities.
� Recent activity or newly developed TTP.
F-13. Based on the S-2 SITEMP, enemy patterns, and enemy engineer doctrine (TTP), the ENCOORD
plots enemy—
� Mobility assets and their relative location within enemy formations.
� Mine capability (tactical and protective obstacle effort), mine systems, and firing ranges of
artillery-delivered SCATMINEs.
� Engineer reconnaissance assets based on doctrine organization within enemy maneuver units.
� HVTs (bridging assets, breaching assets, SCATMINE delivery systems).
ANALYZE THE ENGINEER MISSION
F-14. Analyze the engineer mission by—
� Identifying specified and implied M/CM/S and general engineering tasks.
� Analyzing friendly mission and M/CM/S capabilities.
� Determining constraints.
� Determining risk, as applied to engineer capabilities.
� Conducting time analysis.
� Developing essential tasks for M/CM/S.
IDENTIFY SPECIFIED AND IMPLIED TASKS
F-15. The ENCOORD identifies specified and implied tasks for M/CM/S, which ultimately results in the
development of essential tasks for M/CM/S (discussed previously in chapter 2).
F-16. Specified tasks are specifically assigned to a unit by higher headquarters. They may be found in the
base order, annexes (ISR annex), and overlays. For engineers, this could include—
� Obstacle zones.
� Obstacle belts with intents.
� Required number of breach lanes.
� Type of breach designated by the higher commander.
F-17. Implied tasks must be performed to accomplish a specified task or the mission, but are not stated in
the higher-headquarters order. For engineers, this could include—
� Obstacle handover coordination during a relief-in-place mission.
� UXO removal or assistance with EOD removal.
� Gap-crossing operation support if the crossing of a river is necessary to accomplish the mission.
