Assured Mobility Section<br />

Figure 1-2. BCT staff organization<br />

1-57. The assured mobility section is an integration cell that can include the air defense artillery (ADA)<br />

officer, engineer coordinator (ENCOORD), provost marshal (PM), CBRN officer, EOD officer, and other<br />

staff members when configured in the BCT. An assured mobility section leader is normally designated to<br />

coordinate section actions and is usually the senior officer of the represented staff members. The purpose<br />

of the assured mobility section is to coordinate all tasks associated with M/CM/S throughout the BCT AO<br />

in coordination with the BCT operations cell. The exact organization and configuration of the assured<br />

mobility section may vary, as can the roles and responsibilities of its members, and should be prescribed in<br />

the unit standing operating procedure (SOP). (The integration of assured mobility within the BCT is<br />

discussed in chapter 2.)<br />

Engineer Coordinator<br />

1-58. The ENCOORD is the special staff officer (usually the senior engineer officer on the staff)<br />

responsible for coordinating engineer assets and operations for the command. (<strong>FM</strong> 3-34) When an organic<br />

engineer staff does not exist at the maneuver battalion level, the ENCOORD is the senior engineer<br />

supporting that unit. When an engineer battalion is task-organized in support of a BCT, the BCT<br />

commander determines if a change will occur in ENCOORD designation. The ENCOORD is normally<br />

located in the main CP, but may be located within the tactical CP based on METT-TC analysis. (See <strong>FM</strong> 3-<br />

34.)<br />

1-59. The ENCOORD’s primary duty is to coordinate engineer operations in support of the combined arms<br />

operation. The ENCOORD must understand the full array of engineer capabilities (combat, general, and<br />

geospatial engineering) available to the force and synchronize them to best meet the needs of the maneuver<br />

commander. The ENCOORD integrates specified and implied engineer tasks into the maneuver unit plan<br />
