Engineer Branch

Engineer Branch provides specialist, professional advice throughout HQ ARRC. In addition, the Chief Engineer exercises co-ordinating authority over assigned engineer and geographic assets, enabling the ARRC to go and act where it needs, in order to best support COMARRC’s intent. Utilising modern, versatile computer systems the engineer geographic staff provide coherent analysis and interpretation of Environmental Information, thus portraying the physical environment and informing the HQ and force elements under command. This fusion capability helps underpin ARRC’s decision superiority. Furthermore, by ensuring that all aspects of engineering are considered throughout the Core Process (Plan, Refine and Execute), the support of engineer elements can be harmonised and optimised to produce the foundation engineer capabilities of Design, Resource and Construct in accordance with campaign priorities.

The ARRC engineer force package will be versatile and flexible, able to undertake a range of tasks across the spectrum of conflict wherever required. It will be vital to the successful launch of any operation, and will be in the vanguard of any deployment. Combat Support Engineering (those military tasks associated with direct support to current or imminent operations) can be conducted by military engineers of any service or component. The emphasis is on speed and a high degree of improvisation fulfilling shortterm tactical requirements.

Force Support Engineering (the longer-term preparation for, and indirect support to, ongoing or future operations as well as sustaining the force) is the predominant focus pre and post conflict. The emphasis is on enduring solutions, fulfilling a longer-term operational requirement. The scarcity of engineers dictates that ARRC assigned forces must be highly adaptable, utilising technology and innovation at every level in order to conduct either form of engineering

Engineer Branch staff are able to provide professional advice on geographic support, logistics and infrastructure engineering, contracting, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, engineer related intelligence matters and the gamut of general engineer tasks.
