18th Engineer Brigade Validated for Afghanistan Deployment

摘要

The 18th Engineer Brigade headquarters in Schwetz-ingen, Germany, completed its validation exercise in February 2011 for deployment to Afghanistan later in the year. The headquarters would deploy off-cycle from its subordinate units, requiring additional coordination throughout the staff to prepare and execute training for the various levels within the brigade. When the brigade arrived in theater, it would be responsible for supporting Regional Commands-East, -North, and -Capital with engineering efforts.
