Organization
The 36th Engineer Brigade is part of III Corps, and consists of a Headquarters and Headquarters Company, which is located at Fort Hood, Texas and six engineering battalions:
- 2nd Engineer Battalion, White Sands Missile Range
- 8th Engineer Battalion, Fort Hood
- 11th Engineer Battalion, Fort Benning
- 20th Engineer Battalion, Fort Hood
- 62nd Engineer Battalion, Fort Hood
- 92nd Engineer Battalion, Fort Stewart
Additionally, the 507th Firefighting Detachment and the 557th Firefighting Detachment are also assigned to the brigade.
The brigade was the first of the US Army's Engineer Brigades to be converted to a modular design. This means that the Brigade can be deployed and sustain itself independently, without a division or corps level command supporting it. Additionally, the brigade's design allows it to take command of additional units within a theatre of operations, allowing for greater versatility on the battlefield.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
—Henry George (1839–1897)
