As we approach the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army Engineer Regiment,
it is time to reflect on the remarkable achievements of our sappers,
mappers, builders, bridgers, divers, firefighters, and power providers.
Since 1775, the Engineer Regiment has been at the forefront of our Nation, responding to armed conflict, conducting peacekeeping missions, providing disaster relief, and building critical infrastructure. The mark of the Regiment is evident in many places, and its proud history and traditions continue to shape its future. The innovation efforts of engineer units—focusing on modernizing equipment, technologies, and training methods—are remarkable, and the Engineer Regiment is playing a pivotal role in changing the U.S. Army for the future.

The Systems and Training Integration Division Directorate (STID) Directorate of Training and Leader Development (DOTLD), U.S. Army Engineer School, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, has created the U.S. Army Engineer Training Library on Microsoft Teams,^© (<https://armyeitaas.sharepoint
-mil.us/teams/U.S.ArmyEngineerTrainingLibrary/SitePages/OnlineEngineerLibrary.aspx>). The Teams page is meant to give young leaders access to relevant information to help develop comprehensive training plans
at the squad, platoon, and company levels. You will find training and supporting documents for our engineering systems here. If you click on the “Engineer Blackboard Training” tab at the top of the Teams page, it will take you to a page displaying the courses that we currently host on Blackboard.^© If you do not see what you are looking for, click the “Files” tab. It will open another tab with file folders that align with our engineer branch. If you open a file folder (the “Construction” folder, for example), you will find subfolders for systems with shared content. Whether an operator technical manual, operator new-equipment training material, or individual tasks, if it’s in the files, STID has loaded it to share with you. If you cannot find what you need, please email the STID team at <STID_FLW@army.mil>.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Engineer Regiment, we honor the dedication and sacrifices of its members. The Regiment’s commitment to innovation, modernization, and excellence will continue to shape its future.
