Engineer mission planning and capabilities (continued) Organization Capabilities Engineer Battalion (continued) • Provide technical advice, assistance, and training in mine warfare, field fortifications, camouflage, demolitions, and engineer reconnaissance techniques. • Plan, supervise, and coordinate survey and design teams when augmented by engineer brigade for construction or clearance missions. • Coordinate with medical brigade to provide for site preparation, construction or modification of waste disposal areas for combat support hospitals. • Emplace division managed multi-spectral decoys, construct decoy positions, and support decoy pattern of life. MILITARY POLICE D-2. Military police units are manned, equipped, and trained to operate across the range of military operations. Military police organize for purpose and provide technical capabilities that enhance the support area commander’s ability to control terrain, protect populations, defeat enemy forces, and consolidate gains. Military police do this through their three military police disciplines of police operations, detention operations, and security and mobility support. Military police headquarters cannot generally conduct all three military police disciplines at the same level of priority; therefore, commanders must anticipate, prioritize, and synchronize the employment of military police assets. Table D-2 provides an overview of military police capabilities at the battalion level and below that may be a tenant unit of the corps or division support area. For additional information on military police operations, see FM 3-39. Table D-2.
