As part of the Army's transformation to a modular, brigade-based structure, the maneuver enhancement (ME) brigade supports the National Military Strategy, Joint Concepts, and the Army Strategic Planning Guidance/Army Campaign Plan. This support brigade will enhance the full dimensional protection and freedom of maneuver of supported Army, joint, or multinational headquarters across the full range of military operations. During major combat operations, the brigade could oversee river crossing, protect forces and critical infrastructure, and reinforce brigade combat teams with tailored engineer, military police, air/missile defense, chemical or other supporting capabilities. The ME brigade does not replace theater functional brigade headquarters, but provides an intermediate multifunctional capability. The unit might also exploit sensitive sites, support special operations units, or sever as joint security coordinator (JSC). After recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Secretary of Defense tasked the Army to develop modular forces, like ME brigades, to specifically conduct stabilization and reconstruction missions. This paper will analyze emerging ME brigade mission sets and recommend further refinements to concepts for employment in a joint, interagency, and multinational environment.
