Blackanthem Military News FORT DRUM, New York - Fort Drum has been identified to receive a Maneuver Enhancement Brigade by fiscal year 2013, adding up to 1,500 Soldiers, bringing its overall growth total to almost 8,000 Soldiers since 2003.
"The continued growth at Fort Drum is a sign of the Army's understanding of our ability to grow, both on the installation and in our neighboring communities, in a measured and sustainable way," said Maj. Gen. Michael Oates, 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum installation commander.
The mission for Army Maneuver Enhancement Brigades is to provide protection for the brigade's supported force through communications, engineering, explosive ordnance disposal, military police, chemical, air defense and civil affairs capabilities. The brigade also provides a tactical combat force for offensive and defensive force protection. Each maneuver enhancement brigade is uniquely tailored for its mission.
Maneuver Enhancement Brigades are one of several types of Multifunctional Support Brigades designed to operate at the brigade, division or corps level but may be assigned to a variety of joint task force headquarters while deployed.
The Army's "Grow the Army" stationing plan, released today, is a long-term blueprint to support accelerated growth and force structure realignment as well as improve readiness to meet future challenges.
Under the Grow the Army initiative, the Army will grow six Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, activate eight Support Brigades and restation two others. The Grow the Army plan was developed with the President's January 2007 approval of a 74,200 Soldier increase in Army end strength to accelerate growth and to realign force structure across the Active and Reserve components.
The Army used Military Value Analysis model consistent with the Base Realignment and Closure process to determine which Army installations are capable of supporting four key categories: growth capacity, power projection, training and well being. The end result of the analysis and results from a programmatic environmental impact statement were combined to determine the future unit stationing.
The stationing process is complex and requires synchronization of many efforts to ensure the Army sustains its global commitments as well as Soldier and Family quality of life.
