On 16 June, 1775, the Continental Congress resolved, "That there be one Chief
Engineer at the Grand Army... That two assistants be employed under him..." This
marked the beginning of the Corps of Engineers. In the following year a number
of individuals were given appointments as engineers or assistant engineers in
the Continental Army. The mission of the Army Engineer Corps is to provide Land
Component specialists with the joint engineer capabilities required to assure
the mobility of the force and achieve victory in any military operation. All
personnel qualified with primary or secondary Army military occupation
specialites are authorized.
