2d Platoon, Company B, 2d Combat Engineer Battalion Combat Engineers are tasked with a broad and difficult mission: to provide the BLT with the mobility, counter-mobility, survivability and general engineering skills. An engineer squad is capable of destroying enemy obstacles and breaching minefields to give the tactical commander the desired rates of advance. Engineers can construct obstacles and emplace minefields to channelize the enemy. Engineers are tasked with building bunkers and hardening areas so the BLT can survive the enemy onslaught unscathed. General engineering skills include: water production, electrical power production and carpentry. The hardest part of our mission is communicating with the infantry. The grunt talk , as we fondly call it, of BLT 2f6 changes with geographic location. The following are examples of the mindless dribble that the engineers have had to try to work with. The list could go on, but as they would probably take too long to read it, here are a few: ITALY Individual units will bivouac in their training areas CFind a spot clear of cow dip and sleepy FRANCE Engineers are going to De Garrigues for training CGO to De Garrigues, but end up at Brignoles . . . for unscheduled trainingj SPAIN Provide COC security CGO up into the mountains, protect us against goat attacks . . .

That elite band of brothers, forceful yet dynamic, whose soul purpose in life is to put metal-on- metal. The long range of the T.O.W. provides new meaning to Ma Bell's phrase, Reach out and touch someone. What is a T.O.W.? Could it be as our fellow Marines refer to us as Tired of Walkingn? No, actually it is an Anti-Tank section comprised of a rogue gallery of Marines. As we look over the Section, our eyes are drawn to the central figures. The Section Leader, SSgt Mulk Monster Mulkey, that irrepressible man set on developing pain with his death runs while the growing rumble of regurgitated breakfast echos in our minds. To help in his relentless pursuit, he has his henchmen, the Squad Leaders, Sgt Big Al Alexander with 1st Squad, Highcenter Crew , notorious for finding every hole where a HUMMV can get stuck. Sgt Coop the Scoop Cooper with 2d Squad, The Searchers , a map and compass in hand, riding off into the sunset, never actually knowing where they will turn up. Sgt Bust Ass Batchelor with the 3d Squad, The Schemers , always ready with their Zulu Mikes and other fast moves. Finally, Cpl Bum Scoop Barrios with the 4th Squad, famed for flying the friendly skies yet forced to eat someone else's dust. This is T.O.W. Section, the leading edge of death and destruction that is guaranteed to blow your mind . . . 1 3 I i Ti SSgt Mulkey
