Should all military engineers consolidate into a separate branch under a Military Corps of Engineers?

Consolidating engineering expertise could streamline things, but losing that embedded engineering knowledge within each branch might be a bigger problem. Think about the unique needs of the Navy vs. the Air Force, a one-size-fits-all engineering corps might not be flexible enough.

What? This is a coalition of American Forces defending against enemies foreign and domestic. Never ever try and separate combat engineers or any other. They should be attached to proper Divisions upon the approval of the men who hold high places at the
Pentagon. Do your service with focus on your MOS and put a clamp on the rest.
Matthew 5:9. - Blessed are the Peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God

I can understand the broader idea of consolidating all military engineers under a single command to streamline operations. However, from a practical standpoint, I believe it’s essential for each branch to maintain its own internal engineering capabilities. Each branch has unique needs, operational cultures, and communication styles, so having specialized engineering units tailored to their specific requirements makes sense.

TMDE in the past worked somewhat in this manner. The 95th Maintenance Co. based at RSA took care of CONUS and Alaska with mobile teams. All of Europe Had 3 Companies that covered Europe and Africa. East Asia had had another company sized group based in S Korea. Every Calibrator had no more than 2 degrees of separation between them. It was a close, tight-knit group of soldiers that provided unparalleled Calibration support worldwide. I was part of it 30 years ago and there have been changes since. What I hear at the reunions every year is that the service doesn't work as well now that calibrators coming out of the school are beings assigned to the divisions to be assigned in non Calibration billets. I agree with your idea of consolidation. When everyone is consolidated information can be passed between them that makes everyone's job easier.

Sir, are you suggesting under the Army merely as we have the largest population and legacy presence in the United States? If going joint with such a suggestion, could it not be controlled with a rotational 3 or 4 star command? Both of my cousins were Army Engineers and served in the 80s as LTC's, I hope to get them to join RP and submit opinion.
