SIDE 2 -

The 416th Engineer Command mission is to command and control engineer assets to provide the full spectrum of engineering services in the supported theater, for both war and operations other than war, to include but not limited to counter-mobility, mobility, survivability, and general engineering. The stated mission of the 416th is to deploy to the AOR and provide theater-level engineer support. This entails commanding, controlling and performing operational level engineering, topographic and construction missions and facilitates the operational maneuver of decisive forces to destroy the enemy. Parkhurst Army Reserve Center is home to the 416th Engineer Command

The 416th Engineer Command Headquarters (minus), commanded by Maj. Gen. Terrence D. Mulcahy, became the command element of ARCENT's 416th Engineer Group. Those turned out to be the last units called up during the initial deterrent or defensive phase of Operation DESERT SHIELD.
