SIDE 2 -

The 35th Engineer Brigade is a combat engineer brigade of the United States Army National Guard of Missouri based at Fort Leonard Wood. It is a subordinate unit of the 35th Infantry Division.

Originally constituted as an infantry regiment, the brigade has undergone several changes before reaching its current state. Deployed at least twice during Operation Iraqi Freedom, it is currently serving in the Baghdad area.

As an active army national guard unit, the 35th Engineer Brigade is not a permanent formation, instead only being called upon when needed. It is subordinate to the 35th Infantry Division, which is also a reserve unit.

The brigade currently consists of four engineer battalions as well as several other units, in addition to its Headquarters and Headquarters Company and Special Troops Battalion. These units include the 110th Engineer Battalion based in Kansas City, Missouri, the 1140th Engineer Battalion based in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the 1138th Engineer Battalion based at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, and the 203rd Engineer Battalion, based in Joplin, Missouri.
