Today, Soldiers who reside in building 20340 were recognized for their accomplishment in having the best barracks in the BN. Their efforts resulted in a 3 day pass and a day to wear civil clothes. This competition is a result from the Enlisted Soldier Council, which is a panel of soldiers who live in the barracks that form a voice that brings issues and recommendations to the BN CSM and 1SG’s to help form solutions to assist Soldiers and give them better opportunities.

*ANNOUNCEMENT* The Fourth Amendment - Come to Work Safe, Live Safe order - effective immediately, has been adjusted by the Commanding General.

For those who like the 'bottom line up front', here’s a summary:

Feb. 4, Secretary of Defense memo:
1) All personnel are to adhere to the memo on - use of masks and other public health measures - and as directed below.

This Fourth Amendment updates all previous versions of the order and adjusts the following:

1) local authority’s directives regarding essential activities, travel and facial coverings; on- or off-installation.
2) The directed curfew has been lifted.
3) Visitor restrictions changed to allow residents to host visitors from one (1) other household at a time, up to a maximum of 10 attendees in a single gathering in a personal residence (whether indoors or in a front/back yard).
4) Visitation within the barracks – one soldier may host one (1) other visitor in their room, not to exceed a total of four (4) persons per suite. “Suite” means the common area and individual barracks rooms.

Directives that remain in place include:

1) No off-post dining (i.e. no sit-down dining – indoors or outdoors).
2) Must comply with all El Paso city ordinances and directives.
3) Mask wear as specified in the previous Come to Work Safe, Live Safe Orders and SECDEF memo.

Sapper Steel,

Thank you to everyone who had a role in the Annual Burning of the Colors ceremony last evening. This somber event was a little different this year due to the COVID restrictions and safety measures that are in place on Fort Bliss. The members of the Second Engineer Association who were unable to attend this year were greatly missed. If you missed the event, the live stream can be viewed from prior posts on this page. See below for a few images from the ceremony.

Sapper Steel Family,

Yesterday the leadership of the Second Engineer Battalion conducted our annual Castle Crucible. This event tests our leaders both physically and mentally. This year looked a little different than those of years past, but nonetheless it was still a demanding event and those that participated are surely still sore today. We hope you enjoy these pictures from the event. Note that any pictures depicting injuries or wounds were purely simulated injuries for training purposes.

12/15/2020

Tonight 2d Engineer Battalion will be reenacting the Burning of the Colors and honoring those Engineers that fought at Kunu-Ri during the Korean War. The ceremony will begin at 7:30 PM (19:30) MST; the link to the broadcast via Facebook Live will be available at 7:15 PM

12/11/2020

Don’t forget to come out and receive a teddy bear and candy from Santa. Show your support as our FRG team has worked hard behind the scenes to make this happen. If you have any questions reach out to your FRLs.
