I'm not sure if those Combat Engineering Brigades ever got filled out in the late '90s divisions. For the purposes of T2k, I would stick to the battalion.

I'll repeat the above, the US Army lumps nearly all engineering tasks in the CE battalions of the divisions. A corps would then have a brigade (at least one) with more engineering assets for bigger projects. Some battalions' companies are specialized for bridging, most are generalists. I've played a lot of WW2 games, and the US Army seemed to have a lot of engineer brigades, combat or other.

For the purposes I think you are looking for, it would seem you want a specialized company of the 7th CE Battalion, or something attached from XI Corps' brigade. Just say the battalion CO has designated this company or platoon for that designated task. By July 2000, I would be sure that such has happened in many areas. There may be some "volunteers" from Navy or Air Force engineer units that aren't needed so much, like former airfield construction & maintenance groups.
