You have a lot of room for latitude. By 2000, engineer battalions might well have been reorganized into composite formations. I served in the 4th Engineer Battalion, 4th Infantry Division. The 4th was a combat engineer formation; we had a lot of equipment that could be used for survivability as well as mobility. Some of that same gear will be found in a construction battalion. It’s entirely plausible that the 7th Engineers would have been organized into a composite outfit, since the 5th ID was setting out more-or-less on its own and would need the heavy junk engineers just as much as the combat engineers. Alternatively, the combat engineers might have been made organic to the brigades or even battalions they served.
