The 20th Engineer Brigade deployed to the middle east for nine months serving as the Theater Engineer Brigade, orchestrating construction, security, and route clearance operations. They operated across eight countries in support of Operations FREEDOM'S SENTINEL, INHERENT RESOLVE, and SPARTAN SHIELD. The "Castle" Brigade completed over 230 mobility, countermobility, and survivability projects while saving the government more than $48.3 million by using troop construction instead of contracted construction solutions.
