Community Mission
The mission of the SAME Warfighter Engineering Community of Interest (COI) is to facilitate discussion among the military services and industry on current joint engineer operations and the issues that need to be addressed for future joint engineer operations.
- Include combatant command engineers, field commanders, training center commanders and supporting contractors.
- Facilitate discussion among the Engineer Officer training centers at AFIT, AES, CECOS and the Marine Corps Center of Excellence on training and education of engineer forces to support the combatant commanders.
The desired end state is the increased relevancy of SAME within the Joint Force and Component Engineer Communities while supporting Contingency Operations.

Construction COI: Accelerating Innovation: The NIH Modular Laboratory Journey
This webinar takes an inside look at how modular construction enabled the delivery of a $34M NIH research laboratory 18 months ahead of schedule without compromising quality or performance. This session will highlight how a fully modular, design-build approach accelerated speed-to-market, maintained stringent aesthetic and functional requirements, and relied on rapid design decisions, rigorous spec reviews, and the right project team. -

SAME Energy Security Webinar: Exploring the Challenges at Mountain Home AFB’s New Water Treatment Plant
Mountain Home AFB in Idaho currently uses groundwater to meet the base’s water needs. The aquifer that supplies the groundwater is rapidly depleting and is expected to run out of water in 30 years. This webinar provides an overview of the 15+ year effort to identify new water supplies and how the base chose to get water from the C.J. Strike Reservoir along the Snake River, 14 miles away.
