Our Mission
Lead collaboration in support of our national security priorities through advancing three strategic goals: Drive Partnerships, Deliver Solutions, and Develop People.
About the Mobile Post
The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) leads collaborative efforts to identify and resolve national security infrastructure-related challenges. Founded in 1920, SAME unites public and private sector individuals and organizations from architecture, engineering, construction, environmental and facility management, cyber security, project planning, contracting and acquisition, and related disciplines in support of national security.
The Mobile Post accomplishes this goal locally by hosting monthly meetings and professional/social activities attended by members of local government, the military, private industry, students, and other interested parties. We also serve our community through programs dedicated to STEM Education and Outreach, Veterans Support, and Scholarships. Our Post is supported by the national Society of American Military Engineers and publications such as The Military Engineer, which also promotes the interests and goals of our society and its members. Please peruse our website to discover the benefits of SAME Mobile Post membership.
