The Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) is one of the more unusual organizations to come out of the Army Modular Force. It has very few organic elements but is capable of providing command and control (C2) for an array of subordinate units. MEB's C2 capacity exceeds that of any other brigade headquarters. The MEBs are uniquely designed for both a warfighting and operational support role. MEBs' elaborate multiple capabilities are a microcosmic parallel with the National Guard's dual roles. The National Guard is organized to carry out dual missions, state and federal. The Guard prepares to serve in both an operations environment and in its local role in support of state missions, mostly in disaster and humanitarian relief operations. The MEB's design is well-suited to support both state and federal National Guard missions.
