The 713th EN CO (Sapper) provides command and control of combat engineer platoons that will execute mobility, countermobility, survivability, and general engineering missions in support of maneuver Brigade Combat Teams (BCT). Specifically, Platoons will conduct hasty route clearance, dismounted breach, and limited countermobility. When augmented, the 713th EN CO (Sapper) will provide deliberate route clearance, mounted breaching, gap crossing, countermobility, and general engineering capabilities.

Currently, the 713th Sapper Company is deployed to Afghanistan conducting Route Clearance Patrols in Kandahar Province. A transfer of authority (TOA) takes place between the 937^th Route Clearance Company and the Indiana Army National Guard’s 713^th Sapper Company. By moving their guidon to the front of the formation the Sappers accept responsibility to plan, support, and execute route clearance patrols daily.
