FORT PICKETT, Va. –
Capt. Daniel B. Glass took command of the West Point-based 237th Engineer Company, 276th Engineer Battalion, 329th Regional Support Group from Capt. Trevon S. Johnson during a change of command ceremony April 10, 2026, at Fort Pickett, Virginia.
Lt. Col. Ryan P. Miner, commander of the 276th, presided over the ceremony and the traditional exchange of unit colors, signifying the transfer of command from Johnson to Glass.
The 237th is currently undergoing a conversion, and will become the 237th Combat Engineer Company - Infantry, or CEC-I. Part of the transformation will include deactivating the 229th Brigade Engineer Battalion, much of which will be absorbed into the CEC-I. Part of the newly converted unit will fall under the operational control of the 116 Mobile Brigade Combat Team for their Joint Readiness Training Center rotation, coming up later in 2026.
“The U.S. Army is transforming rapidly,” said Glass. “The 237th CEC-I will be a combination of three legacy Brigade Engineer Battalion companies, as well as a legacy sapper company,” said Glass. “Transformation into a CEC-I represents a revival of the Combat Engineering discipline. It’s a maneuver formation, designed to be self-supporting and tailorable, capable of breaching obstacles, bridging gaps, building obstacles and digging in the infantry.”
The transformation is part of a restructuring which includes the transition of the 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team to a Mobile Brigade Combat Team, which was formalized in 2025. When complete, the CEC-I will be based in Fredericksburg, with a detachment in West Point. The unit specializes and focuses on combat engineering, improving mobility for friendly forces, emplacing minefields and constructing fighting positions and fortifications.
During the ceremony, Johnson thanked the Soldiers of the unit for their hard work during his 18-month command.
“Teamwork is the ongoing action of collaboration towards a shared goal. Teamwork is and will always be the ingredient to success,” stated Johnson. “Teamwork is what makes this unit thrive and succeed.”
