Changes in security environment generated changes in the military doctrines as well in past decades. Europe could witness large scale force reductions and modernisation. In the name of modernisation, several reorganisation processes have taken place in the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) recently. In my study paper I examine the real situation of engineer support after the restructuring, whether the new organisations are capable of meeting the latest requirements to engineer support and whether the existing capacities are sufficient. My conclusion is the following. Presuming the use of battalion battle groups and multipurpose preparation the engineer support for the battle groups can be provided through the reallocation of existing forces and assets. Nevertheless in the case of a simultaneous deployment of the forces of the HDF (primarily in conventional military operations) the engineer support to operations is not ensured.
