SAME Roots
1909 – 1919: Army Corps of Engineers published the Professional Memoirs, a service journal.
The seeds for SAME were planted during WWI with the addition of civilian engineers to active duty forces.
Following WWI, a group of regular officers wanted to maintain the spirit of cooperation developed during the war among the military and private sector engineers.

SAME Contemplated
In 1919, a Board of Officers met to consider the establishment of an Association of Engineers to promote the advancement of engineering and related profession– A void existed between the efforts of the military,
government and private industry engineering communities.
– Professional Memoirs did not fulfill the need to bring these communities together.
Working collectively, these groups would satisfy the requirement to understand military engineering service during wartime.

SAME Organized
1920: SAME organized initially to publish a magazine, The Military Engineer. Replaced Professional Memoirs Professional Memoirs assets transferred to The Military Engineer The Editor of the new magazine started to solicit membership in
the new organization A group of Reserve and National Guard officers were invited to join
the SAME Board of Officers New Board of Officers met to form a temporary structure for SAME
and to elect temporary officers. Initial Membership of 3,500

Situation Audit
Communications: face-to-face and IT (Web, VTC…) Government and Private Sector Relationships: Outsourcing
and small business Participation in Professional Organizations: Leaders
encourage membership & participation as mentoring Demographics: DOD downsizing and industry consolidation Technical Competence: Licensing and certifications Inter-Service and Inter-Agency Collaboration: “Joint” war-
fighting and installation solutions

SAME Challenges
High OPTEMPO of uniform services results in reduced military participation
Since the 1980s, military continues to downsize– Work harder to retain and grow military membership
Military and civil service leaders need to promote SAME via mentoring
SAME must better utilize web technology to provide education and training
What are other challenges are seen by Posts?
