Анотація: The article investigates the historical development of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a key unit of military engineering in the United States. It shows that the Corps performs military engineering tasks such as the design and management of military construction projects, the building of defensive positions, fixed and floating bridges, mine clearance, and civilian tasks, including construction and restoration, maintenance of nuclear reactors, and environmental projects. The importance of the Corps as one of the largest state engineering and construction management agencies operating in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East is substantiated. The necessity of studying the Corps' experience for the further reform and development of the State Special Transport Service, considering its goals and objectives, is substantiated. The importance of examining key aspects of the development and activities of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the main vectors for the reform and development of the State Special Transport Service is highlighted. It is noted that the State Special Transport Service is a specialized military formation within the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, designed to ensure the stable functioning of transport during peacetime and special periods. This is comparable to the tasks of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, considering that the State Special Transport Service includes demining, pontoon-bridge, construction, restoration, diving, and other special units. It concludes that the research results can be used to create a scientific basis for the reform and development of the State Special Transport Service, address issues in the construction and restoration of military infrastructure facilities, provide technical support for Ukraine's unified transport system and critical infrastructure, and enhance the capabilities of the State Special Transport Service.
