Summary/Abstract: Following the events of 1989, a radical change of the Romanian political regime took place, which had as its main effect the democratization of the Romanian society, a change with special implications of a political, economic, social, and implicit military nature. From a military point of view, the Romanian Army underwent extensive transformations that took place in several successive stages. These consisted of starting the process of modernizing the military body on all levels: doctrinal and organizational changes in command and force structures, the concepts of training and their use in operations, and starting the process of replacing certain categories of equipment and some categories of weapons systems with newer and more efficient ones. All these transformations also affected the military engineering branch, in terms of the organization and attributions of the military engineering command structures, as well as the military engineering force structures on all levels (organization, endowment, training). In the following lines, we will make a brief review of the transformations which the Romanian army and implicitly the military engineering command structures were subjected to, in the period after 1989.
