Talk:911th Engineer Company

Unspecified source for File:911th Patch.JPG
I found File:911th Patch.JPG and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Unsupported Comment
The follwoing comments are nothing short of silly: "The 911th Engineer Company is an elite unit consisting of specialized personnel and top-dollar equipment. They are also not as limited as other agencies within the United States Department of Defense. Although part of the U.S. Army, the unit has very few restrictions when it comes to basic rules. The unit is part of a larger chain of command as any military unit is, except for the fact that the distance between the "Top" and the unit itself is relatively short."

They reflect unsupported comments that are clearly someone's personal opinion vice actual doctrinal and operational concepts.

This comment is flat out wrong, as the MDW CG does not report direct to the President. "The MDW Commanding General is the overall authority for the use and long-term implementation of the 911th Engineer Company, and he or she reports to the President of the United States.[citation needed]"

In both cases, the comments sounds as if they were written by some 21 year old PFC who has an inflated opinion about his unit and has no idea how doctrinally the unit is tasked or operates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.76.170.229 (talk) 20:48, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

The 911th Engineer Company reports to the 12th Aviation Battalion, who reports to the Army Air Operations Group, who reports to the MDW commander, who reports to the Chief of Staff of the Army. The unit does not report directly to the President.

Fair use rationale for File:911th Patch.JPG
File:911th Patch.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Dead link
The second link goes to what the server would like us to believe is a 404-it is meant to look like the old internet explorer 404 page. Ether way, it isn't going where it is supposed to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.159.180.63 (talk) 19:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Clarification & Terminology
"It is one of the only technical rescue companies in the United States Department of Defense." Are there other technical rescue units in the DOD? If so, are all such designated as 'companies'? Would 'units' be a better term for use here? Irish Melkite (talk) 23:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
