What does UE stand for?

During the development of the design, the Army had used terms such as unit of employment (UEy or UEx) and unit of action (UA) to describe various units and their levels of responsibility.

The emerging doctrine will now show an initial detainee collection point (IDCP) at the brigade combat team level, a detainee holding area (DHA) at the unit of employment or division level, and a theater internment facility (TIF) at the theater level.

As the Army transforms Combat, Combat Support, and Combat Service Support into the Unit of Employment x (UEx) and Unit of Employment y (UEy) forces, the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has designed a Medical Battalion capable of providing scalable, flexible, and modular Health Service Support in support of the UA and UEx/UEy forces.

In the future, a unit, known as the fires brigade, will serve in a unit of employment (UEx), which will be roughly the size of a division, with BCTs subordinate to it.

Though we are busy fielding Stryker-equipped engineer companies in the Stryker brigade combat teams (SBCTs) and will develop companies as integral parts to the maneuver-based brigade units of action (UAs), (1) the bulk of our Regiment must adapt to the fundamentals of the future Army, (primarily at the unit of employment [UE] level) that call for tailored, scalable, modular, and responsive forces.

LTG Riggs, the Director of the Objective Force Task Force, explained the Army's vision for the Future Combat Systems and its new force structure, the unit of action and the unit of employment.

They don't have a degree in interviewing and how to get hired,'' said Lynn Taylor, research director for OfficeTeam, a unit of employment services firm Robert Half International.

The higher level command and support organization for the UAs currently is called a unit of employment x (UEx).
