Combat Engineering is engineering at the sharp end, the source of the vital support skills that allow the Royal Engineers to complete combat and construction missions in difficult conditions all over the world.
On the battlefield, Combat Engineers provide the means to live, move and fight while denying the same means to the enemy. When the enemy is on the move, it’s the job of the Combat Engineer to impede his progress by creating obstacles, destroying bridges, cratering roads and laying anti-tank mines. When his own side is on the move, it’s the Combat Engineer who clears the way, building bridges and supplying basic needs such as drinking water to sustain forces in the field.
