About

basic purposes: to support and increase the effectiveness of friendly forces and to impede, block, or canalize the maneuver of enemy forces. Engineer combat units accomplish their basic missions by construction and destruction activities. Combat engi- neering includes construction and maintenance of routes of com- munication in the combat zone ; construction of field fortifications, barriers, and obstacles; and destruction of installations and line of communication (LOG) facilities to hinder the mobility of the enemy. Combat engineering, in the broadest sense, includes some pioneering tasks which may be accomplished by all arms and services. However, every effort should be made to avoid dissipa- tion of the engineer potential on tasks of this nature.
