An army military engineer is a member of any branch of the armed forces responsible for the design and construction and also the destruction of offensive, defensive and logistical structures for warfare. This term is used in military units throughout the world and has been used since ancient times, extended in modern terms to include the laying and disarming of minefields and booby traps.
History
During World War II, every division contained an Engineer battalion. Transported in trucks or M3 half tracks, the Engineer Combat platoons were organized into operating squads armed with rifles, one machine-gun squad for defense, and sometimes also included a bulldozer or M4 Sherman with a bulldozer blade. These platoons were assigned out to assist other units in the field, and only fought cohesively as a full company during the Battle of the Bulge when the situation became desperate.
Tactics & Tips
- Engineers are extremely easy to suppress and should be kept out of heavy combat.
- Use flamethrower engineers in conjunction with riflemen to weed garrisoned MG42's out of buildings. Bait the MG with the Riflemen and flank the building with the engineers to roast the HMG squad out.
- Engineers' demolition charges can be used to blow up obstacles, lay traps, or offensively to destroy enemy base buildings.
- Engineers do a lot of damage against panzergrenadiers as they have no penalty towards their armor type, but riflemen do.
