  Combat engineering vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The EBG combat engineering vehicle, based on the AMX 30 tank, is used by the engineers of the French Army for a variety of missions.
Combat engineering vehicles (CEVs) are armoured vehicles built for engineering work on the battlefield or for the transportation of sappers.
Such attachments may include dozer blades, mine rollers, cranes etc. An example of an engineering vehicle of this kind is a bridgelaying tank, which replaces the turret with a segmented hydraulic bridge.

 McGraw-Hill Construction | ENR - Battlefield Commanders Review Lessons From Iraq
The main engineer commanders during the invasion were Col. Gregg Martin, head of the Army’s 130th Engineer Brigade and chief engineer for V Corps, and U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Charles (Chuck) Kubic, commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group, and the Naval Marine Construction Battalions (Seabees).
Kubic and Martin both say engineers need to be trained, equipped and supplied to aggressively conduct civil works projects on a large scale as soon as hostilities ebb, and they need to be prepared to continue them for many months, if necessary.
The mission of the engineers during an invasion is to assure the force’s mobility by conjuring an infrastructure to support, sustain and protect the advance as it races across enemy territory, say the commanders.

In mediaeval military engineering a berm or berme was a level space between a parapet or defensive wall and an adjacent steep-walled ditch or moat.
In modern military engineering, berm has come to refer to the wall or parapet itself, when it is constructed of earth or sod.
The term especially refers to a low earthern wall adjacent to a ditch which provided the spoil from which the wall was constructed, typically constructed in a continuous action by a bulldozer or combat engineering vehicle.
