	Combat engineering
		Usually, a combat engineer is also trained as an infantry rifleman and has general combat-engineering training as well as special expertise.
		A general combat engineer is often called a "Sapper" (the word itself is derived from the French and British armies).
		The Corps of Royal Engineers (RE), commonly known as the Sappers, is one of the corps of the British Army.

		A combat engineer, in many armies also called pioneer or sapper, is a military specialist in using the tools and techniques of engineering under combat conditions, who may perform any of a variety of tasks.
		A general combat engineer is often called a Pioneer or "Sapper" (the word itself is derived from the French and British armies, and refers to the origin of combat engineering).

	M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle (CEV)
		The M728 is a Combat Engineer Vehicle used by engineering units for construction of defensive positions and demolition of enemy fortifications.
		The vehicle is used for breaching, obstacle removal, transportation of demolition teams, and pioneering operation.
		DESCRIPTION: The M728 CEV is a full-tracked armored vehicle which consists of a basic M60A1 tank with a hydraulically operated debris blade, a 165mm turret mounted demolition gun, a retractable boom and a winch.

		Engine. The Grizzly uses the AGT 1500 vehicular gas turbine provided by AlliedSignal Engines. This engine is rated at 1,119 kilowatts (1,500 horsepower), giving a power-to-weight ratio of 17.51 kilowatts per tonne (21.29 horsepower per ton).
		While the role of engineering vehicles may not be as publicized as those of the major combat vehicles, their functions and services are every bit as decisive.
		A further aspect of the U.S. Army’s engineering vehicle efforts is the demand to increase mobility and deployability. Existing vehicles have been criticized on grounds that they require too great a commitment of logistics assets for their transport to a desired theater.

	MINE-BLASTER: The APOBS Breaching Weapon
		In recent test scenarios of APOBS, its usefulness becomes clear: Two Marine Combat Engineers up against anti-personnel mine obstacles can put together one APOBS unit from the two 60-pound backpacks, they carry, advance to the 35 meter standoff position, set, aim and fire the rocket.
		A different, and potentially safer solution, would be to re-introduce a dedicated Combat Engineer Vehicle, such as the M728 CEV, which was retired from service in the late 1990s.
		Heavily armored and armed with a large caliber, low-velocity demolition gun, a 728-like vehicle could approach obstacles with relative impunity (where the most common threat would be the RPG light anti-tank weapon) and reduce the obstacle without exposing the crew.

		The RRR vehicle was to have carried stereo video cameras (including infrared and color), a laser scanner, a VME electronics interface for automotive functions, a high-performance processor, and inertial navigation/ global positioning system receiver.
		However, these vehicles have the potential to fulfill a variety of mission requirements beyond those already mentioned, ones considered too dangerous or monotonous for human soldiers, such as firefighting and battlefield obstacle breaching.
		These vehicle forecasts are to provide an idea of how many teleoperated vehicles may be deployed by the individual services.

		Engineer equipment is something that doesn't get the coverage it probably deserves in the modeling world.
		Anyone who has ever worked around combat arms units knows that without engineer support most units would have a hard time of getting around – either crossing water obstacles, negotiating narrow roads (if there are any at all) or clearing the debris of war that often clogs up the way ahead.
		While few tanks were dedicated as engineer assets, many units used them as normal route clearing vehicles.

		The engine compartment at the rear of the hull is separated from the fighting compartment by a fireproof bulkhead, and is equipped with a fire extinguishing system.
		The Combat Engineer Vehicle was developed under the designation T118E1 and was standardised in 1963 as the M728.
		The M728 is armed with a short-barrelled 165 mm M135 demolition gun which fires the M123A1 HEP (or HESH) round.

		The general idea is a vehicle specifically designed to support the infantry in urban assaults, by laying down fire, acting as a mobile bunker and supply vehicle, and cover for dismounted infantry.
		I think current tanks are safe in urban combat as long as the infantary is covering the roofs, the flanks and the rear.
		Further to this, as the vehicles no longer require such high speed and acceleration it may be worthwhile to replace their power plants with diesel to cut down the logistical tail.

		Modern tanks have composite or layered armor that does not transmit the shock wave very well, and spall liners made of materials such as Kevlar to catch any flaking that does occur.
		HESH rounds are still carried today but this is more for use against fortifications than other armoured fighting vehicles.
		A 165mm HESH round is used by the United States Army for the main gun of the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle, which is a sort of tank/bulldozer hybrid; the HESH round is intended mainly for use against concrete bunkers and similar structures.

	RDECOM Magazine \| in the field \| M908 Cartridge Makes Combat Debut
		Picatinny Arsenal, N.J.ùThe Armament Research, Development and Engineering CenterÆs 120mm M908 ammunition cartridge was recently deployed to the Middle East to support Operation Iraqi Freedom.
		The M908 is fired from the M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams tanks and is used to destroy concrete obstacles, permitting the rapid advance of infantry and armor.
		The M908 was developed in response to an urgent requirement from Korea in 1996, when the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle and its 165mm M123 demolition round was removed from the ArmyÆs inventory, an action that threatened to leave combat engineers without a means to destroy or "rubble" large obstacles that would otherwise impede friendly troops.

		When the M551 vehicles were finally placed in the battlefield position that they were originally designed to dominate, the long armed Shillelagh missile system killed Iraqi armor very well indeed.
		Although light enough to be airdrop-capable, the aluminum armor was thin enough to be pierced by heavy machine-gun rounds, and the vehicle was particularly vulnerable to mines.
		They today develope other massive feats of engineering in the mining industry and after u take alook at this beast, Manufactured by Krupp, and in its native Germany, - link - u will begin to wonder what they could have made, and what it is still possible to make in terms of land warmachines.

		Key among these are the technologies required to produce the future combat system, which will be a replacement for the 70-ton M1 Abrams tank that will have the same lethality and survivability but will weigh only 20 tons.
		The first two initial brigade combat teams (IBCT's) of the interim force are being created at Fort Lewis, Washington, by reorganizing the 3d Brigade, 2d Infantry Division, and then the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Light Infantry).
		In the meantime, the IBCT is working with armored vehicles borrowed from several other countries as surrogates for the interim armored vehicle.

		Because engineers assigned to an armored unit could use any M-60A2 they came across for their purposes(In an armored division, that's a lot of tanks to choose from).
		This may come as a shock to you, but the engineers didn't have enough demolition guns to support an entire corps operations all at once.
		Sadly, of the combat arms(and yes, engineers are), the Engineering corps get the few scraps left when the infantry, armor, and artillery branches have picked the budget tree dry.

		Fortunately, I have been a combat engineer in a previous unit and have had hands-on demolitions training.

		Even if M1s can be delivered in time, their turbine engine exhaust prevents infantry from following behind to use the tank as moving cover in a city fight or to tow trailers with more main gun ammunition and/or supplies for infantry.
		In combat in built-up areas however, finding a covered firing position permitting low obliquity firing is unlikely unless the streets and gaps between buildings are wide.
		Notice when the M728 CEV was retired a smart combat engineer suggested we put 165mm demolition guns in M1 tanks---we have hundreds sitting unused---and the capability was NOT retained.
