	Military engineer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A military engineer is primarily responsible for the design and construction of offensive, defensive and logistical structures for warfare.
		In modern times a military engineer that usually operates during battle and under fire is called a combat engineer.
		With the military use of gunpowder this explosive could be placed in tunnels to explode directly under the walls.

	MSN Encarta - Engineering
		Engineering, term applied to the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied to the efficient use of the materials and forces of nature.
		With the increasing use of machinery in the 19th century, mechanical engineering was recognized as a separate branch of engineering, and later mining engineering was similarly recognized.
		Aerospace engineering is closely allied to aeronautics, but is concerned with the flight of vehicles in space, beyond the earth's atmosphere, and includes the study and development of rocket engines, artificial satellites, and spacecraft for the exploration of outer space.

	Combat engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The difference between a military engineer and a combat engineer is that a combat engineer usually operates during battle and under fire, while a military engineer is mostly not directly involved in the fighting.
		This EBG combat engineering vehicle is used by the engineers of the French Army for a variety of missions.
		The most notable engineers of ancient times were the Romans, who constructed huge siege-machines (catapults, battering rams and siege towers) and were responsible for constructing fortified wooden camps and paved roads for their legions.

	The 19th century. (from military engineering) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Military engineering is the oldest of the engineering skills and was the precursor of the profession of civil engineering.
		In its earliest uses the term engineering referred particularly to the construction of engines of war and the execution of works intended to serve military purposes.
		Broadly defined, engineering is the science-based profession by which the physical forces of nature and the properties of matter are made useful to humans in the form of structures, machines, and other products or processes at a reasonable expenditure of time and money.

		In addition to the need for military research as a deterrent, we also need it to be prepared to deal with weapons that may be used against us.
		Compared with a physicist, an engineer is much closer to the results of his or her work.
		By way of excuse for the scientists and engineers involved, we may suppose that, after you've spent the day planning for a war that may kill billions, shifting a data point one-third of an inch no longer seems so serious a crime.

	Engineering Peace: U.S. Institute of Peace Press Catalog Online: Publications: U.S. Institute of Peace
		In practically all the peacekeeping operations of the 1990s, a postconflict reconstruction gap of almost one year separates the end of military peacekeepers' mission of halting mass violence from the start of removing mines as well as rebuilding and repairing the host country's physical infrastructure: roads and bridges, public utilities, and buildings.
		In this timely work, Colonel Garland Williams analyzes the postconflict reconstruction gap in three case studies—Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan—and shows how military engineering brigades accompanying peacekeeping contingents can be put to use immediately after the conflict ends to restore vital infrastructure and social institutions.
		As chief of contingency engineering for Allied Forces Southern Europe from 1996 to 1999, Williams served in Sarajevo as part of NATO's Implementation Force staff, coordinating the reconstruction of vital roads, bridges, ports, and airfields damaged during the Bosnian war.

		As chief of contingency engineering for Allied Forces Southern Europe from 1996 to 1999, Williams served in Sarajevo as part of NATO's Implementation Force staff, coordinating the reconstruction of vital infrastructure damaged during the Bosnian war.
		In his recently published book, Engineering Peace: The Military Role in Postconflict Reconstruction, Williams' analysis of postconflict reconstruction in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan determined that in practically all cases a gap of almost one year separates the end of military peacekeepers' mission from the start of reconstruction.
		His research showed how military engineering brigades accompanying peacekeeping contingents can be put to use immediately after the conflict ends to restore vital infrastructure and social institutions.
