A Military engineer is primarily responsible for the design and construction of offensive and defensive structures for warfare. Other duties include the layout, placement, maintenance and dismantling of defensive minefields and the clearing of enemy minefields and the construction and destruction of bridges. In some cases an engineer may be required to destroy something that that same enginer designed and constructed.
In some countries, the modern military may comprise engineering units in say, weapon design or procurement, or of non-military civil engineering (e.g. flood control and river navigation works) which are not covered by this article.
In modern times, a military engineer that usually operating during battle and under fire, is called combat engineer. For more modern aspects of military engineering and tools of the combat engineering corps, see: Combat engineering.
