 What is an engineer? We are the problem solvers. An Army engineer to me is kind of like the jack-of-all-trades. Army engineers lead the way for the rest of the Army. Actually part of it about being an engineer is hands down. Getting a blow-up. What is an engineer? An engineer is a person who applies mobility, accountable ability, survivability, skill sets on a battlefield for someone else. Army engineers use math and science to solve military problems. We're able to shape terrain so we can use wire or other obstacles to slow the enemy down when they are approaching defensive positions which is a combat multiplier and enables our maneuver forces to win. Well, the big story is when we did the invasion of Iraq when I was with the 173rd Airborne, how they used this equipment operators to actually build fortifications in Bashir to protect ourselves from any incoming forces. Because we're a combat multiplier, if you need us to go out in front of the enemy tree to clear a route, we're going to do it. If we need us to breach an obstacle, we're going to do it. If we need us to complete a combat trail with heavy equipment or fill hascos for survivability, we're going to do it. We can build bridges to help maneuver forces across rivers and we do that in combat rapidly. We're able to replace them. We can also provide mobility to our combat forces as well. So when the enemy puts in a minefield, for example, the engineers are the ones who breach that minefield in conjunction with maneuver forces in order to restore mobility to the battlefield and allow maneuver forces to continue the attack. One of the big parts is the mobility factor. So a lot of the enemy obstacles, the quickest way to get rid of that obstacle is to just blow it up and provide a path to move through. What we really are, we're teaching our soldiers how to think and many times on the battlefield, we can't predict what the issues are that they're going to run into but our problem solvers, our combat engineers, they solve that problem and get through it.
