COMBAT ENGINEERS: IT ALL LOOKS SO FAMILIAR TO ME


Combat Engineer 21B Essayons Ranger Special Forces Sapper. This all looks so familiar. The uniforms are different, but it is the same basic training this blogger, a former Army Combat Engineeer ("Sapper") went through during the Korean War. Our motto was: "Let Us Try."
Sappers specialize in clearing mine fields and booby traps as well as planting explosives to blow the hell out of the enemy. We would build bridges, airfields and roads clearing a path for the infantry. In short, we are the backbone of a combat mission. Gen. Douglas MacArthur once said he could not have done it without the untiring efforts of the Combat Engineers.
