'''Combat Engineering''' is one of many specialisations a soldier entering the StarFleet Marines Corps may train for a career in. Officers of a combat engineering unit are professionally certified civil or mechanical engineers, while NCO's are generally not. | |||

While on deployment aboard a spaceship a combat engineer will train with the rest of his unit and carry out maintenace work on the units weapons, vehicles and equipment. During an emergency they will support the ship as needed. During a boarding situation this may include repelling the hostiles and guarding key areas of the ship. In a non-boarding situation this may include helping the ships engineering department as needed, perhaps helping to solve engineering issues or helping with the repair crews. | While on deployment aboard a spaceship a combat engineer will train with the rest of his unit and carry out maintenace work on the units weapons, vehicles and equipment.

While on planetary deployment a combat engineer performs a variety of construction, demolition and other physical tasks under combat conditions. More generally, the combat engineer's goals involve facilitating movement and support of friendly forces while impeding that of the enemy. They are trained in Geomatics, or surveying and cartography and can map target areas and assist with strategic planning. | While on planetary deployment a combat engineer performs a variety of construction, demolition and other physical tasks under combat conditions.

Combat engineers use practices and techniques of camouflage, reconnaissance, communication methods and enhancement of survival by other troops. Combat engineering also includes construction or demolition of roads, bridges, field fortifications, and obstacles. In these roles, combat engineers use a wide variety of hand and power tools. They are also responsible for construction rigging, the use of explosives, camouflage erection, use of assault vehicles, expedient shuttlepad construction, general construction, route and road reconnaissance, the production and distribution of drinkable water, and erecting communication installations. | Combat engineers use practices and techniques of camouflage, reconnaissance, communication methods and enhancement of survival by other troops.

Improving the ability of one's own force to move around the battlefield. Combat engineers typically support this role through reduction of enemy obstacles which include minefields, ditches, wire obstacles, concrete and metal anti-vehicle barriers and wall and door breaching in urban terrain. Mechanized combat engineer units also have armored vehicles capable of laying short bridges for limited gap-crossing. | Improving the ability of one's own force to move around the battlefield.
