(1) The MGS platoon, task organized with an infantry squad, a sapper squad, and an MEV, are tasked to standby with the first sergeant for CASEVAC.(2) Six of those commandos - the green beret, the sniper, the diver, the sapper , the driver, and the spy - are back from the original game, but three are new.(3) This results in at least one silly scenario that requires catching an enemy tank crew's attention while sneaking a lone sapper in with a shaped charge, Private Ryan style.(4) Without tackling these issues, we will not see the necessary synergy between several seemingly disparate Army cultures: the sapper , the topographic engineer, and the MP.(5) Common features to both types of regiment would include an organic sapper / pioneer platoon at the battalion/squadron level for mobility, countermobility, and survivability tasks.(6) During the Peninsular War in 1812 a permanent company of sappers and miners was established in the British army for the first time, and miners brought the siege of San Sebastian to a successful conclusion in 1813.(7) A day before, a lorry carrying gasoline overturned and burst into flames, near a bridge where army sappers and technicians had already wired the leads to the dynamite.(8) When daylight comes, 20 teams of sappers patrol the city's streets as they do every morning, clearing mines laid by rebel fighters the night before.(9) The talks followed a deadly Israeli night raid into the southern Gaza strip town of Khan Yunis, when tanks and helicopters blazed a way for army sappers to enter the bullet-scarred refugee camp and dynamite two tall buildings.(10) U.S. sappers use a high-tech metal detector to hunt down hidden explosives.(11) The bridge was destroyed five days later by enemy sappers , but too late.(12) In September, South African sappers began work demining hundreds of kilometers of piste road from the Kenyan border to the rebel-held town of Rumbek.(13) A handful - their numbers are not known - served as bomb disposal sappers , working to disarm the weapons of destruction, not to inflict them on the innocent.(14) Once again the combined arm concept of the engineer group was confirmed when a section of sappers and a section of pioneers combined to clear the obstruction with chainsaws and heavy plant.(15) This is extremely significant when you consider the reduction of the number of sappers in combat engineer companies.(16) The BCT, like the divisional brigade, is built around its maneuver battalions and direct support by sappers and artillery.
