Tactics

• Engineers are extremely easy to suppress and should be kept out of heavy combat.
• Use flamer Engineers in conjunction with Riflemen to weed garrisoned MG42's out of buildings. Bait the MG with the Riflemen and flank the building with the engineers to roast the HMG squad out.
• Engineers' demolition charges can be used to blow up obstacles, lay traps, or offensively to destroy enemy base buildings.
• Engineers do a lot of damage Vs Panzer Grenadiers as they have no penalty towards their armor type. However Riflemen have a penalty against Panzer Grenadier armor.

History

The history of United States Army Corps of Engineers can be traced back to June 16, 1775, when the Continental Congress organized an army with a chief engineer and two assistants. Colonel Richard Gridley became General George Washington's first chief engineer; however, it was not until 1779 that Congress created a separate Corps of Engineers. One of its first tasks was to build fortifications near Boston at Bunker Hill. The first Corps was mostly composed of French subjects, who had been hired by General Washington from the service of Louis XVI.

The Corps of Engineers as it is known today came into being on March 16, 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson was authorized to "organize and establish a Corps of Engineers ... that the said Corps ... shall be stationed at West Point in the State of New York and shall constitute a Military Academy." The United States Military Academy was under the direction of the Corps of Engineers until 1866. The Corps's authority over river works in the United States began with its fortification of New Orleans after the War of 1812. A Corps of Topographical Engineers, authorized on July 4, 1838, consisted only of officers and was used for mapping and the design and construction of federal civil works such as lighthouses. It included such officers as George Meade. It was merged with the Corps of Engineers in March, 1863. In the mid-1800s, Corps of Engineers' officers ran Lighthouse Districts in tandem with US Naval officers.

From the beginning, many politicians wanted the Corps to contribute to both military construction and works of a civil nature. Assigned the military construction mission in 1941, the Corps built facilities at home and abroad to support the U.S. Army and Air Force. In the 20th century, the Corps became the lead federal flood control agency and significantly expanded its civil works activities, becoming among other things a major provider of hydroelectric energy and the country’s leading provider of recreation; its role in responding to natural disasters also grew dramatically. In the late 1960s, the Corps became a leading environmental preservation and restoration agency.

In World War II, every division contained an Engineer battalion. Transported in trucks or M3 half-tracks, the Engineer Combat platoons were organized into operating squads armed with rifles, one machine-gun squad for defense, and sometimes also included a bulldozer or M4 Sherman with a bulldozer blade. These platoons were assigned out to assist other units in the field, and only fought cohesively as a full company during the Battle of the Bulge when the situation became desperate.
