A specialized unit that undertakes military engineering support tasks. There are engineers in the armies of all countries. The Army Corps of Engineers is generally composed of engineering, pontoon bridge, construction, engineering maintenance, camouflage, field water supply engineering and other professional units and detachments. Engineers in other services are generally only composed of engineering construction troops and engineering maintenance troops. [Edit this paragraph] Introduction of arms. Engineers are specialized arms that undertake military engineering support tasks. It is the technical backbone of the army to implement engineering support. Army engineers are usually divided into reserve engineers and team engineers. Reserve engineers are subordinate to the headquarters and major military regions, and engineering corps are subordinate to group army and engineering corps. Army engineers generally include engineers, pontoons, construction, engineering maintenance, camouflage, field water supply engineering and other professional units and detachments. The main tasks are to carry out engineering reconnaissance, build important fortifications, build, set up and remove obstacles, carry out sabotage actions, disguise important targets, build roads, bridges, ferry yards and build water supply stations. In contract operations, it is responsible for ensuring the covert security, command stability and rapid maneuver of its own troops, blocking enemy maneuvers and directly destroying the enemy's effective forces. Engineers from other services are mainly responsible for the construction, maintenance and emergency repair of military projects such as military ports, airports and missile bases. [Edit this paragraph] Main tasks The main tasks of the Army Corps of Engineers are to carry out engineering reconnaissance, build fortifications, build roads, bridges, open ferry yards, build, set up and remove obstacles, disguise important targets, and build water supply stations. Engineers from other services are mainly responsible for the construction, maintenance and emergency repair of military projects such as military ports, airports and missile bases. It is mainly equipped with bridge equipment for crossing the river to overcome obstacles in rivers, lakes and ditches, including river crossing equipment, bridge equipment and auxiliary equipment for crossing the river. These equipments include: light portal bridge, heavy pontoon bridge, special pontoon bridge, light mechanized bridge, heavy mechanized bridge, heavy truss bridge, tank bridge, etc. Under field conditions, the main technical equipment of construction machinery accompanying troops to perform engineering support and national defense construction tasks is usually divided into positions, roads, buildings, water supply and packaging machinery. These equipments include: trencher, digger, bulldozer, loader, excavator, grader, drilling machine, etc. Mine blasting equipment is technical equipment used for mine laying, mine clearance and destruction. These equipments include: rocket minesweeper, mechanical minesweeper, timed minesweeper, tripwire minesweeper, crawler (wheeled) automatic minesweeper, rocket minesweeper, rocket blaster, tunnel minesweeper, etc. Camouflage equipment refers to equipment and materials used for camouflage. Camouflage equipment mainly includes camouflage net, camouflage clothing, camouflage paint, camouflage smoke screen, corner reflector, camouflage work car, fake target and so on. Military engineering construction in the historical period of arms and services and engineering support tasks in ancient wars were completed by the combat troops themselves and migrant workers. /kloc-in the 0 th and 7 th centuries, the French army first established a regular engineering force. After that, Russia, Britain and the United States successively set up engineering troops. The earliest regular engineering corps in China was the engineering barracks of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. Around the First World War, with the development of military technology and establishment, the tasks and composition of engineering corps have been expanding and complicated. In addition to engineers and pontoon professional troops, it also includes professional troops such as communications, railways, armored tanks and chemistry. Later, communications, railways, armored tanks, chemistry and other arms gradually developed into independent arms. Engineers, as specialized arms to carry out engineering support tasks, are constantly adding new specialized troops and detachments. During the Second World War, the engineering corps further developed, which not only improved the ability to guarantee the military operations, but also enhanced the ability to cooperate with other arms to destroy the enemy. /kloc-in the 0 th and 7 th centuries, the French army first established a regular engineering force. After that, Russia, Britain and the United States successively set up engineering troops. As early as the Warring States Period in China, officials in the army organized the construction of bases and roads. The yuan army established the pontoon sailors' army, and set up pontoons and ferry boats. In the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there are earth camps and water camps. Tuying specializes in "privately digging tunnels, burying mines and bombing city walls". Before and after its formal establishment, the Water Camp not only undertook the task of water transportation and combat, but also undertook the task of erecting pontoon bridges many times. The earliest regular engineering corps in China was the engineering barracks of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. In the new army compiled and trained in the late Qing Dynasty, engineers became a unit, with engineering barracks and engineering teams. During the Republic of China, the Kuomintang army established an independent engineering corps and detachment under the army (division) and opened an engineering school. Engineers of the China People's Liberation Army were born in the army and were once called "pioneers". After World War II, most countries paid more attention to the development of engineers. The proportion of engineers in the army has increased, the professional division of labor has become more and more detailed, the engineering equipment has been updated quickly, the degree of mechanization has been continuously improved, and the support ability has become stronger and stronger. At present, some professional troops and detachments have been able to complete a large number of engineering operations on a wide front in a short time, and have developed various high-speed, efficient and multi-purpose engineering and technical equipment, new mines that can be deployed quickly and flexibly, and blasting equipment that can quickly open the passage in large and deep obstacles. In the future war, engineering soldiers will play a greater role in ensuring the army's high-speed maneuver, implementing anti-maneuver, enhancing the army's viability, improving defensive stability and offensive assault. In order to meet the requirements of modern war for military engineering support, engineers in most countries in the world are constantly adjusting their organizations and improving their technical equipment. By the early 1990s, the proportion of army engineers was increasing, and the professional division of labor was becoming more and more detailed. Russian engineers are organized according to specialization, including reconnaissance, engineering, road, position engineering, bridges, pontoons, landing crossing rivers, engineering obstacles, mine clearance, camouflage, water supply and so on 10. The proportion of professional troops used to ensure motorized roads, bridges and pontoons has increased. The professional organization of the US Army Corps of Engineers is flexible. The Army Corps of Engineers consists of three corps of engineers, 1 Atomic Blasting Company, 1 Other Support Corps of Engineers and Brigade Company. Each engineering group consists of 3 combat engineering battalions, 1 heavy engineering barracks, 1 combat support company and 2 bridge companies. The engineering battalion of this division consists of four engineering companies and 1 bridge company. Engineers of various countries' armies are generally equipped with all kinds of high-speed, high-efficiency and multi-purpose engineering technical equipment, and the degree of mechanization is constantly improving, and their own mobility and ability to quickly complete engineering operations are getting stronger and stronger. Field engineers are equipped with powerful engineering combat equipment, including mine warfare equipment, new mines that can be deployed quickly and flexibly, and blasting equipment that can quickly open the way in large and deep obstacles. The combat capability of killing and destroying the enemy's effective forces and technical weapons is getting stronger and stronger. Engineers in some countries are also equipped with light construction machinery with convenient transportation and flexible use, which can quickly build airports, roads, missile launching sites, protective fortifications and other facilities after landing behind enemy lines, greatly improving the engineering support capability of airborne operations. [Edit this paragraph] Engineers of China People's Liberation Army (formerly known as engineers), China engineers, 1927 was born during the Nanchang Uprising. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the corps of engineers entered a new development period. 1950 65438+February, the leading organs of arms and services were established. Subsequently, the establishment of the army engineering forces was gradually unified, and colleges and research and design institutions at all levels were established. 1955, as an arms, was renamed as an engineering corps, which became a professional unit and detachment of engineering corps to perform field engineering support tasks. China Corps of Engineers consists of various specialized departments and units, such as engineers (roads, bridges, fortification, mine blasting, etc.). ), pontoon bridge, construction, engineering maintenance, camouflage, water supply engineering, etc. According to the affiliation, it is divided into independent engineers and team engineers. Engineers directly under and above the military region are independent engineers, who are usually used in a centralized manner to carry out strategic campaign engineering support tasks. The engineers in the group army, division, brigade and regiment of the synthetic army are all team engineers, which are usually used to ensure the campaigns and combat operations of their own troops. China's basic task: to ensure that combat troops improve their battlefield survivability; Report to combat troops to improve battlefield mobility; Guarantee the combat troops to improve the anti-maneuvering ability of the battlefield; To undertake engineering investigation and provide technical guidance for engineering operations carried out by other services and arms and people. The establishment of China Corps of Engineers is divided into: Corps of Engineers directly under the headquarters. There are engineering brigades, regiments and teams. , mainly responsible for strategic engineering support tasks and important strategic objectives of engineering camouflage and engineering maintenance tasks. Engineers directly under the military region. There are engineering brigades, regiments and teams. Mainly responsible for campaign engineering support tasks. This team belongs to the engineering team. The group army consists of engineers, the infantry division consists of engineering barracks, and the infantry regiment consists of engineering companies. China engineers have made positive contributions in the battle to defend the socialist motherland, in the construction of highways such as Sichuan-Tibet and Qinghai-Tibet, in the construction of large-scale national defense projects, in the socialist construction and in the struggle for emergency rescue and disaster relief. During the period of 1979, the gunfire of Shekou Mountain started the first shot of the construction of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and 20,000 engineers of China People's Liberation Army joined the ranks of the construction of special economic zones one after another, becoming a new force in the construction of special economic zones. Before the adaptation of1983 in September 15, there were 2 divisions and 7 regiments with 20,000 people in Shenzhen. Over the past 20 years, this heroic group has been pioneering and working hard in Shenzhen, building brilliant buildings for the SAR and propping up the blue sky of the SAR city. According to the statistics of Shenzhen Construction Holding Company, the total assets of construction enterprises reorganized by the army in that year have increased from 65.438+0.2 billion yuan 20 years ago to 35 billion yuan, an increase of 2,965.438+0.6 times. By the end of 2002, among the buildings with 18 floors in the special zone, 1/4 was built by this system.
