From Wikipedia: "Military engineering is loosely defined as the art and practice of designing and building military works and maintaining lines of military transport and communications. This discipline of engineering is regarded as the oldest form of engineering and is also the precursor of the civil engineering discipline. While both of these disciplines of engineering are responsible for building the same types of projects their environments differ. Military engineers construct and maintain facilities that serve military servicemen on war-fronts. Military engineers are also responsible for logistics behind military tactics. Modern military engineering requires more than civil engineering techniques. In the 21st Century military engineering also includes other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering techniques. According to NATO "Military Engineering is that engineer activity undertaken regardless of component or service to shape the physical operating environment. ' Military Engineering incorporates support to manoeuvre and to the force as a whole including military engineering functions such as engineer support to Force Protection Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Environmental Protection Engineer Intelligence and Military Search. Military Engineering does not encompass the activities undertaken by those 'engineers' who maintain repair and operate vehicles vessels aircraft weapon systems and equipment." Majesty's hardcover
