Civil Engineering

**Military Unit: Civil Engineering – Short History** Civil Engineering units have played a vital role in military history, dating back to ancient times when armies built fortifications, roads, and bridges to support campaigns. In the modern era, military civil engineers became formally organized, especially during World War I and World War II, constructing airfields, bases, and critical infrastructure under combat conditions. These units are responsible for rapid construction, repair, and demolition tasks that enable troop movements and mission success. Today, military civil engineering units continue to provide essential support both in combat operations and humanitarian missions worldwide.
