==Military engineering by country== Military engineers are key in all armed forces of the world, and invariably found either closely integrated into the force structure, or even into the combat units of the national troops. === Brazil === [[File:Instituto militar de engenharia.jpg|thumb|270px|Instituto Militar de Engenharia, Rio de Janeiro - RJ]] [[Brazilian Army]]<ref>{{Cite web|title=Quadro de Engenheiros Militares - Armas, Quadros e Serviços|url=http://www.eb.mil.br/armas-quadros-e-servicos/-/asset_publisher/W4kQlILo3SEa/content/quadro-de-engenheiros-militares?doAsUserId=ELaKQUVM4wU=&inheritRedirect=false|access-date=2021-03-16|website=Exército Brasileiro|language=pt-BR|archive-date=13 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513150023/https://www.eb.mil.br/armas-quadros-e-servicos/-/asset_publisher/W4kQlILo3SEa/content/quadro-de-engenheiros-militares?doAsUserId=ELaKQUVM4wU=&inheritRedirect=false|url-status=dead}}</ref> engineers can be part of the Quadro de Engenheiros Militares, with its members trained or professionalized by the traditional [[Instituto Militar de Engenharia]] (IME) ''(Military Institute of Engineering)'', or the Arma de Engenharia, with its members trained by the [[Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras]] (AMAN) ''(Agulhas Negras Military Academy).''

The RSME also provides training for the [[Royal Navy]], [[Royal Air Force]], other Arms and Services of the [[British Army]], Other Government Departments, and Foreign and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] countries as required. These skills provide vital components in the Army's operational capability, and [[Royal Engineers]] are currently deployed in [[Afghanistan]], [[Iraq]], [[Cyprus]], [[Bosnia]], [[Kosovo]], [[Kenya]], [[Brunei]], [[Falklands]], [[Belize]], Germany and [[Northern Ireland]]. [[Royal Engineers]] also take part in exercises in [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Kuwait]], Italy, [[Egypt]], [[Jordan]], Canada, [[Poland]] and the United States. === United States === {{main|Military engineering of the United States}} The prevalence of military engineering in the United States dates back to the American Revolutionary War when engineers would carry out tasks in the U.S. Army. During the war, they would map terrain to and build fortifications to protect troops from opposing forces. The first military engineering organization in the United States was the Army Corps of Engineers. Engineers were responsible for protecting military troops whether using fortifications or designing new technology and weaponry throughout the United States' history of warfare. The Army originally claimed engineers exclusively, but as the U.S. military branches expanded to the sea and sky, the need for military engineering sects in all branches increased. As each branch of the United States military expanded, technology adapted to fit their respective needs.<ref>{{cite web|last=Chambers|first=John|title=Engineering, Military|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/military_engineering.aspx#1|publisher=Encyclopedia.com|access-date=14 February 2013|year=2000}}</ref> *[[United States Army Corps of Engineers]] *[[Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency]], [[Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers]] (RED HORSE), and [[Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force]] (Prime BEEF) *The [[United States Navy]] [[Seabee|Construction Battalion Corps]] (better known as the Seabees) and [[Civil Engineer Corps]] *[[List of United States Marine Corps battalions#Combat Engineer battalions|United States Marine Corps Combat Engineer Battalions]] === Other nations === * {{Flagicon|Armenia}} Department of the Engineer Troops of the [[Armed Forces of Armenia]] * {{Flagicon|Australia}} [[Royal Australian Engineers]] and the [[No. 65 Squadron RAAF|Royal Australian Air Force Airfield Engineers]] * {{Flagicon|Bangladesh}} Corps of Engineers and Military Engineer Services (MES), [[Bangladesh Army]] * {{Flagicon|Canada}} [[Canadian Military Engineers]] * {{Flagicon|Denmark}} The Danish military engineering corps is almost entirely organized into one regiment, simply named "[[Ingeniørregimentet]]" ("The Engineering Regiment"). * {{Flagicon|Germany}} {{ill|Pioniertruppe (Bundeswehr)|de}} * {{Flagicon|France}} [[Engineering Arm]], including the [[Paris Fire Brigade]] * {{Flagicon|India}} [[Indian Army Corps of Engineers]] * {{Flagicon|Indonesia}} [[Indonesian Army Corps of Engineers]] * {{Flagicon|Ireland}} [[Irish Army Engineer Corps]] * {{Flagicon|Israel}} [[Combat Engineering Corps]] of the [[Israel Defense Forces]] * {{Flagicon|Namibia}}[[Engineer Regiment (Namibia)]] * {{Flagicon|New Zealand}} [[Corps of Royal New Zealand Engineers]] * {{Flagicon|Norway}} {{lang|no|Ingeniørbataljonen}} ("The Engineer Battalion") * {{Flagicon|Malaysia}} [[Rejimen Askar Jurutera DiRaja]] ("Royal Engineer Regiment") * {{Flagicon|Pakistan}} [[Pakistan Army Corps of Engineers]] and the [[Military Engineering Service]] * {{Flagicon|Romania}} [[10th Engineer Brigade (Romania)|10th Engineer Brigade]] * {{Flagicon|South Africa}} [[South African Army Engineer Formation]] * {{Flagicon|Sri Lanka}} [[Sri Lanka Engineers]] and the [[Engineer Services Regiment]] * {{Flagicon|Vietnam}} The [[Le Quy Don Technical University]] is the main training establishment for the Vietnamese Army's Corps of Engineers
