Combat engineer

"Broadly speaking, sappers are equally at home building things as they are blowing them up."

Combat engineers, also referred to as sappers are specialized UNSC servicemen that perform construction and demolition tasks during combat.

Role
Combat engineers are personnel who are tasked with construction of allied fortifications and demolition of enemy emplacements.
