Structure
The Combat Engineers formation consists of two headquarters, a training institute, five active battalions, and ten reservist battalions. Each brigade of the army has an organic company of field engineers, deployed at the discretion of the brigade commander, while each infantry battalion has an organic platoon of pioneers to support battalion movement.
Unlike the usual infantry sections of seven men, a field engineer section consists of eight men. There are two specialists in a section, the section commander and the section 2IC.
