Do you know why combat engineers are also known as Sappers? The name comes from the French word sappe (spade or trench) and became connected with military engineering during the 17th century. Trenches and tunnels were called “saps,” and their diggers came to be known as “sappers." Army Sappers are proficient at building bridges and roads, laying or clearing minefields, conducting demolitions, and constructing or repairing airfields so forces can accomplish their mission.

🪂💥 Night jumps. Full kit. Combat ready! 💥🪂 #Sappers from 49 Fd Sqn (EOD&S) recently took to the skies with the RAF’s A400M ATLAS, completing multiple low-level parachute descents. This included a tactical night drop from 800ft, exiting both sides of the aircraft simultaneously. All jumps were made under combat conditions, carrying full fighting equipment proving they’re ready to deploy by air anywhere in the world at short notice, with 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team 💪 Great work! ✊ 33 E
