Combat Engineering Hardware
Any questions, comments, or problems, please email me.
This section is dedicated to combat engineering hardware. This is the equipment that is needed to clear or make the roads, secure a base, cross a river, and many other tasks.

The All Terrain Crane (ATEC) is an all hydraulic crane capable of
traveling over primary, secondary and off road surfaces at the tactical support
level. Technical characteristics include: diesel engine, power shift

Bridges
Crossing water has always been a problem that needs to be
addressed on any battlefield. Here is a page dedicated to the ways
multiple countries address this problem.
Combat Support
Boat (CSB)
These boats are the bulldozers of the water. They can turn on a
dime and align a bridge section like nobody's business.
D7H Bulldozer
The Caterpillar D7H is another commercially available unit
that has been adopted into the military. Weighing in at approximately
50,000 lbs, they are easily transported and ideal for road building/pioneering.

Small
Emplacement Excavator (SEE)
(Description from GlobalSecurity.Org)
The Small Emplacement Excavator (SEE) is a lightweight, all-wheel-drive,
diesel-engine-driven, high-mobility vehicle with a backhoe, a bucket loader, and
other attachments such as a handheld hydraulic rock drill, a chain saw, and a
pavement breaker. The SEE weighs over 16,000 pounds, is air transportable, can
travel at speeds of more than 40 miles per hour on improved roads, and has
limited off-road mobility. The SEE is used to rapidly dig combat emplacements
such as crew-served weapon positions, command posts, and individual fighting
positions. The high mobility of the SEE provides an earthmoving machine capable
of rapid movement between battle positions.
