The Corps of Engineers is one of the oldest arms of the Indian Army. The origin of the Corps dates back to 1780 when the two regular pioneer companies of the Madras Sappers were raised. Subsequently, the Group of Madras, Bengal and Bombay Sappers were formed and later merged on 18 November 1932 to form the Corps of Engineers in its present form.

The Corps of Engineers consists of three major constituents namely Combat Engineers, MES and Border Roads. The Corps also provides officers to the Military Survey and Defence Research & Development Organisation.
In war, Combat Engineers provide mobility to own forces by constructing bridges, tracks and helipads; on the other hand the Corps denies the same to the enemy by creating obstacles such as laying mine-fields and demolition of bridges.
True to the motto SARVATRA, the Corps of Engineers has excelled in multifarious activities in war and peace. In peace time the Sappers have always been in the forefront in rendering aid to the civil authorities during natural calamities such as floods and earthquakes. Engineers' units have also been engaged in the counter insurgency operations in J&K; and the North East.
Combat Engineers
-------------------------
The main role of combat engineers is to provide mobility to own forces by constructing bridges, tracks and helipads; on the other hand the Corps denies the same to the enemy by creating obstacles such as laying mine-fields and demolition of bridges. The need for accurate survey arose before combat engineering. Vast holdings had to be carefully delineated and mapped out, to plan the correct form of commercial extraction. By 1780, serious attention began to be given to the art of sapping and mining.
Forts abound in the subcontinent, and to the forts the main defences withdrew for a protracted stand. On being invested, the siege (heavy) artillery including trench mortars or bombards went at it. The real work, not for the faint-hearted, went to the sappers who had to do the sapping or mining. Sapping is the technique of accurately digging trenches, usually covered or zigzag, to cover ones approach to the point of assault.
Military Engineer Service (MES)
-------------------------------------------
The military engineers are mainly responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of all works, buildings, airfields, dock installations, etc. They are also engaged with additional services such as military roads, water and electricity supply, drainage, refrigeration, furniture, required by the Army, Navy and Air Force in India.
Military Engineer Services (MES) is the largest construction agency in the country. As the premier engineering arm of the Ministry of Defence, the MES primarily provides for the three arms of Defence forces, the Army, Air Force and Navy and also to other Defence related departments and organizations. It was founded in 1851 to provide rear-line-engineering support to the erstwhile British Indian Army.
Border Roads Organization
----------------------------------
The Border Roads Organisation is another major arm of the Defense services which is playing a vital role by constructing national highways, airfields, buildings and bridges. The Border Roads, by constructing a large number of roads in once inaccessible areas of the Himalayas, Rajasthan and North Eastern States have contributed significantly to their economic development. The personnel of the department are also enhancing the peace keeping process running worldwide. The BRO is now busy in constructing roads and bridges in foreign countries viz. in Afghanistan.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, also sometimes shortened to CoE is a U.S. federal agency under the Department of Defense and a major Army command made up of some 37,000 civilian and military personnel, making it one of the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agencies. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works throughout the world. The Corps of Engineers provides outdoor recreation opportunities to the public, and provides 24% of U.S. hydropower capacity.
The corps' mission is to "Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation's security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters."
Their most visible missions include:
- Planning, designing, building, and operating locks and dams. Other civil engineering projects include flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.
- Design and construction of flood protection systems through various federal mandates.
- Design and construction management of military facilities for the Army, Air Force, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve and other Defense and Federal agencies.
- Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration.
The corps' vision is "Engineering solutions for our Nation's toughest challenges."...
Early history
The history of United States Army Corps of Engineers can be traced back to 16 June 1775, when the Continental Congress organized an army with a chief engineer and two assistants. Colonel Richard Gridley became General George Washington's first chief engineer; however, it was not until 1779 that Congress created a separate Corps of Engineers. One of its first tasks was to build fortifications near Boston at Bunker Hill. The first corps was mostly composed of French subjects who had been hired by General Washington from the service of Louis XVI.
The Corps of Engineers, as it is known today, came into existence on 16 March 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson was authorized to "organize and establish a Corps of Engineers ... that the said corps ... shall be stationed at West Point in the State of New York and shall constitute a military academy." Until 1866, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy was always an engineer officer. During the first half of the 19th century, West Point was the major and, for a while, the only engineering school in the country...
During World War II, the Army Corps of Engineers in the European Theater of Operations was responsible for building countless bridges,including the first and longest floating tactical bridge across the Rhine at Remagen, and building or maintaining roads vital to the Allied advance across Europe into the heart of Germany. In the Pacific theater, the Pioneer troops were formed, a hand-selected unit of volunteer Army combat engineers trained in jungle warfare, knife fighting, and unarmed jujitsu (hand-to-hand combat) techniques. Working in camouflage, the Pioneers cleared jungle and prepared routes of advance and established bridgeheads for the infantry as well as demolishing enemy installations.
Five commanding generals (chiefs of staff after the 1903 reorganization) of the United States Army held engineer commissions early in their careers. All transferred to other branches before rising to the top. They were Alexander Macomb, George B. McClellan, Henry W. Halleck, Douglas MacArthur, and Maxwell D. Taylor...

Documentary: Engineers, Sappers or artisans have in one form or the other remained part of an army ever since the birth of a fighting force. Evidence of the work of the earliest military engineers can be found in many parts of the world; Hill Forts of Europe in Iron Age, Fortifications protecting City of Zimbabwe of lost civilization and not the least, the Great Wall of China built in 3 BC.
Engineers as part of any force are first fighting soldiers and then as specialist trained, are required to solve problems of movement and survivability of own forces and ensure measures to impede the enemy. Yet as "Men of Crisis", they are fore bearers in natural calamities or in critical nation building role, world over. Word "Sapper" was derived from word 'Sap' meaning "deep and narrow trench to undermine or weaken the enemy fortifications. So, Sappers were entrusted to dig saps and mines the fortifications and thus named as "Sappers and Miners".
History: On Independence, the Corps of Engineers of the Pakistan Army was born, out of the Corps of Royal Indian Engineers, whose progenitors were the Corps of Pioneers, which were established by the East India Company toward the end of the 17th century A.D., on Presidency basis.
The Corps of Sappers and Miners was, thus, formed out of the selected Pioneers. The title of Bengal Sappers and Miners was adopted by the Bengal Pioneers in 1819, the Bombay Pioneers were converted into Bombay Sappers & Miners in 1820, and the Corps of Madras Sappers & Miners came into being from the famous Madras Pioneers in May 1931. The permanent location of the three Corps' of the Sappers & Miners was decided as under:-
The Madras Sappers — Bangalore in 1862
The Bengal Sappers — Roorkee in 1853 (UP)
The Bombay Sappers — Kirkee in 1860 (Poona)
This history of the Corps of Engineers is as old as the end of the 18th century. The corps of sappers and miners in India, not only, carried out the military engineering tasks but also performed the role of railways, submarine mining and signals. There were nearly twenty campaigns and wars including both the world wars (i.e. 1914 -18 and 1939‑45), in which our predecessors took part in the 200 years of their life and earned battle honors as listed in the end. The Bengal sappers and miners were conferred the title of "King George Vth Own" in 1910.
The Royal Corps of Pakistan Engineers was allotted 10 Field Companies, 4 Field Park Companies, a few specialist units and one Army Engineers Group after independence. The bulk of the engineer units and optees, which came to Pakistan, belonged to the Bengal Group and Bombay Group of Royal Indian Engineers. When Pakistan became a republic in March 1956, the Corps changed its designation from Royal Pakistan Engineers to Corps of Engineers. Since Independence, Corps of Engineers have participated with zeal in all battles, important operations, natural calamities and nation building tasks. The progressive past is a narrative of Sappers performance as well as gradual development from a small organization to its present multifarious and multifaceted sizeable establishment which includes the reorganizational, restructrual changes in conjunction with par excellence in technical education and proven skills. All were designed to meet the emerging and vibrant requirements primarily of the Army and Nation in general, so that it can accept any challenges in peace and war commensuration with its role. Corps of Engineers rightly so have motto "Rooh -- e - Rawan", the moving spirit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_River
The Ohio River, which streams westward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois, is the largest tributary, by volume, of the Mississippi River in the United States. At the confluence, the Ohio is even bigger than the Mississippi (Ohio at Cairo: 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m3/s); Mississippi at Thebes: 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m3/s)) and, thus, is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system, including the Allegheny River further upstream.
The 981-mile (1,579 km) river flows through or along the border of six states, and its drainage basin includes parts of 14 states. Through its largest tributary, the Tennessee River, the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people.
It is named in Iroquoian or Seneca: Ohi:yó, lit. "Good River" or Shawnee: Pelewathiipi and Spelewathiipi. The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans, as numerous civilizations formed along its valley. For thousands of years, Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route. Its waters connected communities. In the five centuries before European conquest, the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley, such as Angel Mounds near Evansville, Indiana, as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley, but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast, migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 1600s.
In 1669, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River, becoming the first Europeans to see it. After European-American settlement, the river served as a border between present-day Kentucky and Indian Territories. It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781–82, Thomas Jefferson stated: "The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted."
During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason–Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slave territory, and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North, many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement.
The Ohio River is a climatic transition area, as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas. It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates. In winter, it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely further south toward Cincinnati and Louisville. At Paducah, Kentucky, in the south, near the Ohio’s confluence with the Mississippi, it is ice-free year-round. Paducah was founded there because it is the northernmost ice-free reach of the Ohio...

History: On Independence, the Corps of Engineers of the Pakistan Army was born, out of the Corps of Royal Indian Engineers, whose progenitors were the Corps of Pioneers, which were established by the East India Company toward the end of the 17th century A.D., on Presidency basis. The Corps of Sappers and Miners was, thus, formed out of the selected Pioneers. The title of Bengal Sappers and Miners was adopted by the Bengal Pioneers in 1819, the Bombay Pioneers were converted into Bombay Sappers & Miners in 1820, and the Corps of Madras Sappers & Miners came into being from the famous Madras Pioneers in May 1931. The permanent location of the three Corps' of the Sappers & Miners was decided as under:- The Madras Sappers — Bangalore in 1862 The Bengal Sappers — Roorkee in 1853 (UP) The Bombay Sappers — Kirkee in 1860 (Poona) This history of the Corps of Engineers is as old as the end of the 18th century. The corps of sappers and miners in India, not only, carried out the military engineering tasks but also performed the role of railways, submarine mining and signals. There were nearly twenty campaigns and wars including both the world wars (i.e. 1914 -18 and 1939‑45), in which our predecessors took part in the 200 years of their life and earned battle honors as listed in the end. The Bengal sappers and miners were conferred the title of "King George Vth Own" in 1910. The Royal Corps of Pakistan Engineers was allotted 10 Field Companies, 4 Field Park Companies, a few specialist units and one Army Engineers Group after independence. The bulk of the engineer units and optees, which came to Pakistan, belonged to the Bengal Group and Bombay Group of Royal Indian Engineers. When Pakistan became a republic in March 1956, the Corps changed its designation from Royal Pakistan Engineers to Corps of Engineers. Since Independence, Corps of Engineers have participated with zeal in all battles, important operations, natural calamities and nation building tasks. The progressive past is a narrative of Sappers performance as well as gradual development from a small organization to its present multifarious and multifaceted sizeable establishment which includes the reorganizational, restructrual changes in conjunction with par excellence in technical education and proven skills. All were designed to meet the emerging and vibrant requirements primarily of the Army and Nation in general, so that it can accept any challenges in peace and war commensuration with its role. Corps of Engineers rightly so have motto "Rooh -- e - Rawan", the moving spirit. -

At the confluence, the Ohio is even bigger than the Mississippi (Ohio at Cairo: 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m3/s); Mississippi at Thebes: 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m3/s)) and, thus, is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system, including the Allegheny River further upstream. The 981-mile (1,579 km) river flows through or along the border of six states, and its drainage basin includes parts of 14 states. Through its largest tributary, the Tennessee River, the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people. It is named in Iroquoian or Seneca: Ohi:yó, lit. "Good River" or Shawnee: Pelewathiipi and Spelewathiipi. The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans, as numerous civilizations formed along its valley. For thousands of years, Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route. Its waters connected communities. In the five centuries before European conquest, the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley, such as Angel Mounds near Evansville, Indiana, as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley, but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast, migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 1600s. In 1669, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River, becoming the first Europeans to see it. After European-American settlement, the river served as a border between present-day Kentucky and Indian Territories. It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781–82, Thomas Jefferson stated: "The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted." During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason–Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slave territory, and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North, many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement. The Ohio River is a climatic transition area, as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas. It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates. In winter, it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely further south toward Cincinnati and Louisville. At Paducah, Kentucky, in the south, near the Ohio’s confluence with the Mississippi, it is ice-free year-round. Paducah was founded there because it is the northernmost ice-free reach of the Ohio... -

The Corps of Engineers is one of the oldest arms of the Indian Army. The origin of the Corps dates back to 1780 when the two regular pioneer companies of the Madras Sappers were raised. Subsequently, the Group of Madras, Bengal and Bombay Sappers were formed and later merged on 18 November 1932 to form the Corps of Engineers in its present form.
http://www.youtube.com/Indiadefence
The Corps of Engineers consists of three major constituents namely Combat Engineers, MES and Border Roads. The Corps also provides officers to the Military Survey and Defence Research & Development Organisation.
In war, Combat Engineers provide mobility to own forces by constructing bridges, tracks and helipads; on the other hand the Corps denies the same to the enemy by creating obstacles such as laying mine-fields and demolition of bridges.
True to the motto SARVATRA, the Corps of Engineers has excelled in multifarious activities in war and peace. In peace time the Sappers have always been in the forefront in rendering aid to the civil authorities during natural calamities such as floods and earthquakes. Engineers' units have also been engaged in the counter insurgency operations in J&K; and the North East.
Combat Engineers
-------------------------
The main role of combat engineers is to provide mobility to own forces by constructing bridges, tracks and helipads; on the other hand the Corps denies the same to the enemy by creating obstacles such as laying mine-fields and demolition of bridges. The need for accurate survey arose before combat engineering. Vast holdings had to be carefully delineated and mapped out, to plan the correct form of commercial extraction. By 1780, serious attention began to be given to the art of sapping and mining.
Forts abound in the subcontinent, and to the forts the main defences withdrew for a protracted stand. On being invested, the siege (heavy) artillery including trench mortars or bombards went at it. The real work, not for the faint-hearted, went to the sappers who had to do the sapping or mining. Sapping is the technique of accurately digging trenches, usually covered or zigzag, to cover ones approach to the point of assault.
Military Engineer Service (MES)
-------------------------------------------
The military engineers are mainly responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of all works, buildings, airfields, dock installations, etc. They are also engaged with additional services such as military roads, water and electricity supply, drainage, refrigeration, furniture, required by the Army, Navy and Air Force in India.
Military Engineer Services (MES) is the largest construction agency in the country. As the premier engineering arm of the Ministry of Defence, the MES primarily provides for the three arms of Defence forces, the Army, Air Force and Navy and also to other Defence related departments and organizations. It was founded in 1851 to provide rear-line-engineering support to the erstwhile British Indian Army.
Border Roads Organization
----------------------------------
The Border Roads Organisation is another major arm of the Defense services which is playing a vital role by constructing national highways, airfields, buildings and bridges. The Border Roads, by constructing a large number of roads in once inaccessible areas of the Himalayas, Rajasthan and North Eastern States have contributed significantly to their economic development. The personnel of the department are also enhancing the peace keeping process running worldwide. The BRO is now busy in constructing roads and bridges in foreign countries viz. in Afghanistan.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, also sometimes shortened to CoE is a U.S. federal agency under the Department of Defense and a major Army command made up of some 37,000 civilian and military personnel, making it one of the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agencies. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works throughout the world. The Corps of Engineers provides outdoor recreation opportunities to the public, and provides 24% of U.S. hydropower capacity.
The corps' mission is to "Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation's security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters."
Their most visible missions include:
- Planning, designing, building, and operating locks and dams. Other civil engineering projects include flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.
- Design and construction of flood protection systems through various federal mandates.
- Design and construction management of military facilities for the Army, Air Force, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve and other Defense and Federal agencies.
- Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration.
The corps' vision is "Engineering solutions for our Nation's toughest challenges."...
Early history
The history of United States Army Corps of Engineers can be traced back to 16 June 1775, when the Continental Congress organized an army with a chief engineer and two assistants. Colonel Richard Gridley became General George Washington's first chief engineer; however, it was not until 1779 that Congress created a separate Corps of Engineers. One of its first tasks was to build fortifications near Boston at Bunker Hill. The first corps was mostly composed of French subjects who had been hired by General Washington from the service of Louis XVI.
The Corps of Engineers, as it is known today, came into existence on 16 March 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson was authorized to "organize and establish a Corps of Engineers ... that the said corps ... shall be stationed at West Point in the State of New York and shall constitute a military academy." Until 1866, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy was always an engineer officer. During the first half of the 19th century, West Point was the major and, for a while, the only engineering school in the country...
During World War II, the Army Corps of Engineers in the European Theater of Operations was responsible for building countless bridges,including the first and longest floating tactical bridge across the Rhine at Remagen, and building or maintaining roads vital to the Allied advance across Europe into the heart of Germany. In the Pacific theater, the Pioneer troops were formed, a hand-selected unit of volunteer Army combat engineers trained in jungle warfare, knife fighting, and unarmed jujitsu (hand-to-hand combat) techniques. Working in camouflage, the Pioneers cleared jungle and prepared routes of advance and established bridgeheads for the infantry as well as demolishing enemy installations.
Five commanding generals (chiefs of staff after the 1903 reorganization) of the United States Army held engineer commissions early in their careers. All transferred to other branches before rising to the top. They were Alexander Macomb, George B. McClellan, Henry W. Halleck, Douglas MacArthur, and Maxwell D. Taylor...

Documentary: Engineers, Sappers or artisans have in one form or the other remained part of an army ever since the birth of a fighting force. Evidence of the work of the earliest military engineers can be found in many parts of the world; Hill Forts of Europe in Iron Age, Fortifications protecting City of Zimbabwe of lost civilization and not the least, the Great Wall of China built in 3 BC.
Engineers as part of any force are first fighting soldiers and then as specialist trained, are required to solve problems of movement and survivability of own forces and ensure measures to impede the enemy. Yet as "Men of Crisis", they are fore bearers in natural calamities or in critical nation building role, world over. Word "Sapper" was derived from word 'Sap' meaning "deep and narrow trench to undermine or weaken the enemy fortifications. So, Sappers were entrusted to dig saps and mines the fortifications and thus named as "Sappers and Miners".
History: On Independence, the Corps of Engineers of the Pakistan Army was born, out of the Corps of Royal Indian Engineers, whose progenitors were the Corps of Pioneers, which were established by the East India Company toward the end of the 17th century A.D., on Presidency basis.
The Corps of Sappers and Miners was, thus, formed out of the selected Pioneers. The title of Bengal Sappers and Miners was adopted by the Bengal Pioneers in 1819, the Bombay Pioneers were converted into Bombay Sappers & Miners in 1820, and the Corps of Madras Sappers & Miners came into being from the famous Madras Pioneers in May 1931. The permanent location of the three Corps' of the Sappers & Miners was decided as under:-
The Madras Sappers — Bangalore in 1862
The Bengal Sappers — Roorkee in 1853 (UP)
The Bombay Sappers — Kirkee in 1860 (Poona)
This history of the Corps of Engineers is as old as the end of the 18th century. The corps of sappers and miners in India, not only, carried out the military engineering tasks but also performed the role of railways, submarine mining and signals. There were nearly twenty campaigns and wars including both the world wars (i.e. 1914 -18 and 1939‑45), in which our predecessors took part in the 200 years of their life and earned battle honors as listed in the end. The Bengal sappers and miners were conferred the title of "King George Vth Own" in 1910.
The Royal Corps of Pakistan Engineers was allotted 10 Field Companies, 4 Field Park Companies, a few specialist units and one Army Engineers Group after independence. The bulk of the engineer units and optees, which came to Pakistan, belonged to the Bengal Group and Bombay Group of Royal Indian Engineers. When Pakistan became a republic in March 1956, the Corps changed its designation from Royal Pakistan Engineers to Corps of Engineers. Since Independence, Corps of Engineers have participated with zeal in all battles, important operations, natural calamities and nation building tasks. The progressive past is a narrative of Sappers performance as well as gradual development from a small organization to its present multifarious and multifaceted sizeable establishment which includes the reorganizational, restructrual changes in conjunction with par excellence in technical education and proven skills. All were designed to meet the emerging and vibrant requirements primarily of the Army and Nation in general, so that it can accept any challenges in peace and war commensuration with its role. Corps of Engineers rightly so have motto "Rooh -- e - Rawan", the moving spirit.
wn.com/Corps Of Engineers Pakistan Army Part 1
Documentary: Engineers, Sappers or artisans have in one form or the other remained part of an army ever since the birth of a fighting force. Evidence of the work of the earliest military engineers can be found in many parts of the world; Hill Forts of Europe in Iron Age, Fortifications protecting City of Zimbabwe of lost civilization and not the least, the Great Wall of China built in 3 BC.
Engineers as part of any force are first fighting soldiers and then as specialist trained, are required to solve problems of movement and survivability of own forces and ensure measures to impede the enemy. Yet as "Men of Crisis", they are fore bearers in natural calamities or in critical nation building role, world over. Word "Sapper" was derived from word 'Sap' meaning "deep and narrow trench to undermine or weaken the enemy fortifications. So, Sappers were entrusted to dig saps and mines the fortifications and thus named as "Sappers and Miners".
History: On Independence, the Corps of Engineers of the Pakistan Army was born, out of the Corps of Royal Indian Engineers, whose progenitors were the Corps of Pioneers, which were established by the East India Company toward the end of the 17th century A.D., on Presidency basis.
The Corps of Sappers and Miners was, thus, formed out of the selected Pioneers. The title of Bengal Sappers and Miners was adopted by the Bengal Pioneers in 1819, the Bombay Pioneers were converted into Bombay Sappers & Miners in 1820, and the Corps of Madras Sappers & Miners came into being from the famous Madras Pioneers in May 1931. The permanent location of the three Corps' of the Sappers & Miners was decided as under:-
The Madras Sappers — Bangalore in 1862
The Bengal Sappers — Roorkee in 1853 (UP)
The Bombay Sappers — Kirkee in 1860 (Poona)

Good film on the development of the Ohio River with locks and dams by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Public domain film from the Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_River
The Ohio River, which streams westward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois, is the largest tributary, by volume, of the Mississippi River in the United States. At the confluence, the Ohio is even bigger than the Mississippi (Ohio at Cairo: 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m3/s); Mississippi at Thebes: 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m3/s)) and, thus, is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system, including the Allegheny River further upstream.
The 981-mile (1,579 km) river flows through or along the border of six states, and its drainage basin includes parts of 14 states. Through its largest tributary, the Tennessee River, the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people.
It is named in Iroquoian or Seneca: Ohi:yó, lit. "Good River" or Shawnee: Pelewathiipi and Spelewathiipi. The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans, as numerous civilizations formed along its valley. For thousands of years, Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route. Its waters connected communities. In the five centuries before European conquest, the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley, such as Angel Mounds near Evansville, Indiana, as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley, but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast, migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 1600s.
In 1669, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River, becoming the first Europeans to see it. After European-American settlement, the river served as a border between present-day Kentucky and Indian Territories. It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781–82, Thomas Jefferson stated: "The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted."
During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason–Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slave territory, and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North, many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement.
The Ohio River is a climatic transition area, as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas. It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates. In winter, it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely further south toward Cincinnati and Louisville. At Paducah, Kentucky, in the south, near the Ohio’s confluence with the Mississippi, it is ice-free year-round. Paducah was founded there because it is the northernmost ice-free reach of the Ohio...

Duluth Canal Park Breaker Wall Extension - US Army Corps of Engineers
June 29, 2016: The US Army Corps of Engineers brings out a load of boulders on a crane barge to extend the breaker from the west port entrance pier (Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota) in order to protect the tourist-popular shoreline. This process lasted roughly 4 hours. The crane barge is labeled H.J. Schwartz and is working in tandem with a tug. After the barge was emptied, the "rock claw" was placed on deck and disconnected from the boom, the boom was then lowered, stabilizers retracted from the lake floor, and the machinery was out of the harbor in 15 minutes. The Duluth shoreline / downtown area is visible in the background. -

June 29, 2016: The US Army Corps of Engineers brings out a load of boulders on a crane barge to extend the breaker from the west port entrance pier (Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota) in order to protect the tourist-popular shoreline. This process lasted roughly 4 hours. The crane barge is labeled H.J. Schwartz and is working in tandem with a tug. After the barge was emptied, the "rock claw" was placed on deck and disconnected from the boom, the boom was then lowered, stabilizers retracted from the lake floor, and the machinery was out of the harbor in 15 minutes. The Duluth shoreline / downtown area is visible in the background.

A Visit to the US Army Corps of Engineers "Bay Model"
The US Army Corps of Engineers built a spectacular research tool in the 1950s, as a means to study the hydrodynamics of the entire San Francisco Bay area and the waterways that feed it from the mountains and the central valley of California. It measures hundreds of feet across, and is carefully and accurately modeled at 1:1000 horizontal scale and 1:100 vertical scale. It has both fresh and salt water, and also includes the tides. It can simulate various upset conditions as well. The Corps of Engineers originally had the model highly instrumented to study water flows and levels. Eventually, enough data was recorded to allow the entire thing to be accurately modeled in computer software, so the Bay Model was retired. These days, it remains operational but is no longer instrumented. It is... -

The Corps of Engineers originally had the model highly instrumented to study water flows and levels. Eventually, enough data was recorded to allow the entire thing to be accurately modeled in computer software, so the Bay Model was retired. These days, it remains operational but is no longer instrumented. It is used for educational purposes and as a tourist attraction.
I have driving directions and the street address listed within the video.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, also sometimes shortened to CoE) is a federal agency and a major Army command made up of some 38,000 civilian and military personnel, making it the world's largest public engineering, design and construction management agency. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works support to the nation and the Department of Defense throughout the world. The Corps of Engineers provides outdoor recreation opportunities to the public, and provides 24% of U.S. hydropower capacity.
The Corps' mission is to provide vital public engineering services in peace and war to strengthen the nation's security, energize the economy, and reduce risks from disasters.
Their most visible missions include:
- Planning, designing, building, and operating locks and dams. Other civil engineering projects include flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.
- Design and construction of flood protection systems through various federal mandates (see Public Laws below).
- Design and construction management of military facilities for the Army, Air Force, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve and other Defense and Federal agencies.
- Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration.
The Corps' vision is having a great engineering force of highly disciplined people working with partners through disciplined thought and action to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions to the nation's engineering challenges...
The history of United States Army Corps of Engineers can be traced back to 16 June 1775, when the Continental Congress organized an army with a chief engineer and two assistants. Colonel Richard Gridley became General George Washington's first chief engineer; however, it was not until 1779 that Congress created a separate Corps of Engineers. One of its first tasks was to build fortifications near Boston at Bunker Hill. The first Corps was mostly composed of French subjects, who had been hired by General Washington from the service of Louis XVI.
The Corps of Engineers as it is known today came into being on 16 March 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson was authorized to "organize and establish a Corps of Engineers ... that the said Corps ... shall be stationed at West Point in the State of New York and shall constitute a Military Academy." Until 1866, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy was always an engineer officer. During the first half of the 19th century, West Point was the major and, for a while, the only engineering school in the country. The Corps's authority over river works in the United States began with its fortification of New Orleans after the War of 1812...
The Army Corps of Engineers played an instrumental role in the American Civil War. Many of the men who would serve in the top leadership in this institution were West Point graduates, who rose to military fame and power during the Civil War. Some of these men were Union Generals George McClellan, Henry Halleck, George Meade, and Confederate generals Robert E. Lee, Joseph Johnston, and P.G.T. Beauregard...
In 1944, specially-trained army combat engineers were assigned to blow up underwater obstacles and clear defended ports during the invasion of Normandy. During World War II, the Army Corps of Engineers in the European Theater of Operations was responsible for building countless bridges and building or maintaining roads vital to the Allied advance across Europe into the heart of Germany. In the Pacific theater, the Pioneer troops were formed, a hand-selected unit of volunteer Army combat engineers trained in jungle warfare, knife fighting, and unarmed jujitsu (hand-to-hand combat) techniques. Working in camouflage, the Pioneers cleared jungle and prepared routes of advance and established bridgeheads for the infantry as well as demolishing enemy installations...
