Engineer Corps Day marked
The Serbian Armed Forces today celebrated Engineer Corps Day, in commemoration of November 6, 1865 – the date when this branch was formally established after separating pontoneers and pioneers from the artillery.
To mark the occasion, military ceremonies were held across Serbian Armed Forces engineer and pontoneer battalions, where these units’ key achievements over the past year were highlighted and awards and recognitions were presented to distinguished individuals.The review of the past year’s achievements highlighted the engineer corps personnel’s excellent training results, as well as their competence, professionalism, and dedication demonstrated while executing tasks under all three missions of the Serbian Armed Forces – providing support to manoeuvre units, participating in peacekeeping operations, and assisting citizens through natural disaster relief, road and riverbed maintenance, and the construction of river crossings.
The Engineer Corps is a branch of the Serbian Armed Forces tasked with building and overcoming barriers, repairing roads and constructing fortifications. It is a modern branch combining combat and technical capabilities, equipped and trained to carry out missions during peacetime, states of emergency, and war.
