U.S. Marines Corps Combat Engineers with Marine Rotational Force Darwin, detonate an oval charge during a breach at Plum, New Caledonia, May 16, 2018. As a Combat Engineer, performing a breach is an objective that can be tasked if necessary. Their capabilities are both constructive, e.g., building bunkers, providing utilities and destructive, e.g., demolition and breaching support capabilities to the battlefield. This unique combination of capabilities provides knowledge, experience and skills to commanders at the operational and tactical levels with which they can, according to Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 3-34, reduce friction, facilitate maneuver and improve the morale of friendly forces or create friction and disorder for the enemy.
