==== Obstacle breaching ====
For obstacle breaching, including minefields, the combat engineers use a variety of vehicles, explosive devices, and [[plastic explosive]]s including:{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}
* Minefield breaching devices
** Dozer blade
** Mine rollers
** [[Bangalore torpedo]]
** [[Antipersonnel Obstacle Breaching System]]
** [[Mine-clearing line charge]] (MICLIC)
* [[Bomb disposal]] robots
* Explosives, mines, and bombs
* Field-deployable [[bridge]]s, for example, French [[EFA (mobile bridge)|EFA]]<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.defense.gouv.fr/sites/terre/decouverte/materiels/arme_et_materiel_/genie/efa/ |title= French EFA| website= defense.gouv.fr| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20041213121710/http://www.defense.gouv.fr/sites/terre/decouverte/materiels/arme_et_materiel_/genie/efa/ |archive-date=13 December 2004 }}</ref> and [[Bailey bridge]].
