===Canada=== {{Main|Royal Canadian Engineers}} In the Canadian Forces, sappers exist both in the regular force and reserve force. The rank of sapper is used instead of private trained to signify completion of the basic Engineer training course. Canadian sappers have been deployed in many major conflicts in recent history including World War I, World War II, the [[Korean War]], and the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|War in Afghanistan]]. The roles of a sapper entail: Bridging with the ACROW or [[Medium Girder Bridge]] as well as non-standard bridge construction; obstacle and defensive construction; enemy obstacle reduction and clearance, mine warfare; explosive ordnance disposal; water supply using the reverse-osmosis water purification unit; building and maintaining roadways and airfields; combat diving; tactical breaching; and camp construction. Ultimately, the objective of the sappers is to facilitate the living, moving, and to fight for friendly troops on the battlefield and denying the same to enemy forces. The motto of the Canadian Military Engineers is ''Ubique'' ({{langx|la|everywhere}}) a motto shared with the [[Royal Canadian Artillery]].
