{{Main|Indian Army Corps of Engineers}}
The term "sappers", in addition to the connotation of rank of engineer private, is used collectively to informally refer to the [[Indian Army Corps of Engineers|Engineer Corps]] as a whole and also forms part of the informal names of the three combat engineer groups, viz. [[Madras Sappers]], [[Bengal Sappers]] and the [[Bombay Sappers]]. Each of these groups consist of about twenty battalion-sized engineer regiments and additional company-sized minor engineer units. The three sapper groups are descended from the sapper and miner groups of the [[East India Company]] and later the [[British Indian Army]] of the [[British Raj]].
