Description

The Combat Engineering Subdivision (CE), would have been a collaboration effort between the Department of Applied Forces, and the Engineering & Logistics Department, the subdivision is tasked with ensuring the safety of all boat tours, and allowing personnel to enter otherwise hazardous areas with cover, allowing engineers to handle with their duties and defend as necessary, with the weaponry being guided by the Department of Applied Forces, and the Obligations being managed by Engineering & Logistics, the subdivision would have existed.
