Author Topic: Bridging ender Veteran Member Member # 189 Member Rated: posted 06 August 2021 16:49                     Is not bridge building an integral part of being a Sapper? Is mobility not one of our primary functions, and bridging a major part of that? Then why the heck are they taking bridging off the 3's and 5's? Our new sappers are not going to be trained in bridging at all. (in case you doubt this I just got back from CFSME) This is ridiculous. I know at my unit we bridge all the time, and it's the same at many other reserve units. Can anyone tell me the rational for this? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Or if only from the res, I'm afraid you have your answer.

The ACROW Bridge and NSB are comming out of both courses, and were removed from the officer courses this year. MGB and MR/MFB will continue to be taught in these courses. The reason for this is that NSB and ACROW are both rear ech bridges and not a need to know thing for all sappers. These bridges will still be taught on a seperate course that only some engineers will take.

I would understand if they were just getting rid of ACROW, since it's such an annoyingly complicated bridge.

The MGB is staying for the reserves and regular force. Chimo!
