The Corps of Engineers ((アイルランド語:an Cór Innealtóirí)) is the military engineering branch of the defence forces of Ireland. The Corps is responsible for combat engineering, construction engineering, and fire fighting services within the Defence Forces. The main role of the combat engineers is to provide engineering on the battlefield; the Corps has successfully leveraged its skill and expertise in several of the Irish Army's deployments in United Nations operations. ==History== Following the establishment of the Irish Free State on 6 December 1922 General Routine Orders were issued which laid down the organisation of the first centralised Defence Forces. From an engineering point of view there were three particular problem areas to be overcome:- *The Barracks and Posts throughout the state were in great need of repair following the War of Independence and the Civil War. *There was a general shortage of materials. *Most of the railway system was in disarray with many towns cut off. To meet these requirements three (3) Corps were set up: *The Works Corps - to carry out repairs and reconstruction. *The Salvage Corps - to recover materials from damaged buildings for use elsewhere. *The Railway Protection, Repair and Maintenance Corps - to rebuild the railway system. The Corps of Engineers was established and took over from these three Corps with effect from 1 October 1924. In 1931 Field Engineer Companies and the School of Military Engineering were added to the establishment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Engineer Corps (Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
