12) In addition to all of the above, the Field Engineering Troops bear all the responsibilities of combat troops.
Although the Field Engineering Troops, to carry out all the above-mentioned specialties, are divided, according to the nature of their employment, into sappers, pontooners, telegraph operators, railway workers?), miners, aeronauts and galvanizers (demolition teams), but all these units are so closely connected with each other, have so much in common that most of all
