Historical sketch of the Field Engineering Troops,

Vvedenge.
If we follow the historical course of the development of our military forces, we can come to the conclusion that not a single branch of the weapon has undergone such radical reforms and such frequent transformations as the Field Engineering Troops.
If we take a closer look at the composition of the Field Engineering Troops and their assignments, we will be convinced that none of the arms of our army includes such diverse specialties and branches of military art as the Field Engineering Troops.
1) An excerpt from the poem “Fisherman’s Mines,” written by a well-known person at that time rural poet, peasant of Rybatskaya Sloboda Fyodor Slpushkin, who witnessed the sapper work and labors of Emperor Nicholas | when he was appointed inspector general for engineering.
Currently, the special service of the Field Engineering Troops consists of the following:
1) Field service: a) selection and strengthening of more or less significant field and temporary positions; 6) construction, correction and damage to dirt and artificial roads; c) blasting on a dry track.
2) Service in bivouacs: providing troops with camp, bivouac and various types of outbuildings.

4) Service on the rivers: a) construction, maintenance, repair and destruction of various types of bridges and transportation from various materials; b) arrangement and maintenance of pontoon bridges; c) crossing of landing troops; d) rowing, swimming and crossing troops by swimming, using available materials; e) demolition work under water and f) river minefields.
Almost all of the above services, with the exception of pontoon bridges, were the specialty of the Field Engineering Troops from the very first days of their existence. From the surviving documents, we find for the first time a detailed statement of the responsibilities of the Engineering Troops in the Military Charter of Peter the 1st, 1716, March 30 1).
The pontoon service, established by Peter the Great, on February 8, 1712, was the responsibility of the artillery! and 2). It was transferred to the Higher Field Engineering Troops only on April 20, 1822 3).

To perform this type of service, battalions were formed from the ranks of the Field Engineering Troops, on November 12, 1876 5) and included in the sapper brigades, on December 3, 1876 6), and in 1904 they were allocated to a special branch of the military - railway 7).
