Pioneers

As a member of the ammunition and pioneer platoon, my job will be just what the name implies. I must not only keep the men supplied

with ammunition, but also repair and sometimes build the roads and bridges necessary to transport the men and their equipment. I will learn how to build obstacles to stop the enemy and how to destroy those

obstacles which they have built to stop us. I will learn how to use explosives in order that I may clear a path through difficult areas, and to improvise means of crossing streams or deep gullies. In fact, I ama pioneer, for I will clear the path, build the roads and bridges, that others may follow.
