Thank you very much for your suggestions and explanations, guys. They will be very useful for me to polish up the details about the campaign. I hadn’t visited the site posted by Simonmark6, so, here I have a bonus goal.
It seemed reasonable for me that such type of unit could be created if needed, and now, with your suggestion, I can give a little and plausible explanation in the initial background about the main origin of the sappers. The type of job described for the Assault Engineers is what I want for the playing characters. It’s the type of work I have seen carried out by the Parachute Engineers Company (Unidad de Zapadores Paracaidistas, UZAPAC 6) while in the army. They are a single company tied to the Headquarters Battalion, though a few years before I enlisted, they formed a "Mixed Engineers Battalion" with the Signals Company.
Again, thanks.
