Engineer General

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Bundeswehr, the general of the engineer force is the position of the officer responsible for specific issues relating to the training and equipment of the engineer force , usually with the rank of brigadier general .

The position of general of the pioneer troops is connected with the commander of the pioneer school and technical college of the army for structural engineering . Corresponding positions also exist for the other branches of the army . Since this is a service position, a colonel is sometimes a "general of" the respective military branch . The salutation Mr. General or Mr. Colonel is common; the salutation Mr. General of the Pioneer Troop is unusual because it is not a rank.

The name should not be confused with the rank of General of the Pioneers , which existed in the Wehrmacht .
