The main thing that kept coming back was the need for a variety of engineering capabilities resulting in the ground force now calling for the MoD to invest in such materials and personel.
The new engineering vehicles, pieces of equipment and materials will include wheeled cranes, wheeled excavators, trenches, minelayers, mine clearers, recovery vehicles, vehicle launched bridges and combat engineering vehicles.
The total investment into engineering elements for the armed forces is said to be around 9 billion DTE and will be divided in several faces. The army is looking to create a dedicated engineering corps capable of providing engineering support all accross the world.
At its current state the only engineering squads are integral parts of seperate units, badly organized and structured and often becoming delayed and working innefficiently. By creating a dedicated and independent engineering corps that is able to, in discussion with high command, distribute engineering units where they are needed effectively and by expanding the capabilities of the engineers the state hopes to improve the efficiency and the strength of the engineering units and encourage units to move faster as well in the process.
The TMM-6 wheeled vehicle launched bridge system that deltaria already owns, more units are said to be produced in the expansion and restructuring plan
