The Sapper Creed

I am a Sapper, the cutting edge of my country’s sword.

I will always endeavor to complete my Sapper mission,

regardless of available assets.

My flexibility and special training shall provide my task force

with the tools to overcome insurmountable odds.

I realize that I will be called upon for my expertise in all

aspects of mobility, counter mobility, and survivability.

The failure to effectively accomplish my mission could cost the

lives of others.

I will set the example by keeping myself physically fit and

mentally tough.

I will strive to sharpen my Sapper skills and the skills of those I

support.

Sappers Lead The Way!

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
