Wartime Tactics: SHTF Engineering

Your Engineer is vital to the support of the team. They literally make all the difference when it comes to designing your perimeter defenses, water, sanitation, and even your vehicle systems. A real combat engineer can build a water purification system and then turn around and weld up an armor system for your truck. They can fix the farmer’s tractor and build traps to catch the thieves in. Engineers are some of the most versatile and intelligent people I’ve ever encountered.
