Combat Engineer Kits
Combat engineers blow things up that need to go away — bridges, buildings, obstacles, and more. The US Army Combat Engineer, the 12B, specializes in making things go away with explosives, and these kits carry the demolition hand tools, crimpers, and accessories that work demands. Built by a defense manufacturer that machines its own tools and holds ATF FEL Type 20 explosive manufacturing licensing — assembled in Franklin, TN under ISO 9001:2015 custom kitting.
Combat Engineer Kits: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combat engineer kit?
A demolition-focused toolset for engineers who emplace and fire explosive charges: crimpers, cutters, demolition hand tools, and accessories organized for the work of reducing obstacles, structures, and fortifications. The mission is mobility and denial — making things go away so the force can move.
Who is the 12B?
12B is the US Army military occupational specialty for Combat Engineer — the soldiers who breach obstacles, emplace and clear demolitions, and shape terrain with explosives. These kits are configured for that skill set, and for the Marine, Navy, and allied engineer equivalents doing the same work.
How does a combat engineer kit differ from an EOD kit?
Engineers put charges on targets that need to be destroyed; EOD technicians take apart or defeat devices that shouldn't exist. The toolsets overlap — crimpers, cutters, demolition accessories — but the mission runs in opposite directions. For render-safe loadouts see EOD Tool Kits.
Can combat engineer kits be customized for our unit?
Yes — configured in-house under ISO 9001:2015 to your platoon's SOPs and load plans, or built tool-by-tool with real-time pricing in Build Your Own.
How do units purchase combat engineer kits?
