20/100: | SAPPER |

Day 20 of illustrating and defining military terms and acronyms! Illustrated here is SAPPER. A sapper, also called pioneer or combat engineer, is a combatant or soldier who performs a variety of military engineering duties such as breaching, demolitions, bridge-building, laying or clearing minefields, field defenses as well as building, road and airfield construction and repair.

I chose to illustrate a combat engineer jumping out of a helicopter as well as one rappelling down a cliff.
