  Recruiters are some of the most important workers in the Army, since they talk to those potentially interested in joining, teaching them about the Army and how becoming a soldier might be a good career option. Recruiters conduct face to face prospecting at events such as career fairs and school presentations. The ability to build a referral basis is critical in the recruiters success. Combat Engineers provide construction and engineering support. Engineers locate and neutralize traps to ensure mobility of combat teams as well as design and construct roadways, buildings and perimeters under limited time constraints. Combat Engineers also train mentor and supervise Soldiers of lesser rank.
