Does 37th Engineer Battalion have Sappers?
US combat engineers call themselves sappers, so yes the 37E has sappers. That answer isn't necessarily true. Not all Combat Engineers are considered "Sappers." There is actually a "Sapper" school, which is sort of the "Ranger" school for Combat Engineers. Yes, there ARE Sappers in the 37th Engineer Battalion but only because they have sent people to Sapper School, which is also located at Ft Leonard Wood, MO, just like the Combat Engineer AIT training. Trust me, I was there. I also was in the 37th Engineer Bn. and I went to Sapper School.

What does siege mining mean?
Siege mining is simply the process of moving as close to the walls of the castle as possible that was under siege and mining-(digging under the walls of the fortification). After a 'mine' was dug under the wall it was supported by wooden beams soaked in pitch,and then the remaining space was filled with brush and anything else that would burn and then set alight. When the support timbers were burned away this would cause the walls to collapse and allow the attackers to enter the castle or fortification. The miners were called sappers because the old term for combat/military mining was called 'sapping the walls'. Sappers are now called combat engineers.
What did the police do in the miners strike?
That depends which miners strike in history.

Why is a land or naval mine called a mine?
First World War. Miners would dig tunnels underneath the enemies trenches and fill them with explosives and then blow them up. Same principal as landmines, only the quantity nowadays is a lot smaller. The miners were part of the Miners and Sappers which later (in the UK) became the Royal Engineers.

I would make a moat around the castle so that sappers cannot mine unless they cross the moat.

When did the royal engineers become 'royal'?
Officers - King's Engineers were first formed on a permanent establishment in Norman times and were employed on fortification works. With the introduction of gunpowder to Europe in the Fourteenth Century and the subsequent development of cannon for siege warfare, the Board of Ordnance raised Ordnance Trains in times of war. Engineer officers served in these trains and often commanded them. On 26 May 1716 the Artillery and Engineers of the Board of Ordnance were constituted as separate establishments. On 25 April 1787 the officer Corps of Engineers was granted the Royal title. Soldiers - Soldiers, or Engineer Other Ranks as they were formerly known, were first enlisted on a permanent basis when a Company of Soldier Artificers was raised in Gibraltar in 1772. In 1787 Companies of the Corps of Royal Military Artificers were raised for service at home and overseas. The Soldier Artificers of Gibraltar were absorbed into the Corps of Royal Military Artificers in 1797. In 1812/13 the title was changed to the Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. Officers for these Soldiers' Corps were provided from the Corps of Royal Engineers. The Board of Ordnance administered both Corps. Amalgamation of Officer and Soldier Corps - Towards the close of the Crimean War in 1855, the Board of Ordnance was absorbed into the Corps of Royal Engineers. On 17 October 1856 the reconstituted Corps came directly under War Office control, thus ending the long-standing anomaly of engineer officers and soldiers belonging to separate Corps, and the peculiarity of the Artillery and Engineers not coming directly under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief.
