Which capability is a General Engineering function?

• A. Demolition and obstacle removal
• B. Embarkation
• C. Health maintenance
• D. Billeting

Answer: (A)

General Engineering covers tasks that shape the physical environment to support operations, like enabling mobility and clearing obstacles. Demolition and obstacle removal fit this because removing or breaching barriers directly improves movement and access for friendly forces, making routes passable and reducing obstacles the enemy might use. Embarkation is a logistics activity focused on getting people and equipment onto ships or aircraft, not altering terrain or structures. Health maintenance is medical support, and billeting is housing for personnel. So the capability that best matches General Engineering is demolition and obstacle removal, since it directly changes the environment to support mission movement.
