Weaponology - "Bailey Bridge of World War II"

Throughout history bridges have been the most fought over structures on the battlefield. The enemy will fight tooth and nail to disable them, turn them to ruins or blow them to pieces. In World War II the Germans, Italians and Japanese all employed explosive motorboats as a technique to destroy Allied bridges. When the resulting gap needs to be crossed it's the engineers who step in. Building bridges is the engineer's greatest skill. In World War II they will be one of the busiest elite units. Europe's battlefields are laced with small fast flowing rivers, many of the crossings have been destroyed. Allied engineers now need a light portable bridge that can take the strain of heavy armor.
