==Description==
 
==Description==
As aggressive users of minelaying technology, the [[Capellan Confederation]] have developed specialized [[Combat Engineer|combat engineer]]s dedicated to laying mines.  Nearly every [[Home Guard (Capellan Confederation)|Home Guard]] unit maintains at least a company, if not an entire battalion, of Minelayer Infantry.  Trained in spreading minefields in front of an advancing enemy force, their efforts have sometimes been the deciding factor in a battle.  Some companies, most notably the 177th Field Explosive company of the [[Dynasty Guard]], have been transitioned to front-line duty.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 198</ref>
