Speaking of engineers, I can only remember seeing one or two but I remember watching them use some kind of smoke generator vehicle.
It was like a 113 or something blowing all kinds of smoke for an obstacle. Pretty wild.
That is an M1059 which is on an M113 chassis. In the reserves, my Engineer Battalion was attached to a Chemical Brigade that had a smoke generation platoon somewhere in the structure but I never actually saw the unit and I don't know where it was based. There is also a smoke generation platform on the M60 (or was) it could be equipped with a blade, mine flail, or proofing rollers. The heavy mech/corp mech units use the M1059 and/or the M60-based unit and corp motorized units use smoke generators on Humvees. I saw the M1059s the year we went to NTC and the amount of smoke they can produce is impressive.
