据了解，该维和工兵分队由中部战区陆军第82集团军某旅为主抽组而成，包括工兵、警卫、修理、勤务、医疗等多兵种，自去年12月份部署至任务区以来，先后完成了瓦乌UN城外围道路维修、重要补给线道路施工勘察、科瓦乔克UN城涵管铺设等任务。
It is learned that the engineering contingent is mainly comprised of a brigade of the 82nd Group Army under the PLA Central Theater Command, which includes sappers, guards, repair, logistics, and medical units. Since assigned to the mission area last December, the contingent has completed a series of tasks from repairing roads outside the UN compound in Wau, surveying for road construction on the key supply line, to culvert pipe laying at the UN Camp in Kuajok.
目前，3支工程保障中队已全部部署到百公里外的临时宿营地展开道路施工任务，主要补给线道路施工进度已完成了全年的三分之一。
To date, all the three engineering support teams have been deployed to the provisional barracks 100km away for the construction of the main supply line.
