French to English Other Military / Defense
si XXX n’est pas allé au combat, elle est toutefois intervenue sur le terrain de façon extrêmement proche des XXX (Forces armées ).
Elle a, de façon continue, participé à l’élaboration des plans de bataille, dispensé des conseils à l’Etat-major et aux commandements de secteurs, proposant des restructurations et des nouvelles tactiques.
Elle a enseigné les techniques de piégeage et de minage, suggérant pour cela les emplacements les plus appropriés.

I believe this refers to tactics for planting bombs and setting traps but would appreciate the correct English translation if possible

booby-trapping and minelaying
