A sapper is a soldier who performs a variety of military engineering duties, such as breaching fortifications, demolitions, bridge-building, laying or clearing minefields, preparing field defenses, and road and airfield construction and repair.

To receive the distinctions, Farkas, attached to the 119th Engineer Company, 1092nd Engineer Battalion, with the West Virginia National Guard, attended a 28-day leadership development course at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, which teaches combat engineers advanced techniques needed across the Army.

At 17, Farkas is the youngest ever recipient of the SAPPER title and tab.

"Private 1st Class Farkas earning the SAPPER Tab at such a young age is a tremendous achievement," said Lt. Col. David "Jake" Watson, commanding officer of the West Virginia Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion, and SAPPER himself. "The SAPPER motto is ‘SAPPERs Clear the Way!! SAPPERs in the Breach!!' His physical fitness, capacity to foster teamwork and mental aptitude for quick thinking has been tested and proven to be of high merit. His personal fortitude undoubtedly carried him through the demanding course."
