366th Engineering Aviation Battalion SCARWAF

The 366th Engineering Aviation Battalion (Separate), known as a SCARWAF (Special Category Army Personnel With the Air Force) unit, was activated during the early 1950s to support United States Air Force operations. SCARWAF units were unique Army engineer units assigned to construct, repair, and maintain airfields and related facilities, primarily for the USAF during the Korean War and Cold War period. The 366th was comprised of Army engineers trained to rapidly build and maintain runways, hangars, and other aviation infrastructure, often under challenging conditions and sometimes near combat zones. Their contributions were vital in enabling the rapid deployment and sustained operations of American air power in critical theaters of operation.
