3rd LES

The 3rd Light Equipment Squadron (3rd LES) was established in the early 1950s as part of the Army’s effort to modernize its engineering and support capabilities. Initially tasked with providing heavy equipment and construction support during major training exercises and national emergencies, the 3rd LES quickly gained a reputation for efficiency and technical expertise. Over the decades, the unit deployed to several overseas operations, including peacekeeping missions and disaster relief efforts, where it played a crucial role in infrastructure repair and mobility support. Today, the 3rd LES continues to serve as a vital component of the Army’s engineering corps, renowned for its rapid response and adaptability in diverse operational environments.
