156th Engineer Battalion

The 156th Engineer Battalion was first constituted during World War II as part of the United States Army, activated to provide crucial engineering support in both combat and construction operations. Throughout the war, the battalion played a vital role in building bridges, clearing obstacles, and repairing infrastructure to aid the advance of Allied forces in the European Theater. After the war, the 156th was reorganized as part of the Army National Guard, continuing its mission of supporting both state and federal operations, including disaster response and overseas deployments. Over the decades, the unit has earned a distinguished reputation for its technical proficiency, versatility, and dedication to mission success.
