The 27th Engineer Battalion was first constituted on 16 January 1918 in the National Army as the 2nd Battalion, 37th Engineer Regiment, and organized at Fort Myer, Virginia. It was redesignated several times before becoming the 27th Engineer Battalion in 1940. The unit has a distinguished history, having served in major conflicts including World War II, the Vietnam War, and Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, providing combat engineering support such as mobility, countermobility, and survivability operations. Stationed at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, the battalion continues to support U.S. Army missions worldwide, enabling maneuver forces through rapid engineering solutions.
