30th Engineer Battalion

The 30th Engineer Battalion was originally constituted on 1 July 1940 in the Regular Army as the 2d Battalion, 30th Engineers and activated at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. The unit served with distinction during World War II, participating in key campaigns across the European Theater, including Normandy and the Rhineland. After the war, the battalion underwent several reorganizations and redesignations, eventually becoming the 30th Engineer Battalion. Throughout its history, the battalion has provided vital combat engineering support, including construction, mobility, and countermobility operations, supporting both national defense and overseas contingency missions.
