391st Engineers

The 391st Engineer Battalion was constituted on 5 May 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated on 15 August 1942 at Camp Pickett, Virginia. During World War II, the unit served with distinction in the European Theater, participating in campaigns such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe, where it was responsible for constructing vital bridges, roads, and fortifications. After the war, the battalion was inactivated, but later reactivated in the Army Reserve, continuing its tradition of providing engineer support in both combat and peacetime operations. Today, the 391st Engineer Battalion remains an essential combat support unit, prepared to deploy and provide engineering expertise wherever needed.
