401st Engineers

The 401st Engineer Battalion was first constituted during World War II as part of the U.S. Army, organized to provide critical engineering support in the European Theater. The unit was instrumental in constructing bridges, clearing obstacles, and enabling mobility for Allied forces during major operations, including the advance through France and into Germany. After the war, the 401st Engineers continued to serve in various capacities, supporting both combat and humanitarian missions during the Cold War and into the 21st century. Today, the battalion remains a vital component of Army engineering efforts, contributing to both domestic and overseas missions.
