46th Engineers

The 46th Engineer Battalion was first constituted on 7 December 1917 in the National Army as the 46th Engineers and organized at Camp Sheridan, Alabama. During World War I, the unit served in France, providing vital engineering support for the American Expeditionary Forces. Reactivated and redesignated multiple times, the battalion played a significant role in World War II, participating in campaigns in North Africa, Italy, and Europe, where it constructed bridges, cleared minefields, and facilitated troop movements. In the years following, the 46th Engineers have supported numerous operations, both in combat and humanitarian missions, exemplifying their motto "Mission First."
