47th Engineering Company

The 47th Engineering Company was originally activated during World War II to provide vital engineering support for combat operations in the European Theater, specializing in bridge construction and obstacle removal under fire. After the war, the unit was inactivated and later reconstituted during the Korean War, where it played a key role in maintaining supply routes and constructing defensive fortifications. Throughout the Cold War and into the 21st century, the 47th Engineering Company supported numerous training exercises and humanitarian missions, adapting to evolving military engineering technologies and tactics. Today, the unit continues to serve as a highly trained combat engineer company, ready to deploy worldwide in support of U.S. Army missions.
