547th Engineer Battalion

The 547th Engineer Battalion was constituted during World War II, officially activated on 25 February 1943 at Camp Bowie, Texas. The battalion played a significant role in the European Theater, supporting Allied advances by constructing bridges, clearing obstacles, and repairing roads during major campaigns such as the Rhineland and Central Europe. After the war, the 547th continued its service, participating in various engineering missions and training exercises during the Cold War period. Today, the battalion remains an integral part of the U.S. Army's engineering force, providing critical combat and construction support in both domestic and overseas operations.
