591st Engineering

The 591st Engineer Company was originally constituted during World War II, activated in 1942 as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The unit played a critical role in constructing airfields, bridges, and supply routes in the European Theater, supporting Allied advances across France and Germany. After the war, the 591st was deactivated and later reactivated for service in the Vietnam War, where its engineers built and maintained vital infrastructure under combat conditions. In the decades since, the 591st Engineering unit has continued to serve in various capacities, supporting both combat and humanitarian missions worldwide.
