62nd Engineering Battalion

The 62nd Engineer Battalion, known as the "Stallion Battalion," was first constituted on 3 May 1930 in the Regular Army and activated on 1 October 1933 at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. Throughout World War II, the battalion played a critical role in constructing bridges, roads, and airfields in both the European and Pacific Theaters. The unit earned campaign participation credit in operations such as Normandy, Rhineland, and Central Europe, and later took part in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, providing vital combat engineering support. In recent decades, the 62nd Engineer Battalion has supported numerous missions including Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, continuing to uphold its legacy of excellence in combat engineering and construction operations.
