63rd Engineers

The 63rd Engineer Battalion was originally constituted on 10 July 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. During World War II, the unit served in the European Theater, providing essential combat engineering support during the campaigns in Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After the war, the battalion was inactivated and later reactivated several times, adapting its mission to meet the needs of various conflicts and peacetime operations. The 63rd Engineers have a distinguished record of service, contributing construction, mobility, and support to U.S. Army operations both at home and abroad.
