76th Engineer Battlion

The 76th Engineer Battalion was constituted on 1 October 1933 in the Regular Army and activated on 1 June 1941 at Fort Meade, Maryland. During World War II, the battalion participated in several campaigns in the European Theater, providing critical combat engineering support including bridge construction, mine clearance, and fortification building. After the war, the 76th Engineer Battalion was inactivated and reactivated multiple times, serving in various capacities during the Korean War, Vietnam War, and in later operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. Known for its motto "Victory by Valor," the battalion has earned a distinguished record for its service and adaptability in both combat and construction roles.
