The 2nd Engineer Battalion (2nd Eng BN) of the United States Army was originally constituted in 1861 as a company of engineers and has a storied history of service. The unit played a vital role during the Philippine–American War and was heavily engaged in World War I, constructing trenches and supporting combat operations in France. In the Korean War, the battalion famously fought at the Battle of Kunu-ri, where it destroyed its own equipment to prevent capture during a heroic rear-guard action. Today, the 2nd Engineer Battalion continues to provide critical combat engineering support, upholding its legacy of courage and technical expertise.
