37th Engineer Battalion Champion® CREW
Wear the legacy of the 37th Engineer Battalion.
The 37th Engineer Battalion, known as the “Eagle Battalion,” has a distinguished history of service in the U.S. Army. Activated on January 16, 1918, as the 1st Battalion, 37th Engineer Regiment, it specialized in electrical and mechanical engineering during World War I, participating in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The battalion was inactivated in March 1919 but was reactivated in January 1941. During World War II, it was reorganized as the 37th Engineer Combat Battalion (Amphibious) and assigned to the 5th Engineer Special Brigade. The unit played a crucial role in Operation Overlord, landing with the initial waves on Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion. For its valor, the battalion received the Presidential Unit Citation and the French Croix de Guerre with Palm.
Post-World War II, the battalion underwent several activations and inactivations, reflecting the evolving needs of the Army. Notably, it was reactivated on August 16, 1987, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and assigned to the 20th Engineer Brigade. The battalion participated in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990, Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti in 1994, and multiple deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in the early 2000s. On October 16, 2024, the 37th Engineer Battalion was deactivated as part of the Army’s structural transformation, consolidating its engineer assets into a new airborne combat engineer company within the 82nd Airborne Division’s engineer battalion.
