Engineer Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division
On order, the Engineer Brigade conducts combat engineer and general engineering operations in support of 2ID's Operations inside of the Republic of Korea.
The Engineer Brigade was officially activated as part of the Regular Army on 16 February 1992 at Indianhead Field, Camp Casey, Republic of Korea. The Brigade consists of a Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, and the 2nd and 44th Combat Engineer Battalions. Corps assets currently attached to the Brigade include the 50th Engineer Company (Assault Float Brigade) and the 82D Engineer Company (Combat Support Equipment). Korean augmentation includes the 3rd and 7th Korean Service Corps Companies. The Engineer Brigade was formed from elements of the 2nd Engineer Group. The group came to Korea shortly after the outbreak of hostilities in 1950 and received several Meritorious Unit Commendations between 1950 and 1953. After the war, the group assumed its mission as the area engineer for Seoul and Inchon. The group occupied several camps in Korea; among them, Camps Richmond and Coiner. At the time, the group was composed of the 44th and 802nd Engineer Battalions (Combat Heavy). In August 1991, the group moved to Camp Hovey where it was reorganized in November 1991 to become the Engineer Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. The Engineer Brigade was soon after relocated to Camp Howze where it is today.
