Unit History

The 112th Engineer Regiment was originally constituted in the National Guard and has a lineage that traces back to the early 20th century. The unit was organized and federally recognized in Pennsylvania, serving as part of the Pennsylvania National Guard. During World War I, the regiment was mobilized and served with distinction in France as part of the 37th Division, participating in major campaigns such as the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. After the war, the regiment was demobilized but later reorganized and continued its service in the interwar period. In World War II, the 112th Engineer Regiment was again activated, providing critical engineering support in both the European and Pacific Theaters. The regiment was involved in constructing bridges, clearing obstacles, and supporting combat operations. Following World War II, the unit underwent several reorganizations and redesignations as part of the evolving structure of the U.S. Army and National Guard. Sources: Wikipedia.
