The 112th Engineer Regiment was a combat engineer unit of the U.S. Army that served during World War II. Constituted and activated as part of the Army’s wartime expansion, the regiment was assigned to the 37th Infantry Division. The 112th Engineers deployed to the Pacific Theater, where they played a critical role in supporting infantry operations by constructing roads, bridges, and defensive positions, as well as clearing obstacles and mines. The regiment participated in major campaigns including the Northern Solomons, Luzon, and the liberation of the Philippines. Following the end of hostilities, the 112th Engineer Regiment was inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown.
