84th Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Heavy)

The 84th Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Heavy) prepares to deploy worldwide and, as directed, conducts general engineering operations in support of military operations.

Upon returning from Vietnam, the colors of the 84th were moved to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. In late July 1972, the 84th EBC was formally merged with the 577th Engineer Battalion (Construction), which arrived to Hawaii in January 1972 with 3 officers and 11 enlisted men. The combined unit was designated the 84th Engineer Battalion (Construction). After steadily growing in strength, the battalion became active on other islands in the Hawaiian chain and at one time had men operating on four islands simultaneously.
