Mission Accomplished
During World War I the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
redirected its efforts from
.
improving rivers and harbors in
the United States to providing
structures and services needed to
transport, supply, and assist over a
million American combat troops on
the battlefield in France. Engineer
officers quickly developed a diverse
group of troop units that provided
a broad range of support services
to the American Expeditionary
Forces.
The engineers combined courage
under fire with critically needed
technical skills. Their contribution
was essential to the success of the
U.S. Army in World War I.
