937th Engineer Group Unit Crest (No Motto)
The 937th Engineer Group was originally activated as the 937th Engineer Aviation Camouflage Battalion, U.S. Army Air Corps in September 1942. Deployed to Europe in 1944, the Battalion took part in four campaigns—Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, and Ardennes-Alsace—before its inactivation in 1945. Following reactivation in early 1947, the Battalion was assigned to Strategic Air Command, eventually being allotted to the 14th Air Force, Continental Air Command before being inactivated for a second time on 20 June 1953.
It received its final redesignation as the 937th Engineer Group on 1 February 1955, and it was in that role that it fought in a dozen campaigns of the Vietnam War and two Southwest Asia campaigns (Defense of Saudi Arabia and Liberation and Defense of Kuwait). On 30 June 2005, the unit was formally inactivated during a ceremony held at Fort Riley, Kansas.
Approved on 17 April 1969, the 937th Engineer Group Distinctive Unit Insignia (also known as a “unit crest”) features a gold pickaxe and a gold bayonet positioned saltirewise, a reference to both the combat engineering mission of the unit and the gold mining industry of its home state of California. Four ermine spots denote the four World War II campaigns.
