The 7th Engineer Brigade will be reactivated under the command of Col. Kyle T. Moulton. Presiding over the ceremony will be Brig. Gen. Ronald Ragin, commander of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command.
This historic event marks the reactivation of the U.S. Army’s only European-based engineer brigade, which falls under the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, which is the U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s sustainment command.
Originally founded as the 5202nd Engineer Construction Brigade in June 1944, the7th Engineer Brigade led important missions around the world during peace and war before its inactivation in 1992 at Ludendorff Kaserne, Kornwestheim, Germany.
