My father was in the 149th combat engineer battalion. They landed on DDay on Omaha Beach. Their boat hit a mine coming in and several men were injured or killed. My father was injured, but able to go on.
US combat engineers call themselves sappers, so yes the 37E has sappers. That answer isn't necessarily true. Not all Combat Engineers are considered "Sappers." There is actually a "Sapper" school, which is sort of the "Ranger" school for Combat Engineers. Yes, there ARE Sappers in the 37th Engineer Battalion but only because they have sent people to Sapper School, which is also located at Ft Leonard Wood, MO, just like the Combat Engineer AIT training. Trust me, I was there. I also was in the 37th Engineer Bn. and I went to Sapper School.
'In Theater' refers to serving in a combat (IE: Afghanistan) or operational (IE: Kuwait) environment.
I am unable to find any record of the 1138th Engineer Combat Battalion being stationed in Iceland. Furthermore, I am unable to find any record of an 1138th Engineer Combat Battalion being activated during WW 2. Please feel free to contact me with the source of your information, so that I may continue research on your behalf. It would be my pleasure to assist you. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com

there is an air force base but it is not currently being used for combat, it is merely a presence.
Combat engineer training in the U.S. Army typically lasts about 14 weeks. This includes Basic Combat Training (about 10 weeks) followed by Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which focuses on specific skills related to combat engineering. The duration may vary slightly depending on the specific program and the soldier's prior training or experience.
I have a complete history of the 108th Engineer Combat Battalion, the Engineer Unit organic to the 33rd Infantry Division. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com
