JON BACON wrote on July 25, 2011 CITY AND STATE: KENT WA UNIT: CO C 547TH ENG BN (COMBAT) SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: 547th Eng Bn (Combat) did not serve in Korea. In August 1951, the 547th moved to Kelley Barracks in Darmstadt. Kelley Barracks. In late 1955 the 547th was alerted for a "gyroscope" move, that is, a temporary relocation of a unit to the United States. In April 1956, the battalion departed Darmstadt and sailed for America, finally closing as a unit on Fort Ord, California in May 1956. Finally, after 30 months in CONUS, the battalion returned to Germany, closing on Kelley Barracks, Darmstadt an 20 November 1958, where it has remained ever since. This gives the 547th the distinction of being one of the few troop units to have served in the same location for over 30 years. The Bridge Builders played an essential role during the Berlin Air Lift (sic), primarily in preparing bivouac areas for incoming troops during the period 1961-64. On 15 January 1968, the 547th was separated from the 7th Army Command and reassigned to V Corps. The following year, in June of 1969, the battalion was assigned to the newly organized 130th Engineer Brigade. The year 1990 was a year of transition for the battalion. In the summer months it was rumored the battalion would inactivate in line with the impending drawdown in Europe. With the advent of operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm the battalion began deploying 156 soldiers, and a great deal of equipment to South West Asia in support of our sister units. The battalion's inactivation was officially on 1 October 1991. Keywords: US Army Germany, 547th Eng Bn
