“NOUS SERVIRONS DE NOUVEAU”
(“We will Serve Again”)

(Hessen Homburg Kaserne, Hanau, Germany)

The 23d Engineer Battalion deployed to Southwest Asia from Hanau, Germany. The main body of the battalion arrived in Saudi Arabia on or about 22 December 1990, and remained until on or about 12 June 1991. The bridge company, E Company, redeployed earlier.  This battalion was organic to the 3d Armored Division as the original division engineer battalion, and deployed as one of two battalions that made up the Division Engineer Brigade (the other being the 12th Engineer Battalion from Dexheim).

The 23d Engineer Battalion (minus detachments – see below) supported the 2d Brigade during the Desert Storm ground offensive.  During combat operations, the 23d Engineer Battalion was task organized as follows:
