11TH ENGINEER BATTALION
The 11th Engineer Battalion Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI), or unit crest, was approved on 17 August 1925. Its design was based upon the unit’s 1920 activation in the Regular Army: It was organized in the Panama Canal Zone of the Isthmus of Panama and performed most of its field work in the thick jungles found in the Isthmus. To allude to the area where the unit was formed and first served, one of the common denizens of the region was selected for the insignia: the tigre negro, or black panther.
Inactivated in 2016, the Battalion was reactivated in 2017 and relocated to Camp Humphries in South Korea, where it supports the 2nd Infantry Division, 8th Army.
