Symbolism:
Shield: The shield of the coat of arms of the former 18th Engineer
Regiment, differenced by a border, is used to indicate the descent of
the 62nd Engineer Battalion from that organization. The shield is in the
colors of the Corps of Engineers. The trestle is emblematic of the
technical duties of the battalion.
Crest: The white wavy bar crossing the disc at center symbolizes the
battalion's service on the Alcan Highway during World War II which
earned them their first award of the Meritorious Unit Commendation;
later while serving in Korea from 1950-1951 and from 1952-1953 they were
twice more awarded the Commendation as suggested by the scarlet and blue
disc at center, a symbol adapted from the national flag of the Republic
of Korea. The crossed bamboo sections allude to the battalion's service
in Vietnam where they also received three Meritorious Unit
Commendations. The wreath of rice stalks in scarlet and green represents
the Vietnamese Civil Action Honor Medal, First Class, awarded to the
battalion for service during 1967-1970.
Background: The coat of arms was approved on 20 July 1954. It was
amended to add a crest on 15 March 1973.
