232nd Engineers Co

[Walt's Daughter]

 

Another great piece of documentation from the archives at Fort Leonard Wood. Thanks Dave!

 

This is a brief history of the 232nd Engineer Combat Co, an integral part of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team - Written by T/5 George Goto, Unit Historian and supplied by Kenji J. Yaguchi.

 

It was the only Company in United States Army history, to be composed of all Japanese-Americans officers and enlisted personnel. They trained as a separate unit (company) and were activated on Feb 7, 1943 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
