To  whom it may concern, I am trying to find any and all information or  photos on my grandfather, Ray Dale Ballew. He was a member of C CO 44th  Engineering Battalion from I believe August of 1966 to Possibly  September of 1967. in Korea as a Food Service Specialist. I would like  to know more about his service during that time, as he passed in the  early 2000’s and is no longer here.

He was a member of C CO  44th Engineering Battalion from 10 Feb 1955 to 6 Oct 1955 in Korea as a  Heating and Ventilation Specialist. He passed away in the mid 90s but I  am interested in learning more of his involvement on the Korean  Peninsula. Thank you!

I  am a National Service Officer with Disabled American Veterans and I  have a veteran who states that he was in C Co, 44th Engineer BN at Camp  Beavers, South Korea in 1967-68. I am trying to verify the Unit's  history for that timeframe and have not come across any yet. If there  are any documents that can prove the unit was there and that personnel  were along the DMZ during that timeframe, it would be a great help to  his cause of claiming Agent Orange exposure.

I was assigned to the 44th Engineer Bn from Feb. 1970 to Apr. 1971.  First to B-Company and then to the HHC S-3 Section as the Staff Civil  Engineer. LTC Rorabaugh was the Bn. Commander. I think the CSM was  Torres? B Company led the battalion to the Chinhae Ammo Bunker project  and set up the first "tent" city cantonment area. It was a great time.  If you remember anyone in the 44th during that time, I'd like to  connect. I live in San Antonio, TX now.

I  was a KATUSA soldier from December 1990 to May 1993 at H.H.C., 44th  Engr. Bn.. I was first stationed in Camp Mercer at Ojung-dong, Bucheon  near Gimpo Airport with a 8th Army patch on my shoulder and, in early  1992, 44th got merged into 2nd I.D. so we had to change the patch into  the Indian Head. I was a 31K at commo section and participated in the  Team Spirit twice during my service. In 1991, I had SFC Morrison for the  section leader and in 1993 SFC Parker. Would like to get a hold of them  if they are still around.

Hey  guys, I'm about to retire after 24 years of service, and I was doing  some random research on engineer stuff for an upcoming dining-in and  your page came up. I was deployed to Iraq in 2004-2005 with the 44th  Engineers before they deactivated and reading the history part on your  page, it would seem there's a little bit more story to tell. The unit  participated heavily in the 2nd Battle of Fallujah in Iraq and fought  alongside the 1st and 2nd MARDIV in Ramadi and it was a pretty bloody  tour (by OIF standards) with 2nd BCT out of 2nd ID Korea. I'm sure a lot  more could be found through more knowledgeable sources. I'll be living  in Texas after I get out so might try to join and come to the Huntsville  event next year, but I think the history is worth looking into. I've  tried finding more, but it seems that chapter is mostly gone after the  unit deactivated at Carson. Thanks, Doug
