During World War II, the 729th Railway Operating Battalion landed on the beaches of France ten days after D-Day; rebuilding the freight yards of Cherbourg and operating the Antwerp freight terminal, it provided troop, passenger and freight transport following the Allied Invasion. The 1205th supported Operation Desert Shield during the Persian Gulf war. Futher info is avialable from their weblink below. |
