Faithful Patriot. The Oldest Engineers in the Army.

The 1st Engineer Battalion is not just any combat engineer unit — it is the oldest and most decorated engineer battalion in the United States Army, tracing its lineage to the original Company of Sappers and Miners organized at West Point, New York in 1846. For nearly 180 years, the 1st Engineers have provided sustained engineer support across the full spectrum of military operations — from breaching obstacles in combat to building the infrastructure of freedom.

This 15oz White Ceramic Mug honors the Faithful Patriot mission — the 1st Engineer Battalion’s border protection service — with the Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) ribbon, a daily tribute to the engineers who answered the call at home.
