Howdy fellows. I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to information about the 1120th Combat Engineer Group.

Thanks in advance

Hallo, JWalt!

Wilkommen to the forum, first of all! We would love to have you here oftenly.

Unfortunately, USA's armed forces are in no-way my strong point... I guess you will have to wait for our experts in the matter.
