1st Engineer Battalion. Always First. The Motto That Means Everything.
In the United States Army, the 1st Engineer Battalion has always led the way. Always First isn’t just a motto — it’s a legacy earned through generations of combat engineers who breached the obstacles others couldn’t cross, built the infrastructure others couldn’t build, and arrived on the objective before anyone else. From training grounds to forward operating bases, the 1st Engineers set the standard and hold it without apology.
This premium apparel honors the soldiers of the 1st Engineer Battalion who carry the Always First tradition — wearing the Engineer Branch insignia as a mark of pride, professionalism, and an uncompromising commitment to mission accomplishment.
