The 584th Engineer Company (Clearance) "Wooly Bullies" was activated at Fort Hood on 16 October 2007 and was first assigned to the 8th Engineer Battalion.
In xx, the 584th Engineers was relieved from the 8th Engineer Battalion and assigned to the 20th Engineer Battalion. This reorganization renewed the strong association between the 584th and 20th Engineers, as the Vietnam-era 584th Engineer Company (Light Equipment) was attached to the 20th Engineers for most of the Vietnam War. It was in Vietnam that the company picked up the nickname "Wooly Bully" from the popular song of that era. Throughout Vietnam the company left its signature, such as Camp Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully Quarry, etc.
In January 2010 the 584th Engineers deployed to Afghanistan as part of the 20th Engineer Battalion. Click the streamer below for more information about the 20th Engineers in Afghanistan.
