No.2 Construction Battalion primarily performed which type of work during WWI?

• A. Frontline combat duties
• B. Dug trenches, logging, shipping, repairing roads, and distributing supplies
• C. Naval patrols
• D. Pilot duties

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that war efforts relied on labor and support roles to keep fighting units supplied and enabled, not on direct frontline fighting. No. 2 Construction Battalion was formed to perform essential engineering and logistical work behind the lines. Their tasks included digging trenches as part of fortifications, logging, shipping, repairing roads, and distributing supplies to where they were needed. These duties kept the army running—the trenches and roads support, the transport of materials, and the provisioning of troops—without engaging in direct combat. Frontline combat, naval patrols, and pilot duties were handled by other specialized branches, not by this construction battalion.
