    21. The 765th Transportation Railway Shop Battalion (second award) is cited for exceptionally meritorious

    conduct in the performance of outstanding actions in Korea during the period 22 September 1951 to 21

    March 1952. Responsible for the inspection, maintenance and repair of most of the railroad rolling stock in

    use in Korea, the members of this battalion consistently carried out their multifarious duties in an

    exemplary manner. One of their most outstanding achievements was the introduction of American

    production methods which resulted in a tremendous increase in efficiency in the shops operated by the

    battalion. Periodic and extensive salvage drives by this unit made possible the saving of a large amount of

    money during a period when economy was the keynote. The superior technical proficiency and tireless

    effort of the members of this battalion earned them the deepest respect and admiration of all those

    cognizant of their fine work and contributed immeasurably to the success achieved by their organization in

    accomplishing its critically essential mission, thus materially furthering the cause of the United Nations in

    Korea. The 765th Transportation Railway Shop Battalion displayed such outstanding devotion to duty in the

    performance of exceptionally difficult tasks as to set it apart and above other units with a similar mission.

    The great skill, esprit de corps, and unstinting devotion to duty exhibited by the members of this battalion

    reflect great credit on themselves and the military service of the United States. (General Orders 468,

    Headquarters, Eighth United States Army, Korea, 17 August 1952.)
