20th Combat Engineer Battalion
U.S. Army
The 20th Combat Engineer Battalion was first constituted on 11 December 1935 in the Regular Army and activated on 1 July 1940 at Fort Benning, Georgia. During World War II, the battalion provided crucial engineer support in the European Theater, participating in campaigns such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. After the war, the 20th continued to serve with distinction, supporting U.S. Army operations during the Cold War and later in Operation Desert Storm. The battalion was inactivated on 15 October 1993 at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, after decades of dedicated service in combat engineering roles.
