20th Engineer Battalion is a combat engineer battalion of the United States Army.

The 20th Engineer Regiment was formed in 1917 as the United States prepared to enter World War I. It was established as a Forestry Regiment that grew to consist of 29 battalions and over 46,000 soldiers—the largest regiment in the history of the United States Army. It conducted forestry and ancillary operations throughout France, from the Spanish and Swiss borders to the very front lines in Ardennes. The 20th Engineer Regiment was organized with the mission to provide lumber for combat and support operations for the American Expeditionary Force and its allies, thereby earning the name "Lumberjacks". The US Forestry Service was largely in charge of recruiting for the regiment and was able to fill the first few battalions with men from within the Forestry Service and the civilian forestry industry. In November 1917, the first 2 battalions of the 20th Engineer Regiment arrived in Saint-Nazaire, France. As additional battalions flowed to France, the 6th Battalion of the 20th Engineers suffered a major catastrophe as 91 soldiers of the battalion were killed when their ship, the SS Tuscania, was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Scotland. The regiment had battalions stationed throughout France, in some places immediately behind the front lines, and in other places as far away as the mountains near the Spanish border. The 20th Engineer Regiment was demobilized upon returning to the United States in 1919 after it helped re-construct French infrastructure.
