HISTORY OF THE 20th INFANTRY

The original 20th Infantry, organized under the Act of June 26, 1812, first saw action in the War of 1812, fighting in Canada and the United States. After the war it was consolidated with four other regiments to form the 4th Infantry. The present regiment was organized in May, 1861, as the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Infantry, and was ordered to Washington, D. C. as part of the 2nd Brigade of General Sykes' Division, forming the reserves when General McClellan began his Peninsula Campaign. Later it joined the Army of the Potomac under General Pope, and saw action in the Second Battle of Bull Run. It also participated in the Battles of Antietam, Shepardstown, Rappahannock Station, New Hope Church, Rapidan River, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.

In 1867 the regiment was transferred to Baton :Rouge, La., and in 1869, to the Department of Dakota. Here it was scattered over several stations, the most isolated and inaccessible in the country, around which roamed savage bands of Sioux. In 1871, Company I formed a part of Colonel Custer's exploring party in the Black Hills country.

After commanding the regiment for 12 years, Colonel Sykes died in February, 1880. From its long association with this great Civil War leader, the 20th Infantry has since been known as "Sykes' Regulars," and it celebrates as Organ­ization Day the birthday of Brevet Major General George Sykes-October 9, 1822.

In 1898 the regiment embarked for Cuba to take part in the Spanish-American War, and entered the fight at El Caney as a part of General Lawton's Division. In August it sailed to Montauk Point, N. Y., and proceeded to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where it received orders to the Philippine Islands. Arriving at Manila February 23, 1899, the regiment took part in the batiles around Manila against the Insurgent Army, particularly at Cainta and Pasig. It earned distinction by its control of Manila, which stood as the base of all operations.

ln February, 1902, the 20th Infantry sailed [or the States, remaining one year and e•ght months before it sailed again for Manila. It remained on duty there from December, 1903, until it embarked and arrived at San Francisco, Cal., in April, 1906-eight days before the earthquake. The regiment went on guard 10 the banking district when this catastrophe occurred, and it was withdrawn to The Presidio in May.

In 1907 the 2nd Battalion was ordered to Honolulu, T. H., and in June, 1909, the remainder o£ the regiment pro­ceeded to the Philippines, visiting its 2nd Battalion at Honolulu as it passed through. In 1911 and 1912 the regiment was gathered back from these stations and assembled at Fort Douglas, Utah. In November, 1913, the regiment was ordered to El Paso, Texas, for border duty, returning to Salt Lake City, Utah, in May, 1917.

In June, 1918, the regiment proceeded to Camp Funston, Kan., as a part of the lOth Division, commanded by Major General Leonard Wood. An advance detachment was sent to France in October, 1918, and the lOth Division was ready to go overseas when the Armistice was signed. The lOth Division was broken up, the 20th Infantry going to Nebraska, Michigan, and Indiana. In June, 1920, it was transfer red to Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

In June, 1923, the 3rd Battalion was ordered to Fort Sill, Okla. In June, 1927, the entire 4th Brigade moved by train to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., and the 20th Infantry again found itself a reunited regiment.

Revolution in Northern Mexico early in 1929 created a need for additional troops along the border, and in April, 1929, the regiment was ordered to Arizona for this duty. On April 30 the revolution collapsed, and the regiment returned to Fort D. A. Russell, which station later became known as Fort Francis E. Warren.

In August, 1939, the regiment proceeded by motor convoy to Camp Bullis, Texas, to take part in the Provisional 2nd Division Maneuvers, making a practical test of the new "streamlined division." Upon completion of the maneu­vers it returned to its home station in September, 1939. Two months later, the regiment less the 1st Battalion en­trained for Camp Jackson, S. C., to take part in the 6th Division Maneuvers. The 1st Battalion proceeded to Camp Jackson by motor convoy.

After remaining at Camp Jackson for several months the Twentieth proceeded with the Division to Camp Beau­regard, La., for maneuvers. Returning to the north it also took part in the Camp Ripley, Minn., Fourth Army Maneu­vers in the summer of 1940. From Minnesota the 20th Infantry proceeded lo Camp Perry where it assisted in running the National Matches. It then returned to Fort Warren for the fall and winter, moving to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in the spring of 1941 and rejoining the other 6th Division units at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., in May, 1941.
