The 20th Engineers deployed to Bosnia in 1998 as part of a 1st Cavlary Division rotation to that war-torn country.
Combat engineers from Company A, 20th Engineers and the Romanian Army consult blue prints as they erect a Mabey and Johnson
bridge at Camp Demi near Kladanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Sept. 28, 1998. The flooding Drinjaca river
damaged the supports of the present bridge leading to the American army compound, which was forced to close the
gate used for heavy vehicle traffic. The construction of the bridge is a combined effort between the 2nd Platoon, Company A, 20th U.S. Engineers; 1st Platoon, Company A, 40th U.S. Engineers, from Idar Oberstein, Germany; Brown and Root civilian contractors; and Romanian Army Engineers. The engineers
were deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina to support Operation Joint Forge. DoD photos by Staff Sgt. Lisa
