During WW1 at Chickamauga Battlefield, the War Department established 3 camps - Camp Warden McLean, Camp Greenleaf, and Camp Forrest. Camp Forrest was the smallest of the 3, and served primarily as a training hub for engineers.

It was named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate hero from the Battle of Chickamauga. The War Department used the park as a training ground for soldiers preparing to fight in France. By the end of the war, 60,000 men had trained at the park, including engineers, officers, and medical personnel.
