FOREWORD 

Military historians and scholars of operational art have tended to neglect the role 

played by the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. Although the Army organized a historical office in 1918 to prepare a multivolume history of the war, budget 

restraints and other considerations frustrated Chief of Staff Thsker H. Bliss' intention to 

"record the things that were well done, for future imitation . . . , [and] the errors as 

shown by experience, for future avoidance." The momentous events of succeeding decades only strengthened this tendency to overlook our Army's role in the fields of France 

in 1918. This neglect, although understandable, is unfortunate: World War I posed 

unique challenges to American strategists, tacticians, and logisticians-challenges they 

met in ways that could provide today's military student with special insights into the 

profession of arms. 

Th encourage further research in the history of World War I and to fill a gap in the 

Army's historical documentation of that conflict, the Center of Military History has created a World War I series of publications consisting of new monographs and reprints. 

Complementing our newly published facsimile reprint Order of Battle of the United 

States Land Forces in the World War, we are reprinting this seventeen-volume compilation of selected AEF records along with a new introduction by David F. 1task. Gathered 

by Army historians during the interwar years, this massive collection in no way represents an exhaustive record of the Army's months in France, but it is certainly worthy of 

serious consideration and thoughtful review by students of military history and strategy and will serve as a useful jumping off point for any earnest scholarship on the war. 

There is a certain poignancy connected with the publication of this collection in the 

seventieth anniversary year of "the war to end all wars." Later this summer veterans of 

that war will gather together, perhaps for the last time, to discuss the history of the 

American Expeditionary Forces and to reminisce about their service. To them especially, but to all five million Americans who served in World War I. we dedicate this 

scholarly undertaking.

INTRODUCTION 

World War I and its myriad facets continue to generate considerable interest. After the war 

the Historical Section of the Army War College processed thousands of documents relating to the 

events of 1917-18. The War Department in 1939 directed the Historical Section to identify appropriate materials for publication; these documents were to provide the information needed to prepare" 'complete and accurate accounts of the participation of the military forces of the United 

States in the World War,''' 1 a charge that was later confined to overseas operations. In 1948 the 

United States Army published the compilation of documents taken from the records of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) that served in Europe during that mighty war. 

The seventeen-volume pUblication, entitled the United States Army in the World War, 1917-

1919, offers "a widely representative selection of the records ... believed to be essential to a 

study of the history of that war." 2 The experience of forty years demonstrates that the compilers 

fulfilled their responsibilities. Every authoritative publication that treats the American Expeditionary Forces must rely heavily on this massive collection, which includes what its compilers 

believed to be the most illustrative documents in the huge mass of paper that survived the war. 

Recognizing its importance, the U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH) has decided to reissue this collection, long since out of print, faithfully reproducing all documents as found without 

editorial correction of spelling or other grammatical errors in the text. The volumes' consecutive 

pagination remains the same. To comply with CMH editorial policy, the Center has made some 

formatting changes only in the front matter (original pages are indicated by brackets around original folios) and has not used diacritical marks unless warranted to distinguish one place from 

another. The Center also deemed necessary a few other changes: the use of different type and 

paper, as well as typography and design modifications, to enhance the overall quality of the work; 

the addition or deletion of a word in some volume titles to correct substantive errors and internal 

inconSistencies; and the splitting of Volume 10 into two parts to make its handling by the reader 

more manageable. These adjustments neither obfuscate volume identification nor alter the original scholarship. References in scholarly works to the original are valid in the new version. 

Throughout the collection the compilers remained faithful to their theme-the American 

Expeditionary Forces-reflecting the concerns of the American commander, General John J. 

Pershing, and his staff. All aspects of the AEF's history are covered in the seventeen volumes. 

Volume 1 treats the Organization of the American Expeditionary Forces. It begins with a 

cogent summary of the AEF's history, one that accords closely with the version presented by 

General Pershing himself in his autobiography, My Experiences in the World War, which appeared in 1931. 

Volume 2 covers the PolicyJorming Documents of the American Expeditionary Forces, the 

gUidance given the AEF in all of its diverse activity. 

Volume 3 offers information about the TI'aining and Use of American Units With the British 

and French. American divisions arriving in France typically served initially with either the 

French or British armies in order to receive realistic instruction.

Volumes 4-9 chronicle the Military Operations of the American Expeditionary Forces. The 

first four volumes in this subset present information concerning operations conducted by American units that served with French or British armies. beginning with a small contribution to the 

battle of Cambrai (20 November-4 December 1917) and continuing through the Somme offensive 

(8 August-11 November 1918). Memorable engagements fought by American divisions. such as 

Cantigny. Chateau-Thierry. Belleau Wood. Vaux. Soissons. and the Aisne-Marne offensive. are 

documented in depth. The remaining two volumes of the subset offer the records of the American First Army. which campaigned independently in two significant operations-the reduction of 

the St.-Mihiel salient (12-16 September 1918) and a sustained attack in the Meuse-Argonne sector (26 September-11 November 1918).

Volume 17 consists of the Bulletins. GHQ. AEF. 

Th achieve the fullest historical account from available documents. the compilers also took 

into consideration major developments exterior to the American Expeditionary Forces impinging 

upon the evolution of the organizations that served overseas. Among such subjects are the overall 

political goals (war aims) of the United States that influenced military decisions; the contributions of the Navy. the Marine Corps. and the merchant marine; the work of government agencies 

in the United States. especially the War Department; the activities of the Allied governments with 

which the United States was associated. especially Great Britain and France; and the efforts of 

the Central Powers. For example. Volume 11. devoted principally to the American occupation of 

Germany. includes an extensive set of translated German documents that traces the plans of the 

forces arrayed against the Allies along the Western Front. 

The documentary collection is concerned with two primal topics-the buildup of the American Expeditionary Forces and its employment on the Western Front during the last year of the 

war. The United States had not anticipated belligerency and therefore was largely unprepared for 

war; from 1915 to April 1917 President Woodrow Wilson had devoted himself to mediating the 

struggle. an enterprise that would bring about a settlement without requiring the use of American armed forces. Th be sure. the president had sponsored two remarkable pieces of military legislation in 1916-the Naval Act, providing for unprecedented expansion of that service ("a navy 

second to none"); and the National Defense Act. authorizing enormous growth in the size of the 

force and modernization-but the emergency that led to the American declaration of war in April 

1917 came before either the Army or the Navy could take advantage of the new legislation. This 

circumstance led to a helter-skelter mobilization that much delayed the deployment of an American army to France. Even after American divisions began to appear on the Western Front. the 

need for additional training caused further delays. 

Nevertheless. American troops might have been deeply committed on the Western Front 

much sooner. if the United States had acceded to what became known as "amalgamation" or 

"brigading"-the combining of American divisions. or even regiments. with experienced French 

and British troops under qualified commanders and staffs. The great military emergency that 

appeared suddenly on the Western Front in 1918 forced General Pershing to accept temporary 

amalgamation for combat as well as for training. but neither the commander-in-chief nor his government abandoned a fixed intention to field an independent American army that would operate 

under its own commanders according to its own doctrine in its own sector of the Western Front 

with its own support troops and services of supply. 

What accounts for the American insistence on the mobilization of an independent army? 

Widespread public opposition would have materialized. given the natural desire of the American 

xii 
people to have their troops fight under their own flag. Moreover. the army itself would have rejected brigading of any character. other than temporary amalgamation. for technical reasons as 

well as pride. Finally. there were compelling political motives. President Wilson opted for war 

with the fixed purpose of ensuring a postwar peace settlement consistent with American interests and aspirations. If an independent American army made an important, perhaps even decisive. contribution to the triumph of the Allied and Associated Powers. victory would greatly 

enhance the American bargaining position during postwar peace negotiations. 

In short. the decision to send an independent American army to France. while entirely consistent with the war aims of the United States. meant a lengthy delay of its deployment. President Wilson accepted considerable risk in deciding upon an independent army. which could not 

begin to operate effiCiently until at least 1919 and possibly 1920. German leaders recognized that 

unrestricted submarine warfare against noncombatant and neutral maritime commerce on the 

high seas would almost certainly lead to American belligerency. but they also assumed that the 

undersea campaign would force the Allies to accept defeat before unprepared America could intervene in sufficient strength to decide the outcome. 

The AEF documents do not provide extensive information on the mobilization that took 

place in the United States except to indicate the role of General Pershing and his staff in the process. The need to create a huge army in a minimum of time from almost nothing ensured a confused and complex mobilization. This enormous undertaking involved acquisition of needed 

manpower by means of conscription. procurement of necessary equipment. training of the vast 

draft army. creation of many new divisions and other units. and preparations for logistical support of the army-its movement to the combat zone and its maintenance thereafter. 3 

During 1917. while the United States dedicated itself to a massive mobilization that was necessarily chaotic in many respects. the Allies suffered through a disastrous year. First came the 

failure of French and British offensives on the Western Front. Meanwhile. Germany's U-boats 

torpedoed millions of tons of commercial shipping. Then. in October the Austrians inflicted a 

devastating defeat on the Italian army at Caporetto. forcing a precipitate retreat that threatened 

to drive Italy out of the war. Finally. the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia and immediately 

sought a separate peace with the Central Powers. 

These circumstances shaped military operations on the Western Front during 1918 and incidentally compelled changes in the American reinforcement. The German military command. 

headed by the team of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and Quartermaster General Erich von 

Ludendorff. decided to launch an all-out offensive in France. seeking to gain a decision before the 

Americans could arrive in sufficient strength to determine the outcome. Germany could count on 

a temporary superiority in manpower because it could transfer many experienced divisions to 

the Western Front from Russia. which was required to accept a humiliating peace treaty in 

March 1918. 

The German plan. divined by the Allies several months in advance of its starting date. complicated the American mobilization. It occasioned the Allies to divert shipping from the movement of supplies to the transport of American troops-in many cases organizations with only a 

modicum of training. It also greatly interfered with the measured pace of the American buildup. 

requiring temporary amalgamation of divisions into European formations. primarily for training. 

and delaying the deployment of an independent American army. Finally. it caused an imbalance 

in the force structure; infantry and machine-gun units were sent to Europe without other combat 

arms and support troops in an effort to counteract the German edge in manpower. a further barrier to the expeditious formation of a fully independent army. 

The campaign of 1918 turned on the outcome of two great enterprises. The first was a vast 

German offensive that took place from March to July 1918. The second was an even more imposing Allied counteroffensive that began in July 1918 and was sustained until Victory came in November 1918. 

3 The role of the AEF staff in these activities can be traced in vol. 1 on organization. vol. 2 on policy, vol. 3 on training 

in Europe. and vols. 12-15. the reports of the AEF staff.

Ever since the end of World War I. historians have analyzed the American contributions to 

the victory of 1918 without sufficient reference to the patent fact that the United States Army 

engaged the enemy both in defensive and offensive operations as part of an inter-Allied force under the command of a French generalissimo. General (later Marshall Ferdinand Foch. who during 

March 1918 was designated to coordinate the inter-Allied defense after the initial moves in the 

great German offensive. This tendency to treat national campaigns in undue isolation developed 

long before the Army published the AEF records. which provided documentation needed to study 

the campaign from an inter-Allied point of view as well as from the perspective of given nations. 

European historians also adopted this narrow approach. Most histories of the campaign in 1918 

emphasize national operations with insufficient attention to the inter-Allied command. For examxiv 
pIe, scholars in Britain and France tended to praise Foch when his decisions accorded with national desires and to criticize him otherwise. This proclivity was equally true of American writers. 

In recent years, however, American military historians in particular have emphasized the 

study of what has become known as the "operational level of warfare," essentially the tactics of 

large units as against small-unit tactics. The use of this method, when applied to commands at 

the theater level in 1918, promises to yield significant revisions of extant interpretations. 

The armies of the several Allied and Associated Powers occupied distinct portions of the 

Western Front. The British army was entrenched on the left, guarding critical ports on the 

English Channel that were crucial links in the lines of supply from the home islands to the British forces. The French army, located to the east and the south, occupied a central portion of the 

front protecting Paris, the French capital. Ludendorff attempted to drive a wedge between the 

British and French armies, disrupting communications so that the two armies could not support 

each other efficiently. 

These Franco-British dispositions on the left and center of the Allied lines ensured that the 

American troops, when ready to conduct independent operations, would do so on the right flank 

of the front in the region of Lorraine. With this thought in mind, the United States had long since 

concentrated on developing lines of supply that exploited existing rail lines extending from certain Atlantic ports to Lorraine-notably Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest, St.-Nazaire, La Pallice, 

Pauillac, Bordeaux, and Bassens. Some communications also extended to Lorraine from the Mediterranean port of Marseilles (Map 1). 

Although German operations forced the temporary amalgamation of American divisions arriving in France with the French and British armies for both training and operations, American 

divisions were usually placed in relatively quiet sectors of the front, thus releasing veteran European organizations for service in active sectors. A few American units were committed to combat 

in active sectors under French or British command as part of Foch's defensive dispositions. 

These defensive operations were part of the first of three basic operational phases in 1918. 

From March to July Ludendorff launched a series of five offensives against various points on the 

Western Front in the hope of imposing a decision upon the Allies before American reinforcements could exert a decisive influence on the battle. Pershing's divisions experienced their first 

limited but nevertheless significant combat in support of the desperate Franco-British defense 

directed by General Foch. The German attacks were as follows: Somme, 21 March-6 April; Lys, 

9-27 April; Aisne, 27 May-5 June; Montdidier-Noyon, 9-13 June; and Champagne-Marne, 

15-18 July. 

Ludendorff succeeded in driving a huge salient into the Western Front but failed to achieve 

any significant results. New tactical principles contributed to successful German penetrations, 

but this advantage was vitiated because the several offensives were not effectively coordinated, a 

circumstance that gave Foch opportunities to repair his defenses suffiCiently to preclude a decisive defeat. Sustained attacks from March to July caused great attrition in the German forces, 

using up most of the available reserves. The Allies also suffered huge losses, but because of the 

flow of American divisions to France the Allies regained superiority in manpower in July, and 

this margin continued to increase as the Central Powers absorbed more casualties later on and 

the Americans arrived in force. 

The German offensives had two important effects on the American Expeditionary Forces. 

They gradually brought American divisions into combat, and they caused a considerable change 

in the character of the American buildup. 

The American Expeditionary Forces made only a minor contribution to the active inter-Allied 

defense against the first two German offensives, one in March on the Somme River and the other 

in April on the Lys River, but when the third offensive began on 27 May, aimed at the high 

ground known as Chemin des Dames in Champagne, American divisions took part in the desperate battle. This action near the Aisne River was intended to force the Allies to transfer troops 

southward from the British zone in Flanders, thereby improving prospects for a major German 

offensive in Flanders somewhat later. On 2 June the American 2d Division, which included a 

brigade of marines, helped stem the German advance at Chateau-Thierry. An attack on Belleau 

Wood followed on 6 June, and this engagement led to further battles at Bouresches and Vaux. 

xv 
Although battles elsewhere dwarfed these engagements in themselves. they were of great significance in that they demonstrated that the first AEF units were ready for action.4 

On 28 May. just one day after the beginning of the third German offensive. the 28th Infantry. 

a regiment of the American 1st Division. executed a carefully planned attack on the village of 

Cantigny. located in the French sector. This success. like the American role in the Aisne defense. 

was of limited importance by itself. but it conveyed the same message as the actions at ChateauThierry. Belleau Wood. Bouresches. and Vaux. The American Expeditionary Forces was approaching the time when it could make a significant and growing contribution to the operations 

of Foch's inter-Allied force.s 

When the Germans launched still another stroke on 9 June. the Montdidier-Noyon offensive 

designed to improve the salient created in May. American troops made relatively few contributions. but they became deeply engaged in the fifth and final German attack that began on 15 

July. Aimed at Reims in the French zone. this operation was designed to consume French units. 

thus preventing their use in the defense against a long-planned German offensive in Flanders 

and also improving German communications to the north. On 4 July the I Corps of the American 

Expeditionary Forces. commanded by Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett. went into the line west of 

Chateau-Thierry as part of the French Sixth Army. It included the American 2d and 26th Divisions as well as the French 167th Division. The American 3d and 4th Divisions were brigaded 

with French units elsewhere in the area. The 3d Division earned its nickname. "The Rock of the 

Marne." because of its help in thwarting the German thrust. 6 Successful containment of the German attack on Reims quickly brought Ludendorffs massive offensive of 1918 to an end. General 

Foch was poised to assume the initiative. compelling Germany to adopt a defensive posture along 

the entire Western Front. 

While Foch conducted defensive operations from March to July 1918. the Allies succeeded in 

modifying the AEF's buildup despite stiff resistance from General Pershing. The need for immediate reserves eventually resulted in an agreement to ship only American infantry and machinegun troops to France during the crucial months of April-June. In return for this concession the 

British agreed to transport these reinforcements to the Western Front. Although American 

strength increased rapidly. this expedient interfered with the creation of a truly independent 

American army. It meant that for some time to come Pershing would have to rely heavily on the 

French and the British for artillery. ordnance. transport. and many other essentials. The arrangements of the early summer. however injurious in the short run. led directly to the decision of the 

American government to field eighty divisions in France by mid-1919. a considerable increase 

over the initial plans of 1917. although short of Pershing's desire for a hundred divisions. 7 

General Foch had planned to resume the offensive at the first opportunity. The opportune 

moment came after the check administered to the German attack on Reims. The deep German 

salient in this region invited attack; its reoccupation would improve the lateral communications 

of the Allies. giving them more flexibility in moving troops from place to place and reducing that 

of the enemy. The communications center of Soissons offered a desirable objective. 

The attack against Soissons that began on 18 July became one of four related rectifications 

of the Western Front that Foch had in mind-operations that taken together constituted a powerfullimited counteroffensive. These movements. all but one aiming at one of the salients that

2.200 troops (medical. engineer, air); Lys, 9-27 April, 500 troops (engineer, air); and Aisne, 27 May-5 June, 27,500 troops 

(2d Div, parts of 3d and 28th Divs). 

5 Vol. 4. For a thorough study of the set-piece battle at Cantigny see Allan R. Millett, "Cantigny, 28-31 May 1918," in 

Charles E. Heller and William A. Stofft, eds., America's First Battles. 1776-1965 (Lawrence. Kans.: University Press of 

Kansas, 1986), ch. 6. 

6 Vol. 4. American participation in these offensives was: Montdidier-Noyon, 9-13 June, 27,500 troops (1st Div); 

Champagne-Marne, 15-18 July, 85.000 troops (3d and 42d Divs, part of 28th Div). 

7 The number of American divisions present in France during 1918 increased as follows: March, 8; April, 9; May. 18; 

June. 25; July, 29; August, 35; September, 39; October, 42. Of the total, 33 divisions arrived during the six months of 

May-October. On 1 June the Germans had a rifle strength of about 1.64 million men to Foch's strength of about 1.35 

million. On 1 November the Germans had 866.000, a reduction of close to 50 percent since 1 June, to the Allied number 

of nearly 1.49 million-down from a high of 1.68 million on 1 September. 

xvi 
Ludendorff had driven into the Western Front from March to July, had a specific purpose, mainly 

to improve communications, but the larger motive was to restore the morale of the Allies and to 

depress that of the enemy. If successful, the limited counteroffensives would prepare the way for 

a general counteroffensive designed to eject the German army from Belgium and France. 

These limited counteroffensives required attacks by all the armies under Foch's direction. 

They were: an attack toward SOissons, designed to reduce the Marne salient and to free the ParisAvricourt railway; an attack in Picardy, designed to eliminate the Somme salient and to free the 

Paris-Amiens railway; an attack on the St.-Mihiel salient in Lorraine, designed to free the ParisAvricourt railway in the region of Commercy; and an attack on the Lys salient in Flanders, designed to regain control of mines located there and to eliminate a threat to the channel ports vital 

to British communications. 

Foch's limited operations from 18 July to 25 September make up the second of the three 

phases in the great campaign of 1918. The British army conducted the attack on the Somme and 

the operations in Flanders, the latter with the assistance of the Belgian army, and the French 

army made the attack on the Marne salient. American divisions in growing numbers participated 

in all of these offensives. The final assault, that on the St.-Mihiel salient, was assigned to the 

Americans. For this purpose General Pershing was finally allowed to organize an independent 

American force, the American First Army. 

The attacks on the Marne salient, known to the Americans as the Aisne-Marne offensive, 

took place between 18 July and 6 August, and additional operations continued beyond that date 

(Oise-Aisne offensive). Six American divisions (3d, 4th, 26th, 28th, 33d, and 42d Divisions) made 

extensive contributions to this successful assault. 8 

The British offensive in Picardy near Amiens began on 8 August and was soon carried to a 

successful conclusion. It was one of the most important single aspects of the limited counteroffensive; Ludendorff called 8 August "the black day of the German army." This success forced the 

German government to recognize that it could no longer dream of winning the war. The American 33d Division took part in these operations. 

The Ypres-Lys offensive took place between 19 August and 6 September. It posed limited 

difficulties because the Germans decided to withdraw, shortening their lines in this area, rather 

than to contest the ground seriously. Here the American 27th and 30th Divisions made important contributions to the British-Belgian success. 9 

From 12 to 16 September the American First Army, formed on 10 August, conducted the last 

of Foch's limited counteroffensives, the reduction of the St.-Mihiel salient. Ever since 1917 

Pershing had contemplated an attack on this location as a preliminary blow in a major attack to 

the east and the north, intended to breach the principal railway supporting the German army on 

the Western Front. If this line were interdicted, perhaps in the area of Metz, the German army 

would have to withdraw to the Rhine River because it would become impossible to reinforce and 

resupply its organizations in France and Belgium. 

Foch, however, vetoed this larger enterprise in favor of an attack that simply reduced the salient; he had further operations in mind elsewhere that required the use of Pershing's divisions. 

Success at St.-Mihiel would free the Paris-Avricourt railway and also eliminate a threat on the 

flank of the fortifications at Verdun and the line extending westward to the Meuse-Argonne sector. As soon as possible after the limited attack at St.-Mihiel, Foch planned to launch a general 

counteroffensive. He wished to employ the First Army as part of a Franco-American attack that 

would take place to the west in the region of Champagne-the Americans to assault the strong 

German positions in the Meuse-Argonne sector. Pershing accepted Foch's plan, although reluctantly, for it imposed upon his command the tasks of seizing a well-fortified salient that the enemy had occupied since 1914 and of transferring thereafter many American divisions from the 

St.-Mihiel area westward about 48 kilometers to the Meuse-Argonne sector within a period of only 

ten days. 

B American participation was: Aisne-Marne. 18 June-6 August, 270,000 troops (1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 26th, 28th, and 32d 

Divs); Oise-Marne, 7 August-ll November, 85,000 troops (28th, 32d, and 77th Divs). 

9 For the American role in these offensives see vol. 5. 

xvii 
Establishing his headquarters at Ligny-en-Barrois about 40 kilometers south of St.-Mihiel, 

Pershing feverishly set about the tasks of collecting the forces that made up the First Army, 

approximating 500,000 men, and of preparing them for the attack. Three corps were organized: I 

Corps, commanded by General Liggett and composed of the 2d, 5th, 82d, and 90th Divisions; IV 

Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman and composed of the 1st, 42d, and 89th 

Divisions; and V Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. George H. Cameron and composed of the 4th 

(partial), 26th, and French 15th Colonial Divisions. The salient had south and west faces. IV 

Corps was assigned the primary assault against the south face, driving toward Vigneulles. V 

Corps would launch a secondary attack against the west face, linking up with IV Corps. I Corps 

would move against the right shoulder of the salient to the west of IV Corps, and a French corps 

under the American high command would attack the nose of the salient. 

The overwhelming attack on 12 September proved quite successful, but it was perhaps not as 

striking as Pershing and others claimed in postwar accounts. Only about 23,000 troops guarded the 

salient, a ratio of 1 defender to 46 attackers. Recognizing that the salient was untenable, the German 

command prior to the American attack ordered its evacuation roughly to the line where the American forces intended to move-the position known as the Michel SteHung. This evacuation had hardly 

begun when the American attack took place. It had the effect of both hastening and confusing the 

withdrawal. The First Army qUickly occupied the salient, capturing 450 guns and 16,000 prisoners 

at the cost of but 7,000 casualties. This achievement freed the Paris-Avricourt railway and also provided a jumping-off point for possible operations eastward toward Metz or the Briey mining region. 

Perhaps equally important, it had favorable effects on the morale of the Allies and depressing effects 

on the enemy. 10 The easy victory at St.-Mihiel, however, obscured various failures of command and 

control that, given the inexperience of the Americans, were unavoidable problems, ones that would 

continue to afflict the First Army in subsequent operations. General Liggett of I Corps wrote later: 

"The effect on the enemy, our own, and Allied morale was all that we had hoped for. It was well, however, that in our pride we should not forget that it had been no even fight. In numbers we were overwhelming. . . . We had no need to use a great part of our force. . . ." 11 

On 3 September Marshal Foch made known the outlines of his plan for a general offensive to 

begin around the twentieth, the third basic phase of operations in 1918. Its military objectives 

were to breach the rail connections behind the Western Front in the area Cambrai-St.-QuentinMezieres and to force a general withdrawal of the German armies from France and Belgium. 

Recognizing the extreme importance of retaining these communications, the Germans had constructed fortifications known generally as the Hindenburg Line. Foch planned two main converging attacks to break through the Hindenburg Line and interdict the rail system from Aulnoye to 

Mezieres-a British attack on the west face of the great German salient and a Franco-American 

attack on the south face. Meanwhile, the French army in the center would maintain its pressure 

on the opposing forces, seeking to chase the Germans across the Aisne and Ailette Rivers, and 

the British-Belgian force in Flanders would undertake to clear portions of Belgium, including 

Lille at the northern end of the German rail communications. These latter attacks would hold 

German divisions in place, limiting Ludendorffs ability to reinforce his defenses against the 

main attacks elsewhere. The British official history aptly summarizes the situation: "Now he [the 

enemy] was attacked everywhere at once, was forced to disperse his reserves, and, although the 

Allied margin of numerical superiority was not very great, he was, in the result, nowhere strong 

enough to hold his ground." 12

26th September-ll th November, The Advance to Victory, p. iv. Pershing summarized Foch's plan of operations as follows: "The operations were to be as nearly simultaneous as possible all along the Western Front. If successful they would 

force the enemy either to disperse his reserves and weaken his defenses generally, or else concentrate his reserve power at 

what appeared to be the vital pOints, to the jeopardy of the remainder of his line. The disposition of the Belgian, British, 

French, and American armies between the North Sea and Verdun was such that they could naturally converge as they advanced. . . . [The enemy's] main line of communication ran through Carignan, Sedan and Mezieres. If that should be 

interrupted before he could withdraw his armies from France and Belgium, the communications in the narrow avenue 

xviii 
Foch's grand conception, the third phase of the campaign in 1918, was scheduled to begin 

during the last days of September. The American First Army would jump off in the MeuseArgonne sector on the twenty-sixth with the support of the French Fourth Army lined up to the 

west from the Argonne Forest to the Suippe River. A day later the British army would move in 

Picardy against the Hindenburg Line between Peronne and Lens. On the twenty-eighth the Group 

of Armies of Flanders, including British, French, and Belgian units, would move toward Lille and 

beyond. The French and British forces between La Fere and Peronne would complete the series of 

blows on the twenty-ninth. 

These operations promised great attrition on both sides. But the Allies could afford substantiallosses, given the continuing flow of Americans into France, whereas the Germans had largely 

expended their reserves during earlier operations. At this juncture no one thought of victory in 

1918; Foch sought by this great fall offensive to place his forces in position for decisive operations 

against the German homeland in 1919. 

Foch's plan assigned a major role to the American First Army, which would receive support 

on its left flank from the French Fourth Army. Successes to the west and north against the German center and right might not break the German defenses, but an advance against the German 

left would interdict resupply and reinforcement to all German formations north of Mezieres, 

about three-quarters of the total German strength, forcing a withdrawal that might stop only at 

the Rhine. 13 

Pershing's acceptance of Foch's plan for the First Army posed enormous difficulties. First, he 

must transfer his scattered divisions to the Meuse-Argonne in a very short time. Second, he must 

plan operations against strong fortifications in very difficult terrain, depending heavily on inexperienced troops. His veteran divisions, such as the 1st, the 2d, the 26th, and the 42d, had participated in the St.-Mihiel offensive and could not take part in the initial phases of the attack. 

The area between the west bank of the Meuse and the center of the Argonne Forest greatly 

benefited its defenders. The Heights of the Meuse on the right bank of that river commanded the 

land to the west, and locations in the Argonne Forest provided excellent positions for artillery and 

machine guns. Between the Meuse and the Argonne lay a series of ridges and valleys generally 

running east-west. A hogback ran northward through certain high ground, such as Montfaucon, 

CuneI, Romagne, and Barricourt Woods, offering excellent observation and protection for defenders. 1Wo defiles, running north-south along either side of the hogback, tended to channel 

attacking forces, exposing them to fire from innumerable defensive positions. 

1b strengthen themselves in this rough overgrown region, the Germans constructed four 

lines of east-west fortifications. The first line ran westward between Regneville and Vienne-IeChateau. The second, named the Giselher Stellung, lay five kilometers behind the first line. The 

greatest obstacle, however, was the principal portion of the Hindenburg Line in this area-the 

Kriemhilde Stellung-six kilometers to the north of the Giselher position. Another eight kilometers farther was the relatively undeveloped Freya Stellung. General Pershing graphically described these obstacles- "fortified strongpoints, dugouts, successive lines of trenches, and an 

unlimited number of concrete machine gun emplacements. A dense network of wire covered 

every position. With the advantage of commanding ground, the enemy was peculiarly well 10-

cated to pour oblique and flanking artillery fire on any assailant attempting to advance within 

range between the Meuse and the Argonne." 14 

1b assault this formidable bastion General Pershing, his headquarters now established at 

Souilly, placed three corps in line from left to right-I Corps, V Corps, and III Corps. I Corps 

under General Liggett included the 77th, 28th, and 35th Divisions; V Corps under General 

Cameron included the 91st, 37th, and 79th Divisions; and III Corps under Maj. Gen. Robert L. 

between the Ardennes Forest and the Dutch frontier were so limited that he would be unable adequately to supply his 

army or to evacuate them before his ruin would be accomplished." See John J. Pershing, My Experiences in the World 

War, 2 vols. (New York: Stokes Co., 1931),2:280-81. 

13 If the rail lines through Metz and Strasbourg or through the Moselle valley were cut, the German army west of 

Aulnoye·Mezieres could still receive support via Brussels and from Aix·la·Chapelle·Liege·Namur, but the loss of other 

channels would create hopeless congestion. C. R. M. F. Cruttwell, A History oJ the Great War, 2d ed. (London: Granada 

Publishing, 1982), p. 564.

xix 
Bullard included the 4th, 80th, and 33d Divisions. Of these units only four had experienced combat. The 79th and 91st Divisions had not even served in quiet sectors for training. East of the 

Meuse Pershing located the French XVII Colonial Corps and General Dickman's IV Corps. These 

organizations were ordered to lend artillery support and create diversions in the St.-Mihiel area. 

Pershing had available some 850 French and American aircraft, a force that outnumbered the 

enemy by 3 to 1. Lt. Col. George C. Patton commanded 189 light tanks. The Germans had none. 15 

The German forces opposing the Americans were part of the German Army Group von 

Gallwitz. Between the Meuse and the Argonne were five divisions, in numbers far fewer than the 

Americans. A recent historian of the battle notes that the "enemy troops were of poor quality: a 

large number were Saxons and Austro-Hungarians who were of doubtful dedication to the German cause. The enemy divisions were at one-third authorized strength." At least fifteen divisions 

in reserve could reach the area during the first three days of the battle. Of course, the strength of 

the German positions compensated in great part for numerical inferiority, and the Germans benefited from competent commanders and staffs. 16 

The Meuse-Argonne battle developed in three phases. The first phase, 26 September-3 October, began well but ended far short of the objectives established for the initial assault. The second 

phase, lasting from 4 to 31 October, turned into a wearing battle of attrition that finally brought 

the Americans to the objectives of 26 September and placed them in a position to move forward 

with the French Fourth Army on the Aulnoye-Mezieres area. From 1 November to the armistice 

on 11 November the First Army moved a considerable distance to positions along the Meuse River 

and beyond as the German army undertook a precipitate withdrawal (Map m. 

Foch established as the American objective the line Buzancy-Stonne-a movement that 

would take the First Army beyond the Hindenburg Line. This accomplishment would aid the 

French Fourth Army, which was given the task of reaching Mezieres. This purpose indicated that 

the basic role of the First Army was one of attrition-according to Pershing, "to draw the best 

German divisions to our own front and consume them." The movement of German divisions to 

the Meuse-Argonne to defend the vital eastern hinge of the German front would lessen pressure 

especially on the French Fourth Army as well as on other Allied forces. General Pershing summarized his intentions clearly: "Our thrust east of the [Argonne] forest, by threatening the left flank 

of the enemy's position in front of the French Fourth Army, on the Aisne River, would force his 

withdrawal, and the combined or successive advances of both armies would throw him back on 

the line Stenay-Le Chesne-Attigny, and eventually on Mezieres." 17 

Pershing's opening move contemplated a deep thrust of 16 kilometers, reaching the northern 

end of the Argonne Forest, to link up with the French Fourth Army at Grandpre. This attack 

would break through the first three German lines, outflanking the strong position at Montfaucon 

and breaching the main Hindenburg Line by seizing the heights of Romagne and CuneI. To isolate Montfaucon, Pershing would send one corps past its right and another past its left. A third 

corps would then seize the bypassed position, employing its artillery to silence enemy guns firing 

from the Heights of the Meuse and the Argonne Forest. The attacks to the right and left of Montfaucon would carry through the Kriemhilde Stellung, which included the strong positions of 

Romagne and CuneI, on the second day. With this drive completed, the First Army could move on 

the final German line of fortifications and link up with the French Fourth Army along the Aisne 

for the final drive on Mezieres and Sedan. 18

Pershing's ambitious plan depended on power and surprise; it must achieve its purpose 

quickly before General Max von Gallwitz could move reinforcements to the threatened locations. 

Compared to von Gallwitz' five understrength divisions, Pershing had available nine American 

divisions-each double the size of a full-strength German division-a tremendous superiority in 

manpower. But given the terrain and the enemy fortifications, this plan would have challenged 

the most battle-tested army. It was well beyond the capacity of the First Army, which did not yet 

possess efficient methods of command and control. Moreover, it lacked sound lines of supply and 

transport. Each of the three corps had only a single poor road on which to base support of its 

assault. 19 

The attack of 26 September began well but soon bogged down. Montfaucon was not captured 

until the second day, and all three corps were halted far short of the Kriemhilde Stellung. German reinforcements appeared qUickly-six new divisions by the twenty-seventh. By the twentyninth a pause was ordered, allowing the Americans to relieve tired units. The battles that lay 

ahead were extraordinarily wearing. Col. Hugh A. Drum, the chief of staff of the First Army, summarized the situation accurately: "The gaining of ground counts for little, it is the ruining of his 

[the enemy'sl army that will end the struggle." The fighting produced the result that Foch had 

intended, drawing enemy divisions to the American sector and inflicting serious attrition upon 

the enemy, but the Americans also suffered terrible casualties. The difference was that the Americans were able to recoup their losses, whereas the enemy forces lacked the ability to replace lost 

effectives. 20 

Despite the disappointment in the American sector, the British attack in Picardy on 27 September had achieved remarkable gains, penetrating deeply into the Hindenburg Line, and at the 

same time the collapse of Germany's allies-Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Thrkey-deeply affected General Ludendorff. On the twenty-ninth he realized that the German army must seek an 

armistice. This decision led almost immediately to a change of government in Germany, where 

the peace-minded Prince Max of Baden became chancellor. It also spawned bilateral discussions 

with the United States that envisioned an end to hostilities based on acceptance of a plan for 

peace negotiations in accordance with President Wilson's comprehensive enunciation of war 

aims-the Fourteen Points and certain associated pronouncements. 

The operations of the First Army from around 1 October to the end of the war developed in 

the context of an irreversible commitment on the part of the German government to end the war, 

a circumstance that greatly strengthened the morale of Foch's victorious forces and at the same 

time deeply depressed Ludendorffs command. Nevertheless, the German army fought stubbornly, and nowhere more so than in the critical fortifications on the American front. What was 

required of the Americans above all was to maintain unrelenting pressure on the enemy. The 

First Army, although hampered by its inexperience and its logistical difficulties, met this 

demand. 21 

After regrouping the First Army, General Pershing resumed the general attack intended to 

seize the main positions of the Hindenburg Line to his front. Again the advance encountered terrible artillery bombardment from both the Argonne and the Heights of the Meuse, as well as galling machine-gun fire from well-concealed positions. The First Army did not make effective use of 

tactical innovations that the British and French armies applied elsewhere, some of them copied 

from the Germans. Although General Pershing stressed open warfare, his often untrained troops 

relied mostly on unsubtle frontal assaults. Col. George C. Marshall, a member of Pershing's staff, 

noted that the Americans "gave better results when employed in a 'steamroller' operation, that is, 

when launched in an attack with distant objectives and held continuously to their task without 

rest or reorganization until unfit for further fighting." Such infantry attacks entailed many casu19 Coffman. War Th End All Wars. pp. 301-03; Smythe. Pershing. p. 194. 

20 Drum's words as quoted in Coffman. War Th End All Wars. p. 338. 

21 One authority summarizes the situation cogently: "The remainder of the war consisted of hard. straight-ahead 

fighting. the Germans trading space for time in front of the English and holding doggedly in the rugged terrain of the 

Argonne against the Americans. The German retreat in most sectors was most skillful. though the British attack achieved 

considerable success west of Le Cateau. Up to mid-October. Ludendorff handled the Situation well." See Department of 

Military Art and Engineering. United States Military Academy. comps .. The West Point Atlas of American Wars. ed. Vincent J. EspOSito. 2 vols. (New York: Praeger. 1959). vol. 2. 1990-1953. sec. 1. Map 69: World War 1.

alties. the price of tactical inadequacy when assault troops moved beyond preregistered artillery 

support. As a leading authority on the American Expeditionary Forces notes. "Some consideration for surprise and sophisticated infantry tactics-as the Germans proved in 1918-could 

reduce losses and increase the miles gained. but these changes could not overcome the casualties 

and the physical exhaustion that the infantry faced when it moved beyond the range of its 

artillery." 22 

The renewed offensive finally broke into the Hindenburg Line. although at great cost. By 10 

October the Argonne Forest was finally cleared. eliminating German artillery fire from that quarter. but the French XVII Colonial Corps had failed in its attacks (launched on the eighth) to clear 

the Heights of the Meuse east of that river. Pershing later commented that the period from 1 to 11 

October "involved the heaviest strain on the army and on me." It was difficult to relieve troops 

without presenting the enemy with opportunities to improve his defense. "The battle could not 

be delayed while roads were being built or repaired and supplies brought up." Cold and rainy 

weather "was not the kind to inspire energetic action on the part of troops unaccustomed to the 

damp. raw climate." During this period Marshal Foch. concerned about the delay in the MeuseArgonne sector. attempted to reorganize command arrangements in ways that proved unacceptable to Pershing. a source of considerable annoyance to the beleaguered American commander. 23 

On 12 October General Pershing made important changes in the American command. He 

relinquished command of the First Army to General Liggett. General Bullard took charge of the 

American Second Army. which occupied positions east of the Meuse. Pershing's role now became 

that of a commander of a group of armies. 

At long last the First Army reached the objectives it had planned to seize at the beginning of 

the battle. By 18 October the Romagne heights had been taken. and the Germans were pressed 

back to their last position, the Freya Stellung. Liggett took advantage of this victory to consolidate his position and to prepare for resumption of the offensive. On the nineteenth Marshal Foch 

issued the last of his general directives to his inter-Allied command, ordering coordinated attacks 

in Flanders. Picardy. and Champagne. and directing the French Fourth and Fifth and the American First Armies to move to the line Buzancy-Le Chesne and on to the Mezieres-Sedan region. 

While the battle in all sectors continued to favor Foch's command. political developments 

signaled a probable early end to hostilities. By 26 October President Wilson had come to an 

agreement with Prince Max of Baden; Germany agreed to negotiate a peace settlement on the 

basis of the Fourteen Points and associated pronouncements. There remained only the acceptance of the same principles by the Entente nations, who were purposefully excluded from 

Wilson's diplomatic exchanges with Prince Max. Edward M. House, Wilson's emissary, arrived in 

Paris to join pre-armistice discussions that centered on this grand political question, which lay 

within the prerogatives of civilian leadership. Meanwhile, on the twenty-fifth at Senlis. Foch held 

conversations with the various national commanders-British Field Marshal Douglas Haig. 

French General Henri Philippe Petain. and Pershing-on the separate military question of acceptable armistice terms in the field. At this moment Ludendorff was forced to resign, removing the 

most influential proponent of extreme German war aims from the army. These stirring developments heightened the spirits of the attacking armies on the Western Front and depressed those 

of the German army. now close to defeat. 

Liggett planned a general attack to begin on 1 November in response to Foch's desires. Anticipating such a movement. the German command had prepared for a withdrawal to defensive po22 For the quotations see Allan R. Millett, "Over Where? The AEF and the American Strategy for Victory, 1917-1918,"

Smythe, Pershing, pp. 203-04; Coffman, War Th End All Wars, pp. 339-40. Some time later the French Premier Georges 

Clemenceau bitterly criticized the slowness of the American advance, much to Pershing's chagrin. Clemenceau appar· 

ently wanted Foch to ask Wilson to replace Pershing. See Coffman, War Th End All Wars, p. 340. Russell Weigley recognizes the limitations of the American Expeditionary Forces but sagely observes that "the American Army displayed an 

aggreSSiveness and a confidence that no other army in Europe any longer possessed, and the victories that can be won by 

such troops may well compensate for the costs of amateurishness by hastening final triumph." See Russell F. Weigley, 

History of the United States Army, The Wars of the United States (New York: Macmillan Co., 1967), p. 393.

sitions on the line Antwerp-Meuse. The First Army, benefiting from experience, immediately 

gained the Barricourt heights and moved with the French Fourth Army forward to the Meuse. 

German troops soon began a withdrawal that continued until the end of the war. The FrancoAmerican forces no longer encountered serious resistance as they moved toward the MezieresSedan region. The armistice took effect on 11 November. 

The most recent historian of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, Paul F. Braim, differs from prevailing interpretations of the American operations in the Meuse-Argonne sector, arguing that 

General Pershing made serious miscalculations. He believes that the First Army attacked in an 

unduly narrow zone, given the difficulties imposed by the terrain. Pershing ought to have included the entire Argonne Forest in the American sector or have excluded it entirely. Moreover, 

he should have attacked the Heights of the Meuse or bypassed them in order to preclude their use 

for observation and artillery emplacements. 24 He is especially concerned with various operational 

problems. Artillery performance was poor; units failed to maintain communications after attacks 

began; small-unit commanders opted for frontal assaults rather than maneuver; insufficient attention was given to the supply of front-line units; commanders proved unable to make effective 

use of reserves; available tactical opportunities were ignored, such as night attack; and unsound 

tactical doctrine led to ineffective training. Fortunately, the elan of the army compensated for 

much of its professional inexperience. Furthermore, the most important requirement was to sustain the attack, drawing German reserves to the Meuse-Argonne sector and contributing to the 

exhaustion of the enemy. In this critical respect the American Expeditionary Forces served well 

despite critical errors. 25 

The process that produced the terms of the armistice imposed upon Germany in effect began 

with Marshal Foch's Senlis talks with Petain, Haig, and Pershing on a prospective end to hostilities. The frustrated Pershing, smarting because of the unexpected difficulties that his troops had 

encountered in the final offensive, sought redemption through further operations leading to unconditional surrender, but Haig favored relatively moderate terms. Foch took a middle position, 

holding that the armistice must prevent Germany from renewing hostilities in the future, something attainable by imposing demands that fell short of unconditional surrender but were more 

crippling than Haig thought necessary. Pershing's views were out of step with those of President 

Wilson, who preferred an armistice that would preclude resumption of hostilities but otherwise 

avoid extreme requirements. The generalissimo's views ultimately prevailed. Meanwhile, at the 

pre-armistice discussions under way in Paris, Wilson's emissary forced the unwilling leaders of 

the Entente to accept the president's Fourteen Points and associated pronouncements as the 

political basis of the postwar peace settlement. 26 

President Wilson's diplomatic success in Paris faithfully reflected the significance of the 

American intervention in World War I. Although the American Expeditionary Forces entered the 

battle only in the very last stages and did not perform as well as Pershing had expected, no one 

could deny that its appearance in France, along with the German losses incurred during the 

24 Braim, 'lest of Battle. pp. 152-53. The author's observations on the AEF's deficiencies are noted throughout his 

discussion of the Meuse-Argonne offensive. 

25 In forty-seven days of the Meuse-Argonne offensive 1.2 million Americans took part. 850,000 in combat roles as 

members of twenty-two divisions. Over 4 million artillery shells were fired from 2,417 pieces. There were 4,480 American 

prisoners of war against 16,059 enemy prisoners of war. See Braim, 'lest of Battle, pp. 144-45. When the American attack 

began von Gallwitz had sixteen German divisions in the area. Between 26 September and 11 November thirty-four other 

divisions moved in and fifteen moved out. For much of the time the defending forces relied on about ten to fifteen more 

divisions than did the Americans, but these units, often of poor quality, were seriously understrength and unable to replace losses. The American divisions were at least double the size of German divisions, although the Americans also 

experienced difficulties in obtaining replacements. The First Army always enjoyed a preponderance in rifle strength. Of 

course, defenders require less rifle strength than attackers, an advantage that is maximized when in unusually strong 

positions, such as those in the Meuse-Argonne sectOl;.

Ludendorff offensive. had given the margin of superiority that Foch needed to conduct his successful counterattacks during the last four months of the struggle. Pershing did not strike the final. 

decisive blow that had been intended. but it made little political difference. At war's end neither the 

Central Powers nor the Allies were able to prevent the United States from committing all the 

belligerents to the negotiation of a peace settlement based on American wishes. The irony was that 

the American people ultimately proved unwilling to support the political settlement for which AEF 

troops had fought in 1918. 27 

The history of the American Expeditionary Forces. largely forgotten. remains an imposing 

element in the nation's military past. Over 2 million troops were transported to France. of whom 

l.39 million served at the front. Of forty-two divisions active in the zone of operations. twenty-nine 

experienced combat. Eventually the Americans held about 160 kilometers of the Western Front. 

about 23 percent of the line in October-November 1918. The arrival of AEF units converted manpower superiority of 324.000 for the Germans on 1 April to an eventual edge of 600.000 for the 

Allies at the end of the war. American losses were 50.280 killed and 205.690 wounded. Americans 

should remember. however. that the Allies suffered nearly 7.5 million casualties in all theaters 

between August 1914 and November 1918. AEF units did not fight alone but as part ofagreatinterAllied force. and all of the components of that juggernaut made signal contributions to the triumph 

of November 1918. 28 

As time passes future historians will surely interpret the events of World War I differently than 

those who first undertook the task just after the war and those who have revised the initial version 

in more recent years. The published records of the American Expeditionary Forces will continue to 

provide an accessible and authoritative body of essential evidence in support of these further 

investigations of the American role in "the war to end all wars." For this reason the reprinting of the 

United States Army in the World War. 1917-1919. beginning in 1988 with the first volume. not 

only commemorates the seventieth anniversary of those years but contributes to the ongoing 

search for the best possible understanding of the great conflagration that inaugurated this extraordinarily violent century.

27 The performance of the American army was certain to be less than optimal during early engagements because it 

was committed before it was fully prepared for action. Moreover. no amount of preparation substituted for experience in 

battle. Although the gains of 1-11 November 1918 in the Meuse·Argonne sector stemmed in part from the discouragement of the enemy. they also reflected the accumulation of valuable combat experience in the American Expeditionary 

Forces. As in many other instances the American army encountered adversity in its first battles because the exigencies of 

time did not permit full compensation for prewar unpreparedness prior to the commitment of American troops. For examples see Heller and Stofft, eds., America's First Battles, 1776-1965. 

28 The American Expeditionary Forces took part in the postwar administration of the armistice terms and the occupation of parts of Germany, events covered in vols. 10-11. For extensive statistical information see Leonard P. Ayres, The 

War With Germany: A Statistical Summary (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1919).

PREFACE 

This series of volumes presents a widely representative selection of the records of the 

American Expeditionary Forces in World War I believed to be essential to a critical study 

of the history of that war. 

The authority for the present compilation is a letter dated 30 October 1939, in which 

the War Department directed the Historical Section, Army War College: "Th make research, 

collect, examine, arrange, index, collate, and prepare for publication such data from the 

official records of the War Department and other official agencies as will, when properly 

collated, provide the material for complete and accurate accounts of the participation of 

the military forces of the United States in the World War." Subsequent War Department 

instructions limited the project to "Operations Overseas." 

Early in 1946, the Historical Section of the Army War College was transferred to and 

became a part of the Historical Division, Special Staff, USA, in which it has brought to 

completion its previously assigned duties. 

During the twenty years from 1919 to 1939, the Historical Section, Army War College, was 

engaged in collecting and examining records, both American and foreign. During the first ten 

years a number of monographs were written. After 1929, when this activity was terminated, an 

elaborate project was undertaken, first to index the tactical and technical information contained 

in the records, and second, to catalogue selected individual documents. Some 120,000 catalogue 

cards were made which greatly facilitated the final selection of documents for publication herein. 

The selection and editing of documents now published has been governed by the following objectives: 

1. Th orient the reader by providing a summary narrative of events. 

2. To show the evolution of General Pershing's plan for the organization of the American 

Expeditionary Force. This volume, the first, also reprints representative Thbles of Organization 

implementing the organization project. 

3. Th present the policies formulated for interior administration of the American 

Expeditionary Forces and for functioning with the French and British. 

4. Th depict training with the British and the French by means of documents pertaining 

to American divisions whose experience typifies that of others not mentioned. In so doing, an 

effort is made to cover training of troops from all parts of the United States, including representative organizations of the Regular Army, National Guard, and the National Army. 

5. To cover combat operations of the American Expeditionary Forces as thoroughly 

as possible, without submerging the student in a mass of relatively inconsequential documents; and, at the same time, preserving reasonable proportions of documentation as between 

operations in which United States forces played a minor part and those in which they played 

a major role. The documents presented are from American, French, Italian, British, and 

German sources. Where only a few American troops were involved in operations under French 

or British commanders, foreign records are extenSively used to supplement American records. 

Much needless repetition was aVOided in selecting documents from American and foreign 

sources by starting with the records of the highest headquarters concerned. 

6. To illustrate the steps leading to the signing of the Armistice and how its 

provisions were applied through the Permanent Interallied Armistice Commission. 

7. To account for post-Armistic activities until July 2, 1919, when the American 

Third Army ceased to function and duties incident to military occupation of the Rhineland 

were taken over by the American Forces in Germany. This volume includes also a group of 

[I] 

xxix 
translations of selected German documents to show how enemy plans were disrupted by 

American entry into the war. 

8. Th reproduce the more significant portions of documents included in the final 

report of the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces. These documents, 

covering a wide range of subject matter, afford a wealth of information without which the 

combat operations would seem to be isolated and rather incomprehensible episodes. 

9. Th furnish, as standard reference material, complete sets of General Orders 

and Bulletins issued by General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces. 

Numerous terrain and battle photographs have been inserted, free use being made of the 

splendid collection of terrain pictures assembled by the American Battle Monuments 

Commission. Maps and sketches, drawn in this office, are interspersed among the documents 

reproduced. The majority of them are comprehensive and illustrate the military situation 

or the order of battle, frequently both at the time, during given periods, with particular 

emphasis on American participation. Charts are used to facilitate visualization of 

special command or administrative arrangements. In some instances, contemporaneous operational maps are reproduced, in whole or in part, to make understandable the various combat 

orders issued. At one time, an atlas was planned to accompany World War I records in order 

to provide thorough topographical coverage for the military operations. This project has 

been eliminated in favor of a tentative plan to publish a combined atlas to cover the 

terrain of World War I and World War II. 

The intention has been to make the documents tell the story. The compilers have 

striven to evaluate all information and to establish the facts. Then those documents 

(or excerpts) which best stated those facts were chosen for publication. In cases of 

conflicting evidence where the truth was difficult to discern, records that show the conflict have been presented. Editorial or explanatory comments are supplied in such 

instances. 

It is hoped that this compilation will serve a useful purpose as a guide to the 

records of the American Expeditionary Forces and as a reliable and reasonably full compilation of information of American Expeditionary Forces operations and problems for teachers 

and students of military history who wish considerable detail. 

Th assist the student who desires to pursue research in a given subject beyond the 

documents in this publication, frequent references are given throughout to further 

documentary material available in the National Archives in Washington, D. C.

NARRATNE ACCOUNT OF THE AEF'S 

PARTICIPATION IN MAJOR OPERATIONS 

To introduce the reader to the series of compilations, there are presented herewith some 

of the highlights obtained from a study of the records, principally from official records pertaining to the organization, training, and combat operations of the AEF. 

- 1 -

Preliminary Plans and Movements 

Major General John J. Pershing assumed his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the 

American Expeditionary Forces on May 26. 1917. under instructions from Secretary of War 

Newton D. Baker which read in part as follows: 

In military operations against the Imperial German Government you are directed to 

cooperate with the forces of the other countries employed against the enemy; but in so 

doing the underlying idea must be kept in view that the forces of the United States 

are a separate and distinct component of the combined forces. the identity of which 

must be preserved. This fundamental rule is subject to such minor exceptions in 

particular circumstances as your judgment may approve. The decision as to when your 

command or any of its parts is ready for action is confided to you. and you will 

exercise full discretion in determining the manner of cooperation. But until the 

forces of the United States are. in your judgment. sufficiently strong to warrant 

operations as an independent command, it is understood that you will cooperate as a 

component of whatever army you may be assigned to by the French Government. 

Despite heavy pressure brought to bear on General Pershing in Europe. and upon 

President Wilson and Secretary Baker in Washington by the French and British Governments. 

for modification of the far-Sighted policy above stated, this policy remained firm 

throughout the war. Although General Pershing encountered many difficulties and delays. he 

held tenaciously to the spirit of his instructions and eventually succeeded in carrying 

them out. 

American participation in major operations on the Western Front developed slowly from 

a trickle in 1917 to a mighty flow of offenSive power in the last two months of the war in 

1918. American units helped to stop the final German assaults on the Western Front in the 

spring and summer of 1918; however. it was not until after General Pershing had at last 

managed to create the American First Army. in August 1918. that a large number of our 

troops were united into a distinctively American force fighting under American commanders 

in decisive. large-scale operations. 

The primary factors affecting the employment of American troops on the Western Front 

in 1917 and 1918 were: 

a. Lack of fully organized American divisions. corps. or armies. when the United 

States entered the war. 

b. The desire of the French and British to use Americans as individuals. companies. 

battalions. or regiments. in their units and under French or British commanders. to 

replace losses and to maintain their depleted combat divisions at full strength in 1918. as 

the quickest way to make American help effective. 

c. American desires to integrate the AEF into one or more American armies. with 

appropriate corps. army. and supply troops. to operate under American commanders. side by 

side with the French and British armies. 

d. Shipping that could be made available to transport American troops and supplies. 

e. NeceSsity for procuring much vital equipment. such as artillery. tanks, and aircraft. in Europe. 

f. Urgent necessity to complete the training of newly organized American units so as 

to have them ready to help repulse the German offenSives expected on the Western Front in 

1918. 

g. Availability of certain French ports. railways. training areas. and combat zones 

suitable for large-scale operations by American troops. 

- 3 -
General Pershing, accompanied by a small staff, left the United States on May 28. 

1917, and proceeded via London to Paris. He established his headquarters in Paris, and 

began to make plans for the organization, movement overseas. location. maintenance. and 

employment of the American Expeditionary Forces. which he visualized as eventually numbering several million men. 

In selecting a region suitable for the development and employment of a large American 

force. it was necessary to consider many factors. The British. in order to guard the 

channel ports essential to their lines of communication. were committed to operations in 

Flanders. Artois. and Picardy. The French were most concerned over that portion of the 

front protecting Paris. However. that part of France southeast of Verdun could be supplied 

by railway lines not already overtaxed by military traffic. from well-equipped ports on 

France's southwestern Atlantic seaboard. These main railway lines traversed districts 

wherein suitable sites were available for the establishment of base hospitals. supply

tt:Oops. the region of N eufchateau ---N ancy---Epinal met with common approval. By July 1. 

1917. General Pershing had reached an agreement with the French authorities on these 

matters. subject to changes that might arise in the military situation. In fact. many 

changes did arise. 

Shortly after General Pershing arrived in France. he submitted to the War Department 

his recommendations on organization and supply of the AEF. These recommendations were in 

the form of specific projects - the general organization project. service of the rear 

project. the tank project. and the schedule of priority of shipments. General Pershing's 

estimate of the situation is indicated by a cablegram that he sent to Washington on July 6. 

in part as follows: 

Plans should contemplate sending over at least 1.000.000 men by next May .... Inasmuch as question affects all Allies whose common interests demand that we exert 

maximum military power consistent with transport problem. suggest early agreement be 

reached among Allies which would provide requisite transportation. 

Commenting on this situation later. General Pershing said: 

The question, in its finality. was. therefore, one of sea transportation; but so 

far all efforts to get the Allies. espeCially the British. to consider giving help to 

bring over men and supplies had been futile. They did not seem to realize that 

America would be practically negligible from a military standpoint unless the Allies 

could provide some shipping. Nor did they seem to appreciate that time was a vital 

factor. But the spirit of full cooperation among the Allies did not then exist. 

They seemed to regard the transportation of an American army overseas as entirely our 

affair. This apparent indifference also gave further color to the suspicion that 

perhaps an American army as such was not wanted. * 

The General Organization Project. approved by General Pershing July 11. 1917. was a 

definite plan for the creation of an American army. It was the product of a joint study 

made by a War Department Military Mission headed by Colonel Chauncey Baker and officers of 

General Pershing's staff. The report of the Baker Board and the General Organization 

Project as submitted to the War Department on July 11. 1917. are published in full in the 

following compilation of documents. The General Organization Proj ect provided for the 

organization of army headquarters; army troops; corps headquarters; corps troops; and 

combat. depot. and replacement divisions. American divisional strength was double that of 

the French. British. or German. In preparing this proj ect. the purpose was to organize a 

balanced force complete in all weapons and services essential to modern warfare. An army

- 4 -
of 1.000.000 men was the smallest unit filling these conditions. The project included the 

following statement: 

Plans for the future should be based. especially in reference to the manufacture 

of artillery. aviation and other material. on three times this force. 1. e .• at 

least 3.000.000 men. Such a program of construction should be completed within two 

years. 

The service of the rear project and the tank project included plans for the organization of aviation. engineer. signal. medical. ordnance. quartermaster. and tank troops to 

complete the formation of an army of thirty divisions. and to perform service of supply 

duties required to maintain a force of this size. 

The schedule of priority of shipments specified the sequence of shipment from the 

United States of the troops included in the previously mentioned projects. This schedule 

divided into six phases the total force planned for the AEF by the several organization 

projects. Each of the first five phases called for a combat army corps of six divisions. 

together with appropriate corps troops. Scattered throughout the first five phases. and 

particularly in the sixth phase. were army troops and the troops provided for in the 

service of the rear and in the tank projects to build up and maintain a well-balanced and 

self-sustaining American army. 

American Expeditionary Forces 

July 1, 1917-March 21, 1918 

These projects. after approval by the War Department. constituted the initial military 

program for the American Expeditionary Forces. a program sometimes referred to as the 

Thirty-Division Plan. which contemplated the arrival of 1.328.448 men in France by 

December 31. 1918. Reference will be made later to the Eighty-Division Plan. approved 

July 23. 1918. 

While these plans were in the making. American troops began to move overseas. The 

Regular Army units that were to constitute the 1st Division began embarking for overseas on 

June 14. 1917. By December 22. the last of these units arrived in France. where the division was actually organized. 

General Pershing gives the following account of the first appearance of American combat troops in Parts. on July 4. 1917. in a ceremony arranged by the French in honor of our 

Independence Day. when a battalion of the 16th Infantry Regiment of our 1st Division was 

brought thither from St -N azaire for the occasion. 

The first appearance of American combat troops in Paris brought forthjoyful 

acclaim from the people. On the march to Lafayette's tomb at Picpus Cemetery the 

battalion was jOined by a great crowd, many women forcing their way into the ranks and 

swinging along arm in arm with the men. With wreaths about their necks and bouquets 

in their hats and rifles. the column looked like a moving flower garden. With only a 

semblance of military formation. the animated throng pushed its way through avenues of 

people to the martial strains of the French band and the still more thrilling music of 

cheering voices. . . . The humbler folk of Paris seemed to look upon these few 

hundred of our stalwart fighting men as their real deliverance. Many people dropped 

on their knees in reverence as the column went by. These stirring scenes conveyed 

vividly the emotions of a people to whom the outcome of the war had seemed all but 

hopeless.· 

*My Experiences in the World War, Vol. I, p. 92 - Pershing.

Our 2d Division was made up of Regular Army units and a brigade ofD. S. Marines. 

Like the 1st Division. the 2d Division completed its organization in France. Following 

closely after the 2d came the 26th Division. composed of National Guard units and a small 

quota of National Army personnel from the New England States; then the 42d Division. containing National Guard units from twenty-six states and from the District of Columbia; and. 

shortly afterwards. the 41st Division. composed of National Guard units from nine western 

states and from the District of Columbia. 

The Needfor Vigorous Leadership 

Even at this early date. General Pershing was much concerned to secure the most 

vigorous and intelligent leadership possible for the AEF troops. On Jply 28. 1917. he 

cabled the following recommendations. the first of several increasingly emphatic messages 

on this subj ect. to the Secretary of War: * 

My observation of British and French armies and most exacting arduous service 

conditions at the front fully convinces me that only officers in full mental and 

physical vigor should be sent here. . . . General officers must undergo extreme 

effort in personal supervision of operations in trenches. Very few British or French 

division commanders over forty-five or brigadiers over forty. We have too much at 

stake to risk inefficiency through mental or physical defects. . . . 

After the war. General Pershing stated: 

Generally speaking the policy of the War Department from the beginning to the end 

of the war seemed to be to appoint officers to the higher grades according to 

seniority with the intention of weeding out the inefficient later on. It was not a 

sound policy and it caused no end of trouble in France. because after the appointment 

of such officers it was a slow process to eliminate them. 

In a personal and confidentlalletter to the Secretary of War. on October 4. 1917. 

General Pershing wrote: 

I fear that we have some general officers who have neither the experience. the 

energy. nor the aggressive spirit to prepare their units or to handle them under 

battle conditions as they exist today. Both the British and French higher officers 

emphasize in the strongest terms the necessity of assigning younger and more active 

and more impressionable men to command brigades and divisions. We would commit a 

grave error if we fail to profit by their experience. * * * our soldiers deserve the 

best leaders we can give them. * * * General officers must be fitted physically and 

mentally. must have experience and must have the go and initiative if they are to fill 

positions fraught with such momentous consequences to the nation. * * * There are so 

many active. energetic. able men for selection that I strongly recommend that no 

general officers who are in any way physically inactive or unsound be sent here to 

command units. ** 

Early in November. the Secretary of War replied: 

Every effort will be made to send you suitable division commanders. * * * you 

will be thoroughly supported in the relief of any officers you care to relieve. ***

Cambrai 

November 20-December 4, 1917 

The first major action in which American troops participated was the Cambrai operation. The American units engaged therein---three engineer regiments---had not been 

especially trained for combat. 

Late in August. 1917. the British had begun preparations for a possible offensive in 

the Cambrai area. As an aftermath of the Italian disaster at Caporetto. October 24/25. 

1917. in which Italy lost all its previous gains. together with about 300.000 men. 3.000 

guns. and immense quantities of stores. it was deemed desirable to push the Cambrai operation in order to reduce German pressure on the Italian front. The British Third Army. 

under General Byng. was chosen to make the attack at Cambrai. 

Six British infantIy divisions. led by 378 heavy tanks and supported by three cavalry 

divisions. were to smash through the enemy's Siegfried Line. For the first time in the war. 

conditions seemed most favorable for massed tanks to exploit their newly developed power. 

Opposite the army of General Byng was General von der MalWitz with the German Second 

Army. Three German divisions held the front upon which the British attack was to be 

delivered. Wholly unlmown to the British. a fourth German division. recently transferred 

from the Russian front. was just arriving in the threatened area. 

At 6:20 a. m .. November 20. 1917. the British launched their attack. Into the fog 

and mist crept the successive lines of tanks. followed by the infantIy. Together they 

quickly overran the first and second German pOSitions. for an initial advance of three to 

four and a half miles. Then the unexpected resistance of German reinforcements. shown by 

the increasing vigor of their counterattacks, began to tell. By the evening of November 

21, the British had gained considerable ground; but the Germans still held essential 

strong pOints such as the Bois-de-Bourlon. The opportunity for a great success was gone. 

A breakthrough was now out of the question; the Germans had recovered from the shock of 

surprise and were pouring troops into the endangered area. On November 30, the Germans 

counterattacked in force and recaptured most of the ground that the British had won. 

The American troops involved played a minor and impromptu part in the battle. For 

three months before the operation, three American engineer regiments had been constructing 

railroads in the vicinity of Cambrai. On November 30, when the German counteroffensive 

began on the southern face of the Cambrai salient, the 11th Engineer Regiment came under 

fire in the villages of Fins and Gouzeaucourt. The American groups in Fins joined the 

British 20th Division and served with it to the end of the operation. The 12th Railway 

Engineer Regiment delivered ammunition to British artillery. The 14th Railway Engineer 

Regiment operated light railways in the area of the British VI Corps and delivered ammunition to front line units. Marshal Haig, in his "Despatches," characterized the work of 

these American regiments as "prompt and valuable assistance." 

Organization and Training 

In the months that elapsed before American units again participated in a major operation on the Western Front, General Pershing continued his efforts to organize, train, and 

equip his troops. By December 31, 1917, parts of five divisions destined for assignment 

to the American I Corps had reached France. Of the 183,000 American troops in Europe at 

that time. only one of our combat divisions, the 1st, had appeared in the front lines. Its 

units had begun training with a French division in a quiet sector in October. No American 

division had taken over complete control of a divisional sector, and no American corps 

headquarters had as yet been formed. 

Towards the end of 1917, eight months after the United States had entered the war, the 

Allies began to show disappointment over the lack of American combat divisions at the 

front. The French and British shortage of men had become more acute as a result of 

- 7 -
assistance to Italy after the Caporetto disaster. Five British and six French divisions 

had been sent to Italy to save the situation there. Moreover. it was obvious that the 

collapse of Russia would release additional Gennan divisions for use on the Western Front. 

These new conditions led to increased Allied insistence on immediate American aid in manpower. Both the French and British urged the incorporation of American infantry companies. 

battalions. or regiments in the French and British armies. They anticipated Gennan 

offensives which threatened a decision against them before America could make its strength 

felt on the battlefront. 

On December 25. 1917. General Pershing received the following cablegram from Secretary Baker: 

* 

Both British and French pressing upon President their desires to have your 

forces amalgamated with theirs by regiments and companies and both express belief in 

impending heavy drive by Gennans somewhere along lines of Western Front. 

We do not desire loss of identity of our forces. but regard that as secondary to 

meeting of any critical situation by the most helpful use possible. of the troops at 

your command. 

* * * * * * * * * 

The President desires * * * you to have full authority to use the forces at your 

command as you deem wise in consultation with the French and British Commanders-inChief. 

In answer to this message General Pershing cabled on January 8. 1918: 

Have expressed a willingness to aid in any way in an emergency. but do not think 

good reason yet exists for us to break up our divisions and scatter regiments for 

service among French and British especially under the guise of instruction. * * * 

Every endeavor will be made to arrive at satisfactory agreement consistent with the 

maintenance of our own national military identity. 

Those who desire to follow in detail the negotiations between General Pershing, on 

the one hand. and the French and British authorities on the other. are referred to the documents published in this series under "Relations with Allies," "Policy-Forming Docwnents," 

''1)-aining and Use of American Units with the British," and "Training and Use of American 

Units with the French." Throughout these negotiations. President Wilson and Secretary 

Baker supported General Pershing wholeheartedly: and. without exception. accepted as final 

his decisions on the training and employment of the American troops in the AEF. The records show that General Pershing devoted much time, thought. and effort to maintaining the 

integrity of American combat units. While thus engaged he furthered. by all possible means. 

the organization of the higher commands that would be necessary in the American army which 

he was determined to fonn. 

Early in 1918. General Pershing took important steps towards fonnation of the 

American First Army. On January 20. Major General Hunter Liggett was deSignated as 

Commander of the I Corps. for which organization of corps headquarters and staff had been 

initiated on January 15. By March 21. when the Gennan offensive along the Somme began. 

five divisions destined for the I Corps had arrived in France and a sixth division was 

then arriving. Four of these were combat divisions (lst. 2d. 26th and 42d). which had received front-line combat training. The 41st. a depot division. and the 32d. then designated as a replacement division. were scattered in rear areas. The I Corps Artillery was 

being organized and trained at Souge. Other I Corps troops. except small signal and medical contingents. had not yet arrived in France. 

On February 20. 1918. Lieutenant Colonel George S. Simonds was deSignated Chief of 

Staff of the II Corps. which was to consist of six divisions selected for training with the 

British. The Original Six-Division plan was later modified. so that ten divisions (4th. 27th. 

28th. 30th. 33d. 35th. 77th. 78th. 80th. and 82d) were actually designated for such training. Details regarding these will be found in the documents under "Training and Use of 

- 8 -
American Units with the British." By March 21, preparations were in progress to receive 

these divisions, none of which, at that time, had arrived overseas. 

Despite our utmost efforts, the plans made in 1917 for building up a well-balanced and 

self-sufficient American force were developing but slowly. The record of what was being 

accomplished in the AEF will be found in General Pershing's final report, and in the final 

reports of his prinCipal staff officers, published in this series. No adequate knowledge 

of the problems confronting the AEF can be had without a thorough study of these comprehensive reports. 

A letter from General Pershing to the Secretruy of War, dated Februruy 24, 1918, gave 

a resume of the situation, in part as follows:· 

I hope this letter will reach you before you start for Europe, as I am sending a 

brief outline of the work that has been accomplished here by the various departments: 

• • • The prospective early increase in the number of vessels available for transport 

and the consequent large increase in cargo and personnel will require increased accommodations without delay. •• * Material and labor for these purposes are very much 

behind or we should have been in better shape. We must now push port work to the utmost. * •• Both ports and railways, however, should go along together. 

Since my last letter on the subject of training and service of our units with the 

French and British armies, there has been much discussion, with the fmal result as 

cabled you. I think both the British and French now fully understand that we must 

look forward to the upbuilding of a distinctly American force instead of feeding our 

units into their organizations. 

As to the last item above-mentioned, documents published in this series under 

"Policy-Fonning Documents," ''Training and Use oj American Units with the British," and 

''Training and Use oj American Units with the French," show that General Pershing was too 

optimistic at that time on this matter. 

Difficulties encountered in following the approved priority for the transportation of 

troops had proved so fOrmidable that shipments were seriously behind schedule. In all, by 

March 21, 1918, there had arrived overseas some 297,000 men, of whom about 168,000 were 

combat troops and 129,000 were in the varied services required behind the fighting zone. 

About the middle of March, General Pershing notified the War Department that shortages of 

Services of Supply troops and material were rendering port facilities inadequate to handle 

incoming troops and supplies. Combat troops scheduled for phase three were beginning to 

land before corps, army, and SOS troops of phases one and two had arrived. As a result of 

General Pershing's urgent recommendations, the War Department gave assurance that future 

shipments, for all phases, would be in better order. 

An entry in General Pershing's diary, dated March 17, 1918, records an event which had 

an important influence on the eventual success of the AEF. The entry was brief but pithy: 

This has been a busy week. Early Monday morning I met the Secretruy of War [Mr. 

Newton D. Baker] upon his arrival in Paris. * * * The Ambassador [Mr. Wm. G. Sharp] 

gave a dinner for the Secretruy on Tuesday evening, after which we left by rail to 

visit the Services of Supply. Returned today, having inspected our most important 

ports, depots, hospitals, regulating stations, aviation centers, motor parks and 

schools. 

General Pershing considered it essential that the Secretruy of War be given every opportUnity to inspect the whole AEF system, from the SOS to the trenches, to obtain first-hand 

information, which Mr. Baker was eager to get. 

• My Experiences in the World War. Vol. I. p. 330 - Pershing. 

- 9 -
By the time Mr. Baker returned to GHQ, AEF, at Chaumont, on March 17, 1918, he had 

been given a broad view of the problems involved in handling the supplies required for an 

American army of 2.000.000 men or more. Subsequently, Mr. Baker visited various parts of 

the front line then held by American troops, and upon his return to GHQ, AEF, expressed his 

appreciation of the complexities of the problems that General Pershing had to solve. His 

visit to France bore fruit in many later decisions, based on his intimate personal knowledge of facts. It was most fortunate that our capable Secretary of War was in France, 

where General Pershing could confer with him in person, when the Germans launched the first 

of their 1918 offenSives. 

Prior to March 1918, shortage of ships and demands or objections from the Allies had 

delayed the formation in France of a distinctively American combat force. A new delaying 

factor, German offensives on the Western Front, now made itself felt. March 21 marked the 

beginning of the series of powerful attacks by which the Germans sought to win the war in 

1918. 

The German Offensive 

March - April, 1918 

There were five German offensives on the Western Front in 1918, as follows: 

Somme 

Lys 

Aisne 

Montdidier-N oyon 

Champagne-Marne 

March 21-April6 

April 9-27 

May 27-June 5 

June 9-13 

July 15-18. 

The first of these attacks. on a battle front of some fifty-five miles between the 

Scarpe and Oise Rivers, involved practically the entire British Third and Fifth Armies, as 

well as the extreme left of the French. Before they were stopped. the Germans had thrust a 

salient nearly forty miles deep into the Allied lines, and had all but succeeded in splitting the French and British armies asunder. 

The Somme Defensive 

March 21-ApriI6, 1918 

From November 1, 1917, to the middle of March, 1918, as rapidly as railway facilities 

permitted, the Germans transferred their division from east to west. From the Russian, 

Roumanian. and Italian fronts they moved forty-two divisions to the Western Front in anticipation of their 1918 spring offensives. While these divisions were being concentrated, 

detailed plans for the 1918 German campaigns were being prepared. Their ultimate objectives were to separate the French and British armies, throw the British back against the 

Channel ports, and win the war before the American effort could change the balance of 

forces. At this time there was no supreme Allied commander on the Western Front. 

The Germans would have preferred to defer their Somme offenSive. Later, the weather 

would have been more favorable, and more German troops would have been available; however, 

the rapid growth of the American forces in France forced premature action. 

Even with Russia out of the war, the Germans felt that they could not concentrate on the 

Western Front the numerical superiority, at least two to one, which experience had taught 

as necessary for a successful offenSive. By moving to northern France every man who could 

be spared from other fronts, they could have in readiness, by the 20th of March, 192 divisions. Opposing them would be apprOximately 180 Allied divisions. 

To compensate for inadequate numbers, the Germans sought to build up superiority in 

training, in mobility, in tactics, and in ability to achieve surprise. The new training 

instructions issued by the German High Command discarded infantry mass formations, provided 

- 10-
for more liberal use of machine guns, and emphasized individual initiative and leadership 

in the lower units. They stressed the importance of terrain, of closer cooperation 

between infantIy and artillery, of local flanking movements to speed the advance, and of 

exerting maximum pressure where progress was least opposed. 

By the middle of March, practically every German unit on the Western Front was 

prepared to take its part in the forthcoming operation. Some were detailed for active 

partiCipation in the main thrust; others were deSignated for auxiliary operations. feints. 

or demonstrations intended to deceive the Allies as to the actual point of attack. or to 

immobilize Allied reserves. Until the last possible moment, the Germans kept their 

reserves fairly well distributed along the front. knowing that their well-placed railway 

net would enable them to shift these troops rapidly and secretly. 

So successful were the German security measures that even on March 21 the French still 

feared a main attack in the Champagne region. The British reached the conclusion on 

March 19 that the Somme front was imperiled; but it was then too late to complete the movement of their reserves before the enemy attacked. 

The German High Command planned to deliver the main thrust north of the Somme with the 

Anny Group of Crown Prince Rupprecht. At the same time, the Anny Group of the German Crown 

Prince was to assist Rupprecht's progress on the south. 

At 5:00 a. m., March 21, the attack began. The German SeventeenthAnny, delivering 

the northern attack. made little progress on the first day. The German Second Anny. in the 

center and south of the Seventeenth, did somewhat better. The German Eighteenth Anny. on 

the southern flank. advanced three and a half miles, to the west of St-Quentln. on the 

southern flank and thus made the greatest gain of the day. This success. near the weak 

joint between the British and French armies. was so alarming that it caused General Petain 

that night to order the French V Corps towards Noyon to aid the British Fifth Anny. 

On the second day of the attack. the German Seventeenth Anny was still behind its 

schedule. and the Second was correspondingly delayed; but the Eighteenth continued to gain 

and. at some points on its front, advanced a total of nine miles from its original line of 

departure. 

The attack of the Eighteenth Anny had succeeded beyond expectations. It now appeared 

practicable to take Amiens. the capture of which. through control of the railway center 

there. would definitely isolate the British. Consequently. on the forenoon of March 23. 

German headquarters gave the Eighteenth Anny the new mission of separating the British 

forces from those of the French. The full weight of its attack was launched quickly against 

the already badly mauled British Fifth Anny. That day the Germans reached the Somme and 

forced a crossing at Ham. Three days later. on March 26. they drove a wedge into the 

opposing lines. west of Roye between the British and French armies. 

Success was within their grasp. Though fully aware of the importance of the gap, the 

Germans failed to make the most of it. Remnants of battered British units surged into the 

breach and held on until French divisions, coming up from the south. joined hands with 

them and plugged the hole. 

The first phase of the battle ended on March 28. 1918. On that day the Germans 

attacked heavily on both sides of the Scarpe River towards Arras. The British repulsed 

these attacks with great loss to the enemy. Mter a week of incessant and desperate fighting. the Allied line was bent but not broken. The Germans were still twelve miles away 

from the great railway center at Amiens. Their progress across the shell-pitted. 

devastated area of the Somme battlefield of 1916 had become so difficult that they were 

forced to pause from sheer exhaustion. 

In spite of the decided check to their advance. the Germans were unwilling to 

acknowledge failure. On the 30th of March. the German Eighteenth Anny again attacked 

between Montdidier and Noyon. On April 4 their Second Anny. in conjunction with the right 

wing of the Eighteenth. made a determined assault against the line of the Ancre from Albert 

to south of the Somme. On April 6 they attacked south of the Oise. These and other lesser 

efforts. early in April. marked the end of their 1918 Somme offensive. Although they had 

- 11 -
done much damage. they had failed to inflict any vital injury upon the Allies. 

Physically and morally. the effect of this German offensive was far-reaching. A part 

of the British army had been severely shaken; forty-six British divisions had been engaged 

and worn down. The British and French had lost close to 200.000 men. The depth of the 

German penetration. the large area that passed into their hands. the great losses suffered 

by the Allies. and uncertainty as to the outcome. brought home to the Allied nations a 

fuller realization of the existing critical situation. This realization forced immediate 

coordination of Allied effort and the employment of every- resource in manpower and material. 

Emergency Use of American Troops 

The need for coordination had become more evident with every- day of the battle. When. 

on March 23. it was possible to appreciate the size of the enemy effort and to estimate his 

strength and intentions. General Petafn suggested to General Pershing that the four 

American divisions which were then ready for combat (1st. 2d. 26th. and 42d) should be 

given front-line duties in quiet sectors so as to release veteran French divisions for 

battle. The two generals met at Compiegne on the evening of March 25. and definitely 

arranged for the use of these American divisions in various sectors. In so doing. General 

Pershing yielded. for the time being. his desire to form American corps. 

The situation was so grave that. after consulting with Mr. Baker. and General Bliss. 

General Pershing decided to place all of his forces unreservedly at the disposal of 

General Foch for the period of the emergency. He proceeded on March 28 to General Foch's 

headquarters near Clermont-sur-Oise. where he found M. Clemenceau. M. Loucheur. General 

Petafn. and General Foch in conference around a situation map. General Pershing gives the 

following account of what transpired: * 

The situation was pointed out to me. showing that already the British had used 

thirty divisions and the French seventeen against the Germans' seventy-eight. It 

seemed to be the opinion that the British Fifth Army was getting back on its feet 

and that the lines would hold for the time being. 

Intimating that I had come to see General Foch. the others withdrew into the 

yard. leaving us alone. I told him that the Americans were ready and anxious to 

do their part in this crisis. and that I was willing to send him any troops we had. 

I asked him for suggestions as to how we might help. He was evidently much touched 

and in his enthusiasm took me by the arm and without hesitation rushed me out 

across the lawn to where the others stood and asked me to repeat what I had 

said to him. They. of course. showed keen interest. especially M. Clemenceau. as 

I told them what I had said to General Foch. Colonel Boyd. my aide. was kind 

enough to say that. under the inspiration of the moment. my French was spoken with 

a fluency that I could not have mustered ten minutes before or after. 

[The following is a translation of General Pershing's French statement.] 

[I have come to tell you that the American people would consider it a great 

honor for our troops to be engaged in the present battle. I ask you for this in 

their name and my own. At this moment there are no other questions but of fighting.

• My Experiences in the World War. Vol. I. p. 364 - Pershing. 

- 12 -
At the conclusion of my visit. the details of making use of our troops were 

left to be arranged with Petain. who remarked that he and I had already discussed 

their employment. If the responsibility had been mine. I should not have 

hesitated a moment to put into the battle any or all of our five divisions then in 

France. The 1st Division was the only one used for the time being. the others 

being placed in quiet sectors. each to relieve two French divisions. As our 

divisions were more than twice as large as theirs. it amounted to almost immediate 

reenforcement of ten divisions. 

Actual participation of American troops in the Somme defensive operation was 

extremely limited. Our 6th Engineer Regiment. which had been sent to the British Fifth 

Army for bridge construction. was in the line west of Warfusee-Abancourt from March 27 to 

April 3. They suffered heavy casualties. but held their position tenaciously. The 12th 

and 14th Railway Engineer Regiments maintained and operated light railways in the 

advance zone of the British Third and Fifth Armies; and later they helped to construct 

trenches north of Amiens. The 17th. 22d. 28th. and 148th American Air Squadrons sexved 

during these operations as units in the British Royal Flying Corps. 

Allied Unity of Command 

In stoPPing the German offensive on the Somme. the Allies had come close to the brink 

of disaster---so close. in fact. that they no longer quibbled over coordination of Allied 

efforts on the Western Front. The urgent need for coordination had become more evident 

with each succeeding day of the battle. In a conference held at Doullens on March 26. 

1918. while the German Somme offensive was raging. General Foch had received authority to 

coordinate Allied activities. 

A meeting of the political leaders and military commanders of the Allies was held on 

April 3. at Beauvais. to consider coordination of the Allied efforts under one supreme 

commander. Generals Pershing and Bliss represented the United States. At this meeting. 

General Foch pointed out that his existing powers did not give him sufficient authority to 

prepare for coordinated action and to direct the execution of his plans. A resolution. 

intended to correct this Situation. was then presented. As it referred only to the French 

and British armies. General Pershing stated: 

I think the resolution should include the American army. The arrangement is to 

be in force. as I understand it. from now on and the American army will soon be 

ready to function as such and should be included as an entity like the British and 

French armies. 

General Petain replied: 

There is no American army as yet as such. as its units are either in training 

or are amalgamated with the British and French. 

To this General Pershing rejoined: 

There may not be an American army in force functioning now. but there soon will 

be. and I desire that this resolution apply to it when it becomes a fact. The 

American Government is represented here at this conference and in the war. and any 

action as to a supreme command that includes the British and French armies should 

also include the American army. 

The resolution as finally adopted mentioned the British. French. and American armies. 

General Foch was given the authority that he had requested and needed. 

From then on. questions arose as to whose ships should transport American troops. 

where these troops should be placed for training or for prospective use; and how many 

should be allocated to British areas and how many to French areas. Neither the French nor 

the British had given up the idea of using Americans to replace their battle losses. the 

formation of an American army was. to them. a secondary consideration. 

- 13 -
Priority for lrifantry and Machine-Gun Units 

As soon as the Gennan offensive of March 21. 1918. was launched. the Allies renewed 

with increasing vigor their previous requests for immediate American assistance in manpower. On March 27. at a meeting of the Pennanent Military Representatives of the Supreme 

War Council. Joint Note No. 18 was prepared and agreed upon. This note was in part as 

follows: 

The military representatives are of the opinion that it is highly desirable that 

the American Government should assist the Allied Armies as soon as possible by 

pennitting. in principle. the temporary service of American units in Allied Army 

corps and divisions; such reinforcements must. however. be obtained from other units 

than those American divisions which are now operating with the French. and the units 

so temporarily employed must eventually be returned to the American army. 

The military representatives are of the opinion that. for the present time. in 

execution of the foregoing. and until otherwise directed by the Supreme War Council, 

only American infantry and machine-gun units. organized as that Government may 

decide. be brought to France. and that all agreements or conventions hitherto made 

in conflict with this decision be modified accordingly. 

This resolution led to an immediate conference between Secretary of War Baker. who was 

still in France; General Bliss. our senior military representative with the Supreme War 

Council; and General Pershing. At this conference General Pershing pointed out the fact 

that this resolution ignored the question of the fonnation of an American anny and that. if 

approved by our Government without important reservations. all chance of having our forces 

operate as a distinctively national unit in 1918 would have to be abandoned. Mr. Baker. 

on March 28. cabled to President Wilson recommending that the President express his 

approval of Joint Note No. 18 in the following sense: 

The purpose of the American Government is to render the fullest cooperation and 

aid. and therefore the recommendation of the military representatives with regard to 

the preferential transportation of American infantry and machine-gun units in the 

present emergency is approved. Such units when transported will be under the 

direction of the Commander-in -Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces and will be 

assigned for training and use by him in his discretion. He will use these and all 

other military forces of the United States under his command in such manner as to 

render the greatest military assistance. keeping in mind always the determination of 

this Government to have its various military forces collected. as speedily as their 

training and the military situation will pennit. into an independent American army. 

acting in concert with the armies of Great Britain and France. and all arrangements 

made by him for their temporary training and service will be made with that end in 

view. 

President Wilson approved this recommendation. 

On April 7. Secretary of War Baker and General Pershing met with British representatives in Paris to discuss the new shipping arrangements made necessary by the provisions 

of Joint Note No. 18. Mr. Baker stated in this conference that he did not wish the 

British or the French to get the impression that the scheme provided by Joint Note No. 18 

would afford them a means for the replacement of their battle losses. He desired to avoid 

any disillusionment on their part when General Pershing called for the return of American 

troops entrusted to them for training. Documents published under "Policy-Fonning 

Docwnents" and "Relations with Allies. " in this series. shed much additional light on 

these matters.

• 
Lys 

April 9-April 27, 1918 

The thunder of Gennan guns on the Somme had scarcely died away when it broke out 

again farther north, around Ypres, Lens, and Armentieres. In the Somme offensive, the 

Gennan High Command had sought to destroy the British annies, and had fallen short of its 

goal by inches. In the Lys operation, long since blue-printed to cany on in the event of 

failure on the Somme, the original objectives were unaltered - to split the British 

forces away from the French, and to destroy the British as a preliminary to rolling up the 

French. 

Ordinarily, a spring offenSive in the valley of the Lys would have been out of the 

question. The whole country usually lay under water in this season; but, in the spring of 

1918, the ground was exceptionally dry. The rail net was favorable; and there were no 

woods worthy of the name to protect stubborn defenders. 

The Gennan Sixth Army was to make the main attack between Armentieres and the La 

Bassee Canal with seventeen divisions, its main effort being directed towards Hazebrouck. 

The Gennan Fourth Army, with eight divisions, was to take the heights of Messines and 

Neuve Eglise, and then join with the Gennan Sixth Army in far-reaching exploitation. 

On the night of April 7/8, the Gennans opened a bombardment, largely of gas, from 

Armentieres to Lens. The following night they repeated it with increasing intensity. 

Their infantry assault began at 8:45 a. m. April 9. It fell first upon a Portuguese 

division, then in the process of relief under British control, and overwhelmed those 

troops. The maximum Gennan penetration that day, about five miles, brought them to 

within three miles of Bethune, a point of vital importance as the center of a rich coal 

region. 

On April 10, the Gennan Sixth Army made little progress; but farther north, between 

Armentieres and the Ypres-Comines Canal, their Fourth Army was more successful. They 

enveloped Armentieres and so filled the town with gas that the British abandoned it. On 

the 11th, the Gennan attack continued: in the north, Messines fell: and in the south, 

Merville, eight miles from the line of departure, also fell. That night Marshal Haig 

exhorted his shaken forces: 'There is no other course open to us but to fight it out! 

Every pOSition must be held to the last man; there must be no retirement. With our backs 

to the wall, and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to 

the end." 

On April 12 and 13, the Gennans renewed their assaults with fresh vigor. Again and 

again they broke through the thin British lines, only to be pinned down before they could 

exploit their success rapidly enough to reap any great advantage. British and French 

divisions, hurriedly sent north from the Somme front, began to stiffen the Allied defense. 

For about a week after April 18, the battle died down into local affairs. Then, on April 

25, the Gennans renewed their attack with nine divisions in an all-out effort to capture 

Mont Kemmel, from which they had been repulsed on the 16th and 17th. This time they 

captured those heights and forced the Allied line back about a mile; however, the enemy 

was too exhausted to follow up his success. 

In their second offensive of 1918, the Gennans had again missed a great victory by a 

narrow margin. Both Hindenburg and Ludendorff have expressed their belief that success in 

the Lys operation would have dealt the Allies a vital blow. 

As on the Somme, American troops played a minute part in the Lys defenSive. The 

American 1st Gas Regiment (30th Engineers), the 16th Railway Engineer Regiment, and the 

28th Air Squadron, were attached to and served with British units. 

Abbeville Agreement 

Meanwhile, American troops were pouring into French and British ports. Plans had 

- 16 -
been made to increase greatly the strength of American infantry and machine-gun units to 

be transported to Europe in the near future. The American 1st, 2d, 26th, and 42d 

Divisions had taken over various quiet sectors so as to permit the release of veteran 

French divisions for more active employment elsewhere. Other American divisions, in increasing numbers, were swarming into training areas behind the French and British lines. 

The reader who desires to learn further details of what was happening during this period 

is referred to the documents under "Policy-Fonning Docwnents," "Training and Use of 

AmertcWl Units with the French," and "Training Wld Use of American Units with the 

British, " published in this series. 

A review of the situation took place in a meeting of the Supreme War Council at 

Abbeville, May 1/2, 1918. Records published in this series under "Policy-Fonning 

Docwnents," and "Relations with Allies," give full details of this important conference. 

As a sample of what those records contain, a few highlights are presented. 

M. Clemenceau, presiding, opened the Conference with a statement that the first subject for discussion was allocation of American troops to the Allied forces. Mr. Lloyd 

George stated that ten British divisions had been entirely knocked out, without any 

possibility of British replacements to refill them, hence the need for American battalions 

to bolster their depleted ranks. General Foch agreed that recently the British had 

suffered the greatest losses, but held that it could not then be determined who would most 

need assistance in the future. Mr. Lloyd George stated that both the French and British 

armies would need aid until August 1918, when their new drafts would be available, and he 

urged General Pershing to assist until that time, by allowing American units to serve in 

the British and French armies. 

General Pershing replied: 

I do not understand that the American Army is available for allocation as 

recruits to either Great Britain or France, nor for any indefinite period. We 

must have an American Army. I shall insist on this principle that no parceling 

out of the American Army shall prevail. I want this principle taken up and 

agreed to now by this Council. 

The French, Italian, and British authorities accepted the policy of the ultimate 

formation of an American army; but they believed that its organization should not be 

attempted until the outcome of the current militaxy operations could be ascertained. 

Strong efforts and much argument were used to impress this idea upon the American representatives. 

General Pershing finally terminated the discussion with the blunt statement: 

"Gentlemen, I have thought this program over very deliberately and will not be coerced." 

The agreement fmally reached at this conference, known as the Abbeville Agreement, 

was set forth in part as follows: 

It is the opinion of the Supreme War Council that, in order to catty the war to 

a successful conclusion, an American Army should be formed as early as possible under 

its own commander and under its own flag. In order to meet the present emergency it 

is agreed that American troops should be brought to France as rapidly as Allied 

transportation facilities will permit, and that as far as consistent with the 

necessity of building up an American Army, preference be given to infantry and 

machine-gun units for training and service with French and British Armies; with the 

understanding that such infantry and machine-gun units are to be withdrawn and 

united, with their own artillery and auxiliaxy troops, into divisions and corps at 

the discretion of the American Commander-in-Chief after consultation with the 

Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies in France. 

The decision reached at the Abbeville Conference, which covered the shipment of 

American troops through June, and left July for later review and determination, satisfied 

all participants; and General Pershing felt that the matter was definitely settled. 

However, French and British representatives in Washington immediately took steps to 

- 17-
reopen the question with a view to obtaining exclusive priority for infantIy and machinegun units to include the month of July. As a result of a War Department cablegram 

received on May 12. General Pershing had his staff restudy the situation. It developed 

that. under existing plans. there would be en route to and in France some 860.000 

American troops by June 30. 1918. at which time there would be a shortage of about 

380.000 necessary to the formation of a self-contained American Army. The entire question 

of troop shipments was again reopened at a meeting of the Supreme War Council held at 

Versailles on June 1/2. a few days after the Germans launched their third great 1918 

offenSive. 

The Aisne 

May 27.June 5, 1918 

As initially planned by the German High Command. the Aisne operation was intended as a 

diversion to draw French and British reserves away from the St-Pol---Poperinghe---Cassel---

Calais---Dunkerque area. where a strong attack in mid-June was contemplated. The Aisne 

operation grew in scope. strength. and importance as the original plans for it were 

elaborated. As finally evolved. the operation was spread over a front of about fifty 

miles extending from Abbecourt. on the west. to the vicinity of Reims on the east. The 

eastern zone was in the territory of General von Below's First Army: the center and 

western zones were in that of General von Boehm's Seventh Army. An auxiliary attack west 

of the Seventh Army. between Abbecourt and Noyon. against Compiegne. was entrusted to the 

German Eighteenth Army. 

The Germans opened their attack on May 27 with an overwhelming bombardment from 1.158 

artillery batteries. lasting for two hours and forty minutes. The German Seventh Army. 

which was to make the main effort. attacked at 3:40 a. m.: the First Army. an hour later. 

By the evening of May 27. the Germans had driven forward twelve miles into certain parts of 

the Allied pOSitions. The apex of their advance was on the north bank of the Vesle. and 

extended approximately six miles on each side of Fismes. 

On May 28. the Germans continued to advance. They gained the high ground south of the 

Vesle extending from just east of Soissons almost to Reims. With little loss they had 

accomplished their original intention. and now deCided to push on to the Marne. 

Accordingly. on May 29. the German Seventh and First Armies began attacks on the west 

towards Soissons. and on the east towards Reims. The Soissons thrust succeeded: the one 

toward Reims failed. In the center. the enemy moved forward with little interruption. 

The German forces reached the Marne near Mont-St-Pere on May 30. and the outskirts of 

Chateau-Thierry on May 31. They had captured some 60.000 prisoners. 650 guns. and vast 

quantities of ammunition and other supplies. Their mighty efforts had resulted in a great 

tactical success. Their plans for explOitation included further attempts to encircle 

Reims. and establishment of a bridgehead across the Marne at Chateau-Thierry. 

When the German advance had passed Fere-en-Tardenois on May 29. and the opposing 

Allied forces in that vicinity were in full retreat. General Petain requested that the 

American 3d Division be made available to hold the crossings of the Marne. General Pershing 

immediately agreed. The 3d Division. then in a training area near Chaumont. passed at once 

to the XXXVIII Corps of the French Sixth Army. Its movement by train and motor truck to 

the Marne. 110 miles away. began on May 30. On the evening of May 31. its advance 

machine-gun units took up posItions extending along the Marne River for a mile on each 

side of the Chateau-Thierry bridges. which were than being prepared for demolition. Conjointly with the French. these American machine-gun units prevented the Germans from 

entering that part of Chateau-Thierry which is south of the Marne. On June 1 the Germans 

commenced strong attacks. which they continued for more than three days. to secure the 

river crossings at Chateau-Thierry: but the main body of the 3d Division. which had reached 

that city on June 1. threw the Germans back to the north bank of the Marne and held them 

there. 

- 18 -
Meanwhile, other Gennan forces had pushed southwestward between the Marne and the 

Forest of Villers-Cotterets. The American 2d Division was sent to oppose them. On May 31, 

it moved from the vicinity of Chaumont-en-Vexin, about thirty miles northwest of Paris, by 

bus. On June I, as part of the French XXI Corps, it occupied a position near Lucy-leBocage, on a six-mile front, across the Chateau-Thieny---Paris road. On June 4 the 2d 

Division assumed command of a front-line sector in which bitter hand-to-hand fighting 

continued for many days, with fierce attacks and counterattacks alternating. The Gennans 

made no further advances in that area. 

By the night of June 3/4, the third great Gennan offenSive of 1918 was definitely 

stopped all along the line. American troops, though comparatively few in numbers, had 

fought valiantly to stem the tide. The moral effect of their determined intervention was 

out of all proportion to the number of American troops engaged. The showing that the 

American diviSions had made raised the morale of the French and British, and correspondingly depressed that of the Gennans. On June 6, the 2d Division struck back at the Gennans: 

and after prolonged and bitter fighting, it recaptured the strong positions of Belleau 

Wood, Bouresches, and Vaux. 

The results achieved by the American troops caused a change in the Gennan military 

opinion which, up to that time, had been frankly skeptical of the American soldier's 

fighting ability and the driving power of American units. The Gennan corps which opposed 

the 2d Division expressed their revised estimate as follows: 

The personnel must be called excellent. * * * The spirit of the 

troops is high * * *. The 2d American Division can be rated as a very good 

division * * *. The various attacks of the Marines were carried out smartly and 

ruthlessly. The moral effect of our fire did not materially check the advance of 

the infantry. The nerves of the Americans are still unshaken. 

Cantigny 

May 28-31, 1918 

While the Gennan offensive of May 27 - June 5, 1918, was in progress, there occurred 

a feat of American arms which, although not part of a major operation on the Western 

Front, deserves special notice. We refer to the capture of Cantigny by the American 1st 

Division. 

On March 29, the day following General Pershing's offer to General Foch of the 

unrestricted use of American troops in the existing emergency, the French High Command 

requested that the American 1st Division, then in a sector north ofToul, be made available 

for combat duty. The 1st Division was immediately relieved and moved to an area near 

Gisors, northwest of Paris, where it arrived on April 8. The region to which the 1st 

Division moved was about forty-three miles southwest of Montdidier, the point made 

sensitive by the Gennan offenSive of March, 1918. 

General Foch had considered various plans for a counteroffenSive in the area in which 

the American 1st Division now found itself: but the Gennans then held the initiative. 

Although it appeared that such counteroffensive plans must be postponed, the 1st Division 

was eager for action. Its commander, Major General Robert L. Bullard, requested permiSSion 

to attack without awaiting combined operations. His request was approved on May 15, 1918. 

Accordingly, the American 1st Infantry Division, then tactically a part of the X Corps of 

General Debeney's French First Anny, prepared an operation to capture the heights of 

Cantigny, without the assistance of French infantry. The French placed 173 guns, of 

which fifty were of more than divisional calibre, a battalion of French tanks, and a 

detachment of French flame-throwers, under control of the 1st Division, for this operation. 

General Bu11ard deSignated the 28th Infantry Regiment to make the assault on the 

heights of Cantigny. This regiment retired to a rear area, where it carefully rehearsed 

- 19 -
the details of the attack. On the nights of May 26/27 and 27/28. it returned to front 

line positions. and at 6:45 a. m. on May 28 advanced behind a rolling barrage. American 

infantry overran the German front lines. reached their objectives at 7:25 a. m. without 

much difficulty or loss. and captured about 240 prisoners. 

About noon on May 28. the Germans began a heavy bombardment and a series of strong 

counterattacks which continued almost without ceasing for two and a half days. Between 

May 28 and 31. the 28th Infantry Regiment suffered nearly 1.400 casualties; but. 

reinforced by a battalion from the 18th Infantry and a battalion from the 26th Infantry. 

it held the ground that had been won. 

The attack of the 1st Division at Cantigny was the first time in the war that an 

American division had fought as a unit in an offensive operation. The Germans characterized 

their new adversary as "brave" and "stubborn." News of the American 1st Division's 

success at Cantigny swept through the French and British armies with stimulating effect. 

It is worthy of note that certain officers of the 1st Division who participated in 

this attack. later achieved great distinction. General Bullard became an army commander; 

Summerall and Hines. corps commanders; Buck. Fly. Parker. and Bamford. division commanders; 

King and Marshall became corps chiefs of staff. Three of these officers. Summerall. Hines. 

and Marshall. each served a tour as Chief of Staff of the United States Army. and General 

Marshall became Chief of Staff for American participation in World War II. 

Versailles Coriference 

It is necessary at this point to consider the conference of the Allied Supreme War 

Council. held at Versailles on June 1/2. 1918. The rapidity of the German advance to the 

Marne. May 27 to 31. had created a situation fraught with extreme peril to the Allies. 

Through increase in frontage and heavy losses. French reserves had been reduced to a 

dangerously low point. The entire question of American troop shipments and allocations was 

again reopened at this conference. 

Messrs. Lloyd George. Clemenceau. and Orlando. General Foch. General Pershing. and 

others who participated. expressed their views with blunt frankness. They faced the facts 

and spoke their minds. As a result of this conference. a message was sent to President 

Wilson. in part as follows: 

The Prime Ministers of France. Italy. and Great Britain. now meeting at 

Versailles. desire to send the following message to the President of the United States: 

We desire to express our warmest thanks to President Wilson for the remarkable 

promptness with which American aid * * * has been rendered to the Allies * * *. The 

crisis. however. still continues. General Foch has presented to us a statement of 

the utmost gravity * * * there is great danger of the war being lost unless the 

numerical inferiority of the Allies can be remedied as rapidly as possible by the 

advent of American troops. He. therefore. urges with the utmost insistence that the 

maximum possible number of infantry and machine gunners. in which respect the shortage 

of men on the Allied side is most marked. should continue to be shipped from America 

in the months of June and July * * *. He places the total American force required * * * 

at no less than 100 divisions. 

CLEMENCEAU. 

D. LLOYD GEORGE. 

ORLANDO. 

Based on the assumption that at least 250.000 American troops a month could be transported in June and July. 1918. Lord Milner (for the British). General Foch (for the French). 

and General Pershing reached an agreement. covering the shipment of American troops. in 

which concessions were made on both sides. Actual shipments amounted to about 246.000 in 

May; 276.000 in June; and 307.000 in July. 1918. The July figure represents the greatest 

- 20-
number shipped in any month during our participation in the war. The Versailles Agreement 

of June 1/2, 1918, ended the extended series of conferences regarding the shipment and 

allocation of American troops. 

Montdidier-Noyon 

June 9-13, 1918 

Increasing American participation in the battles of the Western front in the spring and summer 

of 1918, on the whole successful at vital points, did not alter the fact that for the third time 

that year the Germans had won a remarkable tactical success. In the first five days of their Aisne 

offensive, they had advanced thirty miles; and they had captured over 60,000 prisoners, 650 guns, 

and enormous supply depots. Furthermore, they had captured Soissons, from whence a single 

narrow-gauge railway helped to move their supplies into the deep salient which they had driven to 

the Marne at Chateau-Thierry. The importance of Soissons made it obvious that the Allies would 

spare no effort to recover it. In order, therefore, to prevent its recapture and, at the same time, to 

improve their own Situation, the Germans launched their fourth 1918 offensive on June 9. This 

offensive, for which the German Eighteenth Army had long since prepared, was to strike between 

Montdidier and Noyon towards Compiegne. 

This operation was on a smaller scale than the one which immediately preceded it. Nevertheless, on June 9, there were eleven German divisions in line and ten in reserve on the twenty-three 

mile front extending from Montdidier to the Oise River, at N oyen. The Germans opened a violent 

artillery bombardment at midnight of June 8/9, and their infantry swept forward at 3:30 a. m. In 

the center, their success was immediate and they gained four miles. 

On June 10, the Germans added two and a half miles to the previous penetration, though on 

a steadily narrowing front. The French had anticipated this attack, had improved their methods of 

defense, and had secured adequate reserves. They counterattacked on June 11. with complete 

success. For the first time in 1918. a German offensive had been stopped at the height of its 

stride. After June 12. the line stabilized on this front. 

American participation in the Montdidier-Noyon Defensive. June 9-13. 1918. was limited to 

elements of our 1 st Division near Cantigny. Although outside the active combat area of the German 

infantry attack. the 1st Division came under a heavy German artillery preparation and had to 

repulse enemy raids. simulating a general attack. on its front. 

Eighty-Division Plan 

The situation as it then appeared to General Pershing was stated in a letter to the 

Secretary of War on June 18. and reiterated in his cablegram of June 21. 1918. to the War 

Department. in part as follows: 

The present state of the war under continued German offensives makes it 

necessary to consider at once the largest possible military program for the United 

States. * * * Both the French and British people are extremely tired of the war 

and their troops are reflecting this attitude in their frequent inability to meet 

successfully the German attacks. * * * Only the continual arrival of American 

troops and their judicious employment can restore the morale of our Allies and 

give them courage. * * * our minimum effort should be based on sending to France 

prior to May 1919. a total force. including that already here. of 66 divisions 

(or better. if possible) together with the necessary corps and army troops. service 

of supply troops. and replacements. This plan would give an available force of 

about 3.000.000 soldiers for the summer campaign of 1919. and if this force were 

maintained. would in conjunction with our Allies give us every hope of concluding 

the war in 1919. 

At a conference held on June 23. 1918. at General Pershing's headquarters in Chaumont. 

French and American representatives discussed the possibility of increasing the American 

military program. Those present were M. Clemenceau. M. Tardieu. Generals Foch. Weygand. 

- 21 -
and Mordacq. General Pershing and his Chief of Staff (General McAndrew). Colonel 

Fox Connor (G-3). and Colonel Boyd (Aide). The particular purpose of the conference was to 

discuss in detail the rate of shipments that would be necessary to give the Allies 

unquestioned superiority the following year. General Pershing's account of what transpired is as follows: 

The continuation of shipments up to 100 divisions. as already recommended by 

the Prime Ministers - Lloyd George. Clemence au and Orlando - formed the basis of 

French argument. M. Tardieu's estimate of the American problem was accurate. and 

doubting the possibility of our being able to reach the greater program. he 

favored reducing the immediate demands: but Clemence au and Foch were for the 

Hundred Division Program. 

I did not think it possible. from our experience. that we could accomplish so 

much and gave the opinion that even a force of eighty diVisions. or a total combat 

force of about 3.200.000 men. would probably overtax our facilities of transportation and supply. * * * it was my opinion that the eighty division plan would serve 

as a goal toward which effort could be directed. 

The conclUSions reached as a result of this Conference were cabled to the War 

Department on June 23. in part as follows: 

To win the victory in 1919. it is necessary to have a numerical superiority 

which can only be obtained by our having in France in April eighty divisions and 

in July 100 divisions. * * * 

Mr. Baker's reply. dated July 6. 1918. was in part as follows: 

I have the feeling that this war has gone on long enough and if any exertion 

on our part or any sacrifice can speed its successful termination even by a single 

day. we should make it. We are therefore now having studies made to show the 

things necessary to be done for three possible programs. one involving 60. one 80. 

and the other 100 divisions by the flrst of July. 1919. 

Our War Department eventually approved the Eighty-Division Program: but it did not 

commit the United States to support of the Hundred-Division Plan. The combat strength of 

80 American divisions would be apprOximately equal that of the combined Allied Armies of 

162 divisions then on the Western Front. For further details of these negotiations. the 

reader is referred to "Policy-Fonning Docwnents." published in this series. 

Corps and Anny Organization 

By the end of June. 1918. there were over 900.000 American troops in France. and 

others were arriving at the rate of nearly 10.000 a day. During the month that elapsed 

from the end of the enemy's Montdidier-Noyon drive. until the start of the last German 

offenSive of the war. in the Champagne-Marne region on July 15. General Pershing continued 

his efforts to create an American Army. 

Up to June 10. 1918. six divisions specifically designated by American GHQ had been 

permanently assigned to each of our army corps. Under this arrangement the I. II. and III 

Corps Headquarters. then in process of organization and training. had exercised administrative control over American divisions which. as a result of the four previously mentioned 

German offenSives. were dispersed in various sectors or training areas. No tactical 

command of divisions in action. or control of a front line sector. had as yet been entrusted to an American corps headquarters. After June 10. divisions were not permanently 

assigned to army corps. but were shifted about from one corps to another as circumstances 

required. A general order. issued on June 25. formally directed the organization of the 

American II. III. and N Corps. with Major General George W. Read in command of the II and 

Major General William M. Wright commanding the III Corps. Major General Hunter Liggett 

had previously been deSignated as I Corps Commander. No commander was appointed as yet 

for the N Corps. 

- 22-
On July 4. 1918. the American I Corps assumed tactical command of the sector just west 

of Chateau-Thieny previously held by the French III Corps. This was the first time that 

an American unit larger than a division had been given the responsibility for any part of 

the battle line. 

Only one American division. of the eight occupying front-line positions on July 4. had 

thus far come under the tactical command of an American corps commander. Fifteen other 

American divisions. each approximately double the strength of French. British. or German 

divisions. would soon be ready for battle. Under these conditions it was opportune for 

General Pershing to urge the definite assignment of an American combat zone and the 

concentration of his divisions under his corps commanders. On July 4. Lieut. Col. Hugh A. 

Drum was selected as Chief of Staff of the American First Army and directed to begin the 

organization of the army headquarters. Major General Robert L. Bullard replaced General 

Wright as commander of the III Corps on July 8. and the latter began to organize the 

headquarters of the V Corps. 

In conference with General Foch on July 10. General Pershing again stressed the 

necessity for concentrating American divisions into corps. and requested a final decision 

as to where the American Army would be formed and used. In urging establishment of the 

American sector in the Toul-Nancy region. General Pershing called attention to the 

important construction work already accomplished by American units on railways. depots. 

and other facilities in that area. He reviewed the administrative and strategical 

reasons which had caused the original selection of this front for his army; but. at the 

same time. he expressed a willingness to assemble the American Army temporarily in the 

Chateau-Thieny region. 

General Foch agreed that the scattered American forces. then about 1.000.000 strong. 

should be assembled as early as practicable to form an American Army. He also approved 

the idea of organizing this army in the vicinity of Chateau-Thieny. since so doing 

fitted in with his plans for the near future. The conference ended without a definite 

decision from General Foch as to the region in which the American Army would finally be 

employed. 

Further plans for the immediate organization of the American Army were again delayed 

by the last German offenSive. the Champagne-Marne operation. 

Champagne - Marne 

July 15-18, 1918 

The four German offenSives in 1918. prior to the Champagne-Marne operation. had gained 

important successes and had resulted in great captures of men and materiel; but they had 

failed to achieve decisive results. To retain the initiative and secure final victory. the 

German High Command scheduled two large operations for July. The first was to take Reims: 

the second. on a much larger scale. and to be launched ten days after the first. was 

intended to destroy the British Army in Flanders. The first met disaster; the second never 

got under way. 

German preparations for the Reims operation placed twenty-four divisions in position 

for the assault. with seventeen divisions in reselVe. A total of 2.010 artillery 

batteries of various calibers was designated for partiCipation - about twenty-three and a 

half batteries for each mile of the attack front. The day set for the attack was July 15. 1918. 

The German Seventh Army attacked with eleven divisions in the first line. four in 

support. and five in reselVe. It was to advance from the eastern face of the Marne salient. 

between Gland and Chambrecy. southeastward on both banks of the Marne. to secure the 

crossings at Epernay and the hills southeast of Reims. then it was to push upstream until 

it gained touch with the German First Army. 

The German First Army attacked east of Reims. with seven divisions in the first line. 

two in support. and two in reselVe. Its initial task was to penetrate the French pOSitions 

- 23-
between Prunay and Auberive; then. wheeling to the west. it was to advance downstream along 

the Marne to make contact with the Seventh Anny. Its principal objective was Chalons-surMarne. 

To the east of the First Anny. the German Third Anny advanced with six divisions in 

the front line. two in support. and two in reserve. It was to cover the left of the First 

Anny and extend the new line into the old at the edge of the Argonne Forest. If all went 

well. Reims. enCircled from east and west. would fall like a ripe plum and the Marne 

salient would be so broadened as to include the excellent railway net that radiated from 

Reims. 

General Maistre commanded the French group of armies which was destined to stop the 

German advance. The French Fourth. Fifth. and Sixth Annies. in line from east to west. 

had aligned thirty-one divisions between Chateau-Thieny and the western edge of the 

Argonne Forest. In addition. eleven infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions were 

in reserve. In the armies thus disposed were included certain American divisions which. 

on July 15. were placed as follows: 

42d Division just north of Suippes. in the XXXI Corps. French Fourth 

Anny. 

3d Division between Jaulgonne and Chateau-Thieny. in the XXXVIII Corps. 

French Sixth Anny. 

28th Division. south of the Marne. with infantry elements serving with 

two French divisions. one on each flank of our 3d DiviSion. 

26th Division between Torcy and Vaux. 

1st Division in reserve north of Meaux. 

2d Division in reserve near Chateau-Thieny. 

4th Division en route to enter the line on July 16 on the left of our 

26th Division. 

On the Allied Side. the troops stood ready for the attack that they knew was coming. 

Throughout the night of July 13/14. they were on alert; but nothing unusual happened. On 

July 14. French observers noted German batteries going into pOSition in the open fields 

west of the Argonne Forest; and they reported swarms of German infantry in the hilly 

country around Reims. That night the French made numerous raids to capture prisoners; and 

as a result. they learned the exact time and place of the forthcoming German attack. 

This time the German attack was not a surprise; in fact. the defenders were ready with 

a surprise of their own. Always a close student of enemy successes. General Petain had 

devised a new defenSive scheme. It provided that the front line should be held by only the 

minimum of troops necessary to delay. disorganize. and confuse the first German attack 

waves. The greater part of the defensive force. infantry and artillery. were to hold or 

retake the second line positions whenever and wherever the Germans got that far. Although 

many of the higher officers of the French army still clung to the idea of never yielding an 

inch of ground. others. especially those familiar with the effectiveness of General 

Petain's scheme in the Montdidier-Noyon operation. had trained their troops in accordance 

with his doctrine. 

Anned with definite knowledge of the enemy's plans. thanks to the efforts of French 

intelligence agencies. General Petain forestalled the German attack of July 15. 1918. 

Between 11:00 and 11:40 p. m .• July 14. every Allied battery opposite the German attack 

sectors ushered in the battle with fire on suspected assembly areas and on the sites of 

probable river crossings. This unexpected fire caught the German troops in mass formations 

and all but wiped out whole organizations. Fire of the French artillery disrupted German 

plans for the construction of bridges over the Marne River. on the front of the German 

Seventh Anny. so effectively that the crossings at most points within that area were 

limited to the use of ferries and pontons. 

The Germans made no immediate attempt to silence the French artillery. Instead. they 

complied with their original orders to hold their fire until ten minutes after midnight. 

- 24-
Then. with a tremendous crash. 2.000 Gennan batteries spouted forth the greatest artillery 

preparation of any battle thus far fought. At daybreak of July 15. the Gennan infantry 

began to advance. 

East of Reims. the French Fourth Anny applied General Petain's new defensive tactics 

skillfully. The Gennan bombardment fell on pOSitions from which most of the troops had 

already been Withdrawn. As the enemy approached. the outposts retired slowly. fighting 

stubbornly. French artillery caught the Gennan support troops in column as they emerged 

from the hills on the north edge of valley of the Vesle. and inflicted heavy losses upon 

them. By 11 :00 a. m. the enemy's attack had come to a standstill on this front. with the 

French main defenSive position still intact all along the line. 

The American 42d Division shared in this important check to the Gennan attack. Five 

of its infantry battalions and all of its artillery participated in the action. 

West of Reims, the French Fifth Anny did not apply the new defense methods so well. 

It selected and strongly occupied prominent sites in advance of the main defenSive position. 

and ordered that they be held to the last man. The Fifth Anny lost both its line of 

advanced posts and its main defensive position. North of the Marne. by noon on July 15. 

the Gennan penetration averaged three miles; on the south bank. a Gennan advance of more 

than four miles endangered Epernay. 

The French SixthAnny. west of the Fifth. was likewise remiss in applying the new 

defensive tactics. Its advanced posts on the southern bank of the Marne. in the III Corps 

sector. were wiped out by the enemy's preparation fire. In this sector. the Gennans 

crossed the Marne without much interference. and made such rapid progress that by midday 

they had gained contact with the second pOSition. three miles in the rear. In the 

adjoining sector. that of the French XXXVIII Corps. the American 3d Division. though outflanked. maintained its positions; and on this front. the situation was satisfactory. 

The French Fourth Anny was unshaken; but the French Fifth and Sixth Annies were in 

need of support. The Gennans had driven a pocket eight and a half miles long and from 

three to four miles deep south of the Marne. It appeared that they were about to capture 

Epernay and cut off the Montagne de Reims. 

Ample reinforcements were available; but whether to use them in this battle or to save 

them for their part in the Allied offenSive planned for July 18. was the problem that 

confronted General Petain. At 10:00 a. m. on July 15. he sent the following telegram to 

the French Group of Annies of the Reserve: 'The Boche has made a pocket south of the 

Marne. Suspend the Mangin operations [the planned offensive] so that I can send your 

reserves to the battle south of the Marne." Fortunately for the Allies. this order never 

became effective. As soon as this order came to General Foch's knowledge. he at once 

countennanded it by a message to General Petain in which he directed that preparations for 

the forthcoming offenSive must not be stopped or held up in any way. 

The Gennan advance west of Reims continued during the afternoon of July 15. In the 

sector opposite the extreme right of the Gennan attack. the American 3d Division. with 

both brigades in line. retained the pOSitions which it held that morning. between ChateauThierry and the bend where the Sunnelin Creek flows into the Marne. On the night of July 

15/16. the Gennans attacked in this sector. The fIrst waves crossed the Marne under cover 

of darkness; but as dawn came and the fog lifted. their advance encountered stubborn and 

effective resistance. Though the enemy did not succeed in crossing the Marne River on the 

front of our 3d Division, farther to the east he penetrated so deeply that the right of 

that division was forced to fonn a new battle line facing eastward. Here. in spite of 

heavy losses. it held. During the night and early morning of July 16. all Gennan troops 

west of the Sunnelin. who could do so. withdrew to the northern bank of the Marne. By 

noon on July 16. the commander of our 3d Division reported: 'There are no Gennans in the 

foreground of the 3d Division sector except the dead." 

The American 28th Division had been split up during the fight. Elements of one 

brigade fought throughout the action in the front line on the left of the French III Corps. 

On July 16. a regiment from the other brigade relieved a front-line regiment of the 

American 3d Division.

On the second day of the battle, the Germans continued the attack on the front of 

their Seventh Army. East of Reims, the action was little more than a demonstration. 

Although the German High Command realized that their First and Third Armies had failed, 

they still believed that their Seventh Army could capture Reims. On July 16, after hard 

fighting, the German Seventh Army gained ground towards Epernay, but was unable to effect 

its capture. 

German orders for July 17 reflected the enemy's realization of failure. Only north 

of the Marne did the enemy continue the attack. His advance was held up in the vicinity 

of Nanteuil-Ia-Fosse. His effort had failed; the last German offensive of the war had 

come to an end. 

The Aisne-Marne 

July 18-August 6, 1918 

From the beginning of the year until July IS, 1915, the Germans had held the 

initiative and had struck powerful blows when and where they chose; but, despite remarkable 

successes, they had been unable to cripple the Allies. From July IS to the end of the war, 

the Allies took and held the offensive, in a series of operations as follows: 

Aisne-Marne 

Somme 

Ypres-Lys 

Oise-Aisne 

St-Mihiel 

Meuse-Argonne 

July IS-August 6 

August S-November 11 

August 19-November 11 

August 7-November 11 

September 12-16 

September 26-November 11. 

French, British, and American troops, under the skillful guidance of General Foch (who 

became a Marshal of France on August 6, 1915), fought valiantly and victoriously on their 

respective fronts. It is a fact, however, that the continuing arrival in France of fresh 

American troops made these offensive operations possible. 

Conditions in Marne Salient 

Even before the German offensive in the Montdidier-Noyon region, June 9-13, the French 

Fifth Army had ordered harassing attacks on the eastern face of the Marne salient. On 

June 20, General Mangin, commanding the French Tenth Army, submitted a plan for an attack on 

the western face of that salient to seize the plateau southwest of Soissons. This plan was 

approved; and the preliminary operations in connection therewith were completed on July 10, 

five days before the Germans launched their abortive Champagne-Marne offenSive. From these 

minor attacks, the French High Command learned that the German front in the Marne salient 

was held by worn-out units. 

On July 7, from prisoners, from observers. and finally from two French soldiers who 

had escaped from their captors, came information of genuine importance---information which 

proved conclusively the extent of the proposed German attack west of Reims. General Foch 

wrote on July 9 to General Petain, suggesting enlargement of the prOjected Allied 

offenSive against the Marne salient: " ••• two attacks simultaneously executed against 

the enemy's flanks will oblige him to evacuate the Chateau-Thierry salient under difficult 

conditions. " 

In accordance with General Foch's concept of the Situation, which proved to be 

correct, General Petain issued an order on July 12 for a converging attack against the 

enemy in the Marne salient, as extensive as the strength of his forces would permit, and 

with full knowledge that the Germans would shortly launch their Champagne-Marne offensive. 

He set July IS as the day for the attack. 

Five French Armies were to take part in the offensive. They were, from left to right, 

the Tenth, Sixth, Ninth, Fifth, and Fourth. The Tenth and Sixth Armies were to begin their 

- 27-
preparation fire at 4:35 a. m., and attack one and a half hours later, to strike the main 

blow, on the west side of the Marne salient from opposite Soissons to Chateau-Thierry. The 

Ninth and Fifth Armies were directed to attack to recover ground lost since July 14, 

between Chateau-Thierry and Reims. The operations of the Fourth Army were to be limited to 

local attacks east of Reims. 

To maintain secrecy, unusual precautions had been taken to limit all information about 

the coming operation to the high commands. Time allowed for concentration of the Allied 

forces was extremely restricted. In consequence, during the nights preceding July 18, the 

roads and trails behind the Allied front were filled with troops straining to reach their 

assigned positions. Only at the last moment was the concentration complete. 

The troops that participated in the first day of the Aisne-Marne offensive will long 

remember the night on which they moved into position. The dirt roads became almost 

impassable seas of mud under torrents of rain. Marching columns kept to their routes 

guided only by lightning and by the flashes of big guns. But if the night was unkind to 

the marching troops, it served the Allied purpose. The same foul weather prevented the 

Germans from observing what was happening. 

The operation developed in three phases, initial assault, July 18-20: pursuit to the 

Ourcq, July 21-29: and pursuit to the Aisne-Vesle line, July 30-August 6. 

Initial Assault 

July 18-20 

The initial assault, delivered on a front of ninety-three miles, was well coordinated. 

Each of the five French armies engaged carried out its prescribed heavy artillery 

bombardment. To the east, the Fourth Army confined itself to purely local attacks, as 

ordered. Just west of Reims the Fifth Army struck on both banks of the Marne with nominal 

success: on its left, the Ninth Army attacked south of the Marne without notable results. 

Meanwhile, on the western face of the salient, the initial effort of the Sixth and Tenth 

Armies met with success all along the line. At first, the Germans offered only slight 

resistance: however, their defense gradually stiffened duIing the afternoon of July 18. 

By night, the Allies had captured 12,000 prisoners and advanced from two to five miles. 

The French Tenth Army, on the extreme left of the attack, had the most difficult task. 

Its mission was to drive a wedge into the shoulder of the salient just south of Soissons 

towards Fere-en-Tardenois, so as to cut off German troops then as far south as ChateauThierry. Of its five corps, four participated in the initial attack: I, XX, XXX, and II, 

in that order from left (north) to right (south). 

Of the five divisions in the French XX Corps, two were American. On the left, in the 

front line, was the American 1st Division: in the center, the Moroccan 1st Division: on the 

right, the American 2d Division. Though our 1st and 2d Divisions belonged to the American 

III Corps, they were under tactical command of the French XX Corps at this time. The 

artillery of these divisions was reinforced by French heavy guns, and, in addition, each 

front-line division had the support of at least four French tank battalions. Their miSSion, 

which was of Critical importance to the whole offensive, was to clear the plateau northeast of 

Hartennes and to hold the ravines leading up from the south towards the Crise River. 

To rea'ch their departure positions, troops of the American 2d Division had made 

exhausting marches in darkness and driving rain, over unknown and congested forest roads. 

The rear elements arrived barely in time to participate in the initial attack. The 

division nevertheless fought its way steadily forward, captured Vierzy in the afternoon, 

and at nightfall was a mile east ofVierzy, in contact with the French troops on both flanks. 

Early in their advance, the Moroccan 1st Division was held up in the dense woods 

which border the ravine of Ru de St-Pierre AigIe. Shortly thereafter, this division 

advanced through strong opposition to the army objective set for July 18. 

The American 1st Division, which had gotten into pOSition only by great exertion and 

- 28-
with little time to spare. entered the attack in good order. both brigades abreast. By 

nightfall. the French 153d Division had come up on its left. Missy had been taken. and 

the right brigade of our 1st Division had pushed on until its right was northeast of 

Chaudun. 

In the French Tenth Army. the XX Corps made the greatest advance on July 18. and the 

American 1 st and 2d Divisions had contributed largely to this success. Farther to the 

south. in the zone of the French Sixth Army. three corps were in line. The French II 

Corps on the left (north), the French VII Corps in the center. and General Liggett's 

American I Corps on the right. A brigade of the American 4th Division was attached to 

the French II Corps. and the remainder of that division to the French VII Corps. In the 

American I Corps were two divisions. the French 167th and the American 26th. The American 

I Corps held the line from Vaux. a mile west of Chateau-Thieny. to the Clignon. with our 

26th Division on the right. By evening on July 18. the Americans had taken the towns of 

Belleau. Torcy. and Givxy. In the French VII and II Corps. troops of the American 4th 

Division. together with the French divisions on their right and left. had advanced two and 

a half miles. 

The Germans were shaken by the fury of the Allied initial assault. The German Crown 

Prince has characterized the situation on the evening of July 18. 1918. as the most 

critical of his experience in the entire war. The pOSition of the German Seventh Army was 

precarious. and would become perilous should the Allies continue their present rate of 

advance. The Allied counteroffensive had taken the German forces in the Marne salient in 

flank and rear; if the Allies succeeded in capturing Soissons and in reaching the hills to 

the east. not only would the enemy's communications be cut. but the German divisions then 

in the southern part of the salient would be in danger of capture. The German Army 

commanders rushed reserves by truck to the endangered areas. especially towards Soissons. 

to hold the line long enough to permit evacuation of the salient should withdrawal become 

necessary. as it very shortly did. 

Early on July 19. 1918. the Army Group of the German Crown Prince issued orders for 

reconnaissance and selection of four rearward defenSive pOSitions. The Germans planned to 

hold fast in the vicinity of Soissons. while they gradually withdrew their troops and 

supplies from other threatened pOints within the Marne salient. 

Allowing the Germans no respite. the Allies resumed their attacks at 4:00 a. m .. on 

July 19. They encountered stiffer resistance. because more German reserves had come into 

the line. The Allied tanks. largely because of difficult terrain and mechanical failures. 

were less effective than they had been on the previous day. In the French Tenth Army. on 

the left. the XX Corps continued to drive forward. By evening on July 19. the American 

1st Division had reached a line from Mont de Courmelles Ferme. north ofPloisy. to the 

high ground between Chazelles and the Soissons-Paris Railroad. The Moroccan 1st Division 

advanced in conjunction with the American 1st and 2d Divisions. The American 2d Division 

pushed ahead as far as the western edge of Tigny. where it lost connection with the 

Moroccans on its left. In two days. the American 2d Division had suffered some 5.000 

casualties and had advanced about six and a half miles. 

In the French Sixth Army. farther south. brigades of our 4th Division. serving with 

the French VII and II Corps. helped to drive back the Germans and to establish. on the 

night of July 19. a line well east of Chouy. Neuilly-St-Front. and Priez. The American I 

Corps. acting as the pivot of the French Sixth Army's advance. made a slight advance. 

On July 20. the Allied attack continued vigorously. To the east, the French Fifth and 

Ninth Armies occupied the southern bank of the Marne. In the French Sixth Army zone. the 

American I Corps captured the Bois de Bouresches. and the French VII and II Corps advanced 

from two to four miles. In the French Tenth Army zone. the Allies advanced against 

increasing opposition. As a result of the Allied successes achieved by this initial 

assault on the Marne salient, the Germans were forced to give up considerable ground and to 

retire on the night of July 20/21 to the line: Breny-Epieds-Charteves. 

- 29-
Pursuit to the Ourcq 

July 21-29, 1918 

The Allies now took up the pursuit of the defeated enemy in the direction of the Ourcq. 

On July 21, their troops renewed the battle on a large scale from the Marne to the Aisne. 

The French Fifth Army, in severe fighting in the Ardre River Valley, made slight gains. The 

French Ninth Army, on its left, did not advance. The French Sixth Army, which included our 

3d, 26th, and 28th Divisions, advanced cautiously on the heels of the retiring German troops 

on its front. In the French Tenth Army zone, the XX Corps crossed the road leading from 

Chateau-Thierry to Soissons, a German supply artery; however, resistance became so furious 

that it could go no farther. On the front of the American 1st Division, despite desperate German 

efforts to hold their positions, our troops captured Berzy-Ie-Sec, which had changed hands 

several times, crossed the Chateau-Thierry highway, and occupied the high ground north of 

Buzancy. During the night of July 22/23, the American 1st Division was relieved by the Scottish 15th Division. In four days of fighting, the 1st Division had suffered about 7,200 casualties, 

including many of its battalion and regimental commanders. 

Ten German divisions had fought in the zone of the French XX Corps since July 18. 

Through the thick of them, the Allies drove forward seven miles. The American 1st and 2d 

Divisions, in four days, captured some 6,500 prisoners and 143 pieces of artillery, in 

addition to numerous machine guns and other materiel. 

The Allied success had suddenly reversed the entire military Situation on the Western 

Front. This reversal was so far-reaching in its effects that it may justly be regarded as 

the turning point of the war. However, there was to be much desperate fighting before the 

Allies could win the final victory. 

On July 22, the French Sixth Army attacked alone, with little to show for the efforts. 

The following day, all of the Allied forces on the Aisne-Marne front participated in a 

general attack; but again they achieved only local successes. Although it might appear 

that these attacks had little effect, such was not the case. Continued Allied pressure 

forced the Germans to withdraw on the night of July 26/27 to a line extending from 

Hartennes through Grand-Rozoy to the northern bank of the Ourcq River. 

On July 27 and 28, the Allies continued to pursue the retreating enemy. Our 3d Division, in the face of strong enemy fire, crossed the Ourcq, and took Roncheres on the 28th, 

while the 42d Division fought its way, along its entire front, to the northern bank of the 

Ourcq. The 28th Division, which had relieved the French 39th during the preceding night, 

reached the Ourcq, but was unable to secure a permanent foothold on the north bank. These 

operations brought together three American divisions, the 3d, 28th, and 42d, in line from 

Roncheres to Fere-en-Tardenois. The American 4th Division, after a rest of five days, now 

took its place in our I Corps in close support of the 42d. The 32d Division, newly arrived 

from the region of Belfort, became the reserve of the French XXXVIII Corps. 

It was now imperative for the Germans to hold, on the line of the Ourcq, long enough 

to get their troops, supplies, and materiel out of the area, and gain time to strengthen 

their next defenSive pOSition, on the Aisne---Vesle line. On July 29, Allied efforts to 

break through the German positions, on the front of the French Tenth and Sixth Armies, met 

with but little success. The 3d and 28th Divisions made slight gains; and the 28th crossed the 

Ourcq west of Cierges. The 42d Division, reinforced by two infantry battalions from the 4th, 

captured Sergy on July 20; and the 32d Division (which had relieved the American 3d Division 

in line), with a brigade of the 28th, stormed and captured the ridge in their foreground. 

Pursuit to the Aisne-Vesle Line 

July 30-August 6, 1918 

Beginning on July 30, the Allies pressed their pursuit towards the Aisne-Vesle line. 

For the next several days, they made repeated determined efforts to effect a breakthrough. 

With each day's retreat, the Germans had a shorter line to defend, and even though they 

- 30-
suffered heavy losses. the time finally came when they could hold back the victorious 

Allied advance. 

In the general attack launched by the Allies on August 1. the French Tenth Army made 

material gains on its right; and the French Sixth Army made small advances. The American 

42d Division gained ground; and the 32d Division. after hard fighting. advanced a mile. 

broke into important pOSitions in the new German line of reSistance. and captured them. On 

August 2. the Allies advanced all alcng the fronts of the French Tenth. Sixth. and Fifth 

Armies. On August 3. the French Tenth and Sixth Armies reached the Vesle and the Aisne. 

and occupied the high bluffs on the southern banks of these rivers. The French Fifth Army 

held the divide between the Ardre and Vesle. Advance Allied elements were running short of 

food and ammunition; and as they approached the valley of the Vesle. they came under heavy 

machine-gun and artillery fire. 

The American III Corps. under Major General Robert L. Bullard. entered the battle as a 

combat command unit on August 4. and at once took over the zone of action and the troops of 

the French XXXVIII Corps. By this change. the 32d Division. in the front line. the 28th 

Division. and 3d Division (less one brigade). all came under American command. The following day. the American III Corps extended its tactical control to include the front of the 

French III Corps. which contained the 6th Brigade of the American 3d Division. That same 

date. the American I Corps assumed command of the zone of the French II Corps on its left. 

Thus on August 5. the entire front of the French Sixth Army was under control of American 

corps commanders. 

Early on the morning of August 6. the American I Corps bombarded the German positions 

north of the Vesle in preparation for a crossing in force. and that afternoon made a 

partially successful attempt to establish bridgeheads. East of Bazoches. the 4th Division 

crossed the Vesle and established its right brigade along the Soissons-Reims Highway; and 

the 32d Division. on the right of the 4th. captured Fismes. 

August 6 marks offiCially the termination of the Aisne-Marne offenSive. This operation had changed the Allied outlook from defense to offense. It exercised a greater influence upon German plans and policies than was appreciated at the moment. It ended 

abruptly the German Champagne-Marne offenSive and prevented the capture of Reims by the 

enemy. It forced the German High Command to postpone indefinitely its projected attack 

against the British armies in Flanders. Furthermore. it made perfectly clear the fact that 

Ludendorffs efforts to crush the Allies. before America could put an effective force into 

the field. had failed. 

The extent of our participation in the Aisne-Marne offenSive can be better understood 

when we consider that the eight American divisions engaged were numerically stronger than 

double their number of French. British. or German divisions. At critical points American 

units had been the spearheads. Their decisive entry into action brought about a complete 

change in the morale. as well as in the tactics of the Allies; moreover. it infused new 

hope into their war-weary troops and leaders. In consequence. cautiously planned Allied 

operations began to give way to operations more daring in concept. more audaCiOUS in execution. and more decisive in results. 

Shortly before the end of the Aisne-Marne offenSive. on July 23. General Pershing had 

received from Secretary of War Baker a cablegram in which President Wilson set forth the 

pOSition of the United States in the war. In view of the fact that this statement of 

policy served to strengthen General Pershing's hand in his subsequent dealings with the 

Allies. and because of its historical importance. this message is reproduced in full among 

- 31 -
"Policy-Fonning Docwnents" in this compilation. It reads in part as follows: 

No. 73 

AGO, WAR DEPARrMENT, 

Washington. D. C .• July 22. 1918. 

TO: Amertcan Section. Supreme War Council. 

Versailles 

The President has handed the Ambassadors of England. France, and Italy a statement of 

the military policy of the United States. which follows: 

• 

The whole heart of the people of the United States is in the winning of this war. 

The controlling purpose of the Government of the United States is to do anything that 

is necessary and effective to win it. It wishes to cooperate in every practicable 

way with the Allied Governments. and to cooperate ungrudgingly: for it has no ends of 

its own to serve and believes that the war can be won only by common council and intimate concert of action. It has sought to study every proposed policy or action in 

which its cooperation has been asked in this spirit. and states the following conclusions in the confidence that. if it fmds itself obliged to decline participation in 

any undertaking or course of action, it will be understood that it does so only because it deems itself precluded from participating by imperative considerations either 

of policy or of fact. 

In full agreement with the Allied Governments and upon the unanimous advices of 

the Supreme War Council. the Government of the United States adopted, upon its entrance into the war, a plan for taking part in the fighting on the western front where 

all its resources of men and material were to be put. and put as rapidly as possible. 

and it has carried out that plan with energy and success. pressing its execution more 

and more rapidly forward and literally putting into it the entire energy and executive 

force of the nation. This was its response. its very willing hearty response. to 

what was the unhesitating judgment alike of its own military advisers and of the advisers of the Allied Governments. It is now considering, at the suggestion of the 

Supreme War Council. the possibility of making very considerable additions even to 

this immense program which. if they should prove feasible at all. will tax the industrial processes of the United States and the shipping facilities of the whole group 

of associated nations to the utmost. It has thus concentrated all its plans and all 

its resources upon this single absolutely necessary object. 

In such circumstances it feels it to be its duty to say that it cannot. so long 

as the military situation on the western front remains critical. consent to break or 

slacken the force of its present efforts by diverting any part of its military forces 

to other points or objectives.

The Somme Offensive 

August~Novemberll,1918 

• • • 

The British plan for the Somme offensive initially contemplated an operation with only 

a limited objective. The Brttish Fourth Army (Rawlinson) was to advance east and southeast 

from Amiens to a line extending from Le Quesnel to Mertcourt-sur-Somme, about nineteen miles 

away, so as to free the Paris-Amiens Railway. Marshal Haig approved the plan on July 17. 

Marshal Foch saw the plan a week later, and added another army to increase the extent and 

power of the operation. Accordingly. the French First Army, under General Debeney. received orders to partiCipate, and on July 28 it came under the command of Marshal Haig. On 

August 5. Marshal Foch directed that. in the event of success, the Allied attack would be 

extended to include the railway centers of Roye and Chaulnes. so as to cut German 

- 32-
communications about Montdidier and Lassigny. When the operations began on August 8, no 

one could foresee that they would continue with ever increasing power and effect until the 

end of the war. 

Five armies were involved, of which three were Allied and two German. General 

Rawlinson's Army, which included the American 33d Division, occupied a front of about 

fourteen miles from Morlancourt south to the Amiens-Roye Road. South of Rawlinson, the 

French First Army extended the line to about three miles south of Montdidier, and on its 

right the French Third Army (Humbert), held as far as the Oise River. Opposite these 

three Allied armies stood the German Second Army, from north of Moreuil to Albert. and the 

German Eighteenth Army, from Albert to the north bank of the Oise. 

The attack began, without preliminaty bombardment, at 4:20 a. m., August 8. Elaborate 

precautions had been taken to preserve secrecy and to deceive the enemy, apparently with 

success. Preceded by tanks, supported by attack planes, and with its movements screened 

by a thick fog, the Allied infantty advanced under the protection of intense artlllety concentrations which smothered the enemy's batteries. Rawlinson's Army fell upon the surprised Germans, completely overran their positions, and destroyed their communications. 

Within twenty-four hours, they had seized the entire Amiens "outer line" from Le Quesnel, 

on the Amiens-Roye Road, to Morcourt on the Somme. East of that line, British cavalty 

and tanks created havoc among the disorganized German troops. That day Rawlinson's Army 

(British Fourth) captured some 13,000 prisoners and more then 300 German guns. General 

Debeney's Army (French First), advancing in conjunction with the Canadians on the British 

right, by the night of August 8 reached a line extending from Fresnoy to Hargicourt, and 

had taken 3,000 prisoners. General Ludendorff, then Chief of Staff at German GHQ, counts 

that day as the blackest of the war. 

On August 9, the advance continued. German reSistance, strong at first, soon 

weakened. British cavalty, operating in advance of the infantty, captured many prisoners 

and gained ground rapidly. It was the first time since the war began that mounted cavaltymen had been able to move across open countty and reap the fruits of a successful infantty 

and tank attack. North of the Samme, the left of Rawlinson's Army advanced. A regiment 

of the American 33d Division, in a magnificent dash, cleared Chipilly Ridge and took 

Gressaire Wood, an important and strongly defended position at the northeastern extremity 

of Chipilly Ridge. 

By the evening of August 12, on Rawlinson's right, Debeney had taken Montdidier and 

Humbert had taken Ressons-sur-Matz. The attack completely freed Amiens and the railway 

center at that place. Thus far, Allied captures totaled some 22,000 prisoners and 400 

guns, and an advance of twelve miles had been made. 

During the operations of August 10, 11, and 12, there was a gradual stiffening of 

German resistance along the Somme front. Marshal Haig decided to reduce operations on the 

front of Rawlinson's Army, where the Germans were expecting them, and to shift the attack 

to the front of Byng's British Third Army, north of the Somme. He directed General Byng 

to attack in the direction of Bapaume, so as to turn from the north the lines of the old 

Somme defenses in front of Rawlinson. 

While preparations for this new attack were under way, various reaSSignments were 

made. On August 16, Debeney's French First Army was withdrawn from British command and 

returned to the control of General Fayolle. On August 22, the Canadian Corps was relieved 

from the right of Rawlinson's Army. On the 23d, the American 33d Division began to move 

east to join the American First Army. 

The German war machine was beginning to fall apart. On August 14 a conference was 

held at the German GHQ to discuss ways and means of ending hostilities. To this conference 

came the German Emperor and the highest civil and militaty offiCials of the Empire. 

General Ludendorff stood firm in his assertion that the German forces could maintain themselves on French soil, and, by a strategic offenSive, break the war spirit of the Allies 

and force them to accept peace. But this was a marked change from the conviction he had so 

confidently expressed only a month earlier that the Central Powers would surely win the war. 

- 33-
Grim as the German outlook appeared on August 14, it became distinctly worse when the 

Allies launched their Oise-Aisne offensive on August 18, and the Ypres-Lys offensive on 

August 19. In the north, on the west, and on the southwest of their far-flung battle lines, 

the Germans were under heavy pressure, to which would soon be added the American attacks 

against the St-Mihiel salient and in the Meuse-Argonne. 

For the sake of brevity and clarity, the Somme offensive narrative is carried to its 

conclusion on November 11, 1918, before discussing closely related operations. 

The operation to outflank the German pOSitions along the Somme began on August 21. 

Byng's Army attacked north of the Somme on a front of about nine miles. In a few hours, 

he had captured the enemy's main line of resistance along the Albert-Arras Railway. The 

following day, that part of Rawlinson's Army which was north of the Somme forced the passage of the Ancre and captured Albert. The British offensive was henceforth to be one of 

the major blows in the series which Marshal Foch was preparing to drive the enemy back 

across the Rhine. On August 22, Marshal Haig issued instructions to his army commanders 

in which he stated: 

The methods which we have followed heretofore in our battles, with limited objectives, when the enemy was strong, are no longer suitable to his present condition. 

The enemy has not the means to deliver counterattacks on an extended scale, nor has 

he the numbers to hold a continuous position against the very extended advance which 

is being directed against him. In order to turn the present situation to account, 

the most resolute offensive is everywhere deSirable. Risks which a month ago would 

have been criminal to incur ought now to be incurred as a duty. It is no longer 

necessary to advance in regular lines and step by step. On the contrary each division should be given a distant objective which must be reached independently of its 

neighbor, and even if one's flank is thereby exposed for the time being. Reinforcements must be directed on points where our troops are gaining ground, not where they 

are checked. 

With a wider purpose, the battle continued. On August 23, the main operation opened 

with a series of strong assaults on a front of over thirty miles, from Chaulnes to the 

vicinity of Arras. Under continued pressure, the enemy drew back to the line of the 

Somme. On August 29, Bapaume fell to the British, and Noyon to the French. On September 

1, the Australians captured Peronne; and on September 2, the Canadians broke the 

Drocourt-Queant switch line and captured the maze of trenches at the junction of that line 

with the Hindenburg system. These important successes, in conjunction with the further 

advance of Humbert's French Third Army north and east of Noyon, forced the Germans to 

evacuate the line of the Somme and the Canal du Nord. By a series of local attacks, 

carried out in the second and third weeks of September, the British Armies of Home, Byng, 

and Rawlinson secured the remainder of the pOSitions required for an attack on the main 

defenses of the Hindenburg Line. 

The line of resistance of the Hindenburg pOSition ran mostly east of the St-Quentin 

Canal; but south ofVendhuile, for a distance of about 8,000 yards, the canal ran through a 

tunnel in which the Germans had anchored barges that furnished living accommodations for 

large numbers of troops. Leading out from the tunnel to the surface were numerous 

passages which provided ready exit to pOSitions east and west of the canal. At the tunnel 

sector, the main German defenses were west of the canal. These defenses consisted of two 

strongly organized and heavily-wired lines of continuous trenches; the first was 1,000 

yards distant from the canal; the second, 2,000 yards distant. 

To this tunnel sector came the American II Corps, with the American 27th and 30th 

Divisions, for partiCipation in the assault on the Hindenburg Line, planned for September 

29. Its mission was to lead the attack on the front of the Australian Corps, break 

through the German positions, and cross the canal. 

- 34-
On the Western Front. at this time. five concentric Allied offensives were either 

under way or about to be launched. from left to right as follows: 

Ypres-Lys 

Somme 

Oise-Aisne 

Aisne-Marne 

Meuse-Argonne 

Fighting was in progress all the way from the North Sea to Switzerland; it was naturally 

more intense wherever the Allies applied the greatest pressure. There was no doubt that 

pressure was being strongly applied in the zone of action assigned to the American II Corps. 

Rawlinson's British Fourth Army. of which the American II Corps formed a part. was to deliver the main blow in its assigned zone. 

On the night of September 23/24. the American 30th Division of the II Corps entered 

that part of the line situated just west of Bellicourt. and took over a front of some 

3.800 yards. about 1.000 yards west of the Hindenburg Line. where the canal was mostly 

underground. On the following night. the American 27th Division entered the line north of 

our 30th Division. and took over a front of about 4.500 yards. Their assigned objectives 

were: for the 30th Division. Bellicourt; for the 27th. Bony. Both Bellicourt and Bony 

were strongly fortified. 

The 30th Division had taken over a sector with a favorable line of departure for the 

main attack on September 29. Its operations on September 27 and 28 were merely to rectify 

and strengthen its lines. The front taken over by the 27th Division. however. was distinctly unfavorable for launching an attack. It was dominated by a German position which 

ran along the crest of an elevation confronting it. Before the 27th Division could carry 

out its orders. it had first to drive the enemy from this commanding position. It attacked 

on September 27 and again on September 28; but desperate German resistance prevented it 

from securing the high ground. although some of its elements did succeed in occupying 

positions on the heights. Thus. on the eve of the main battle. the 27th Division still 

had an unfavorable line of departure. to withdraw its advanced elements would have been a 

complicated task; it was therefore decided not to change the barrage line for the main 

assault on September 29. but to start the attack of the 27th Division an hour before Zero. 

in the hope that the division could force its way forward to the barrage line. The situation of this division was indeed a most difficult one. 

At 5:50 a. m .• on September 29. Rawlinson's Army took up the advance on a front of 

twelve miles. Its right corps quickly crossed the St-Quentin Canal. and by evening had 

gained commanding ground well to the east. In the center. the American 30th Division 

rapidly penetrated the German defenses and captured Bellicourt and Nauroy. On its left. 

the 27th Division had not gained the designated line of departure at Zero hour. Some of 

its units had advanced. but others had not. The artillery barrage was in place more than 

a thousand yards ahead of the infantry; and in the intervening space. German machine guns 

and artillery wrought havoc among the advancing waves of American infantry. On the front 

of the 27th Division. only one of the thirty-nine Allied tanks engaged survived to cross 

the Bellicourt Tunnel. Nevertheless. our troops fought their way forward. and by noon on 

September 29 had reached the German positions on the crest. Small groups broke through 

the defenses of the Hindenburg Line and continued to advance east of Bony to the outskirts 

of Le Catelet and of Gouy. In conjunction with the Australians. the American II Corps had 

taken all of the dominating crest by the evening of September 29. During the night of 

September 30 - October 1. the American II Corps was withdrawn from the line for a short 

rest. By October 5. the British offensive on the Somme front had broken through the 

Hindenburg Line into open country to the east. 

On October 5. the American II Corps reentered the line on the front of Rawlinson's 

Army. and took over a zone east of its former pOSition on the St-Quentin Canal Tunnel. 

- 35-
Three days later, the Annies of Byng and Rawlinson attacked south of Cambrai towards 

Le Cateau, and drove the enemy before them. On the front of the American II Corps, our 

30th Division that day, October 8, captured over 1,500 prisoners and 30 guns. The British 

and American troops pushed forward until by October 10 they held the left (west) bank of 

the Selle River from near Solesmes northwest to the ScheIdt. Our 27th Division relieved 

our 30th on October 12; but by October 16 the 30th Division was again in the line, in the 

right half of the American II Corps zone, ready for the attack of October 17 south of 

Le Cateau. By the night of October 19, the Allies had driven the enemy behind the 

Oise-Somme Canal. In two days of severe fighting against determined opposition the American 27th and 30th Divisions of our II Corps had gained all of their assigned objectives. 

At this stage, on October 21, the American II Corps was relieved. It had been in line 

twenty-six days, had suffered 11,500 casualties, and had partiCipated in all the operations of Rawlinson's Army from Bellicourt to the viCinity of Catillon. 

With blow after blow, the British Somme offenSive drove on to a succession of victories which culminated on November 11, 1918, when the Annistice became effective. 

Ypres-Lys 

August 19-November 11, 1918 

The Ypres-Lys operation was carried out by the Group of Annies of Flanders, consisting of the Belgian Army, the French Army of Belgium, and the British Second Army (Plumer); 

assisted by the British Fifth Army (Birdwood). 

As early as July 26, the Germans had begun to remove ammunition and stores from the 

Lys salient, and by August 5 had withdrawn some of their troops from the tip of the 

salient. On August 19, the opening date of the Ypres-Lys offensive, the British Second 

Army captured Outersteene village and ridge; and the British Fifth Army took Merville opposite the tip of the salient. The British continued their pressure with such effect as 

to force the Germans to retreat along the whole Lys front. By September 6, the Lys salient 

had been wiped out. The American 27th and 30th Divisions, of the II Corps, took part in 

this success. From August 31 to September 2, they fought in the Dickebusch region, south 

ofYpres. 

The Group of Annies of Flanders, under Albert I, King of the Belgians, rapidly became an important factor in the combined Allied operations. On September 28, it began an 

attack on a front of eighteen miles, extending from Kemmel Hill to Dixmude, which in three 

days drove the enemy back from six to nine mUes all along that line. On October 2, the 

Germans began an extensive withdrawal south of the Lys, from Armentieres almost to Arras, 

to shorten their lines west of Lille. On October 14, the Allied attack was renewed from 

Comines to Dixmude, with gains up to four mUes along the entire front. This victory 

forced the enemy to give up his hold on the Belgian coast. The Allies entered Ostende on 

October 17, took Bruges on the 19th, and on the 20th extended their left to the sea at the 

Dutch frontier. 

During the closing days of the advance of the Allies in Flanders, the American 37th 

and 91st Divisions joined King Albert's forces. They arrived on the nights of October 

29/30 and 30/31---the 37th without artillery, and the 91st with the artillery of the American 28th Division in place of its own. They entered the line of General de Boissoudy's 

French Army of Belgium, south of Deynze, and took their pOSitions with the French 128th 

Division between them. Their common objective was the line of the ScheIdt. 

The first attack of these divisions, on October 31, drove the enemy back to a line 

through Cruyshautem Ridge. On the following day, they continued their advance six miles 

to the ScheIdt River. The 37th Division, on the night of November 2/3, bridged the 

ScheIdt and firmly established part of its forces on the eastern bank. Meanwhile, the 91st 

- 36-
Division had reached Audenarde on November 1. where it found the bridge over the ScheIdt 

destroyed and the enemy occupying a commanding position southeast of the town. When its 

efforts to construct bridges failed on the night of November 2/3. it planned to cross on 

the bridges of the 37th Division: but. finding that the movement could not be completed 

before daylight it postponed the crossing to the following night. Both of these divisions 

were relieved on the nights of November 3/4 and 4/5 and withdrew to Thielt. On November 

10. they reentered the line about where they had left it. with orders to cross the ScheIdt 

and advance to the Dendre. When the Armistice took effect. the American 37th and gIst 

Divisions were well east of the ScheIdt. advancing in pursuit of the retreating Germans. 

Oise-Aisne 

August~Nov~berll,1918 

The Oise-Aisne offensive was launched in conjunction with the great drives on both of its 

flanks. and progressed abreast of them. Five French armies participated---those down on the 

right supporting American operations in the Meuse-Argonne region. and those on the left 

aiding the British in their Somme offensive. In order from right to left. the French 

armies were Fifth. Sixth. Tenth. Third. and First. No American troops served in the 

French Fifth or First Armies in this operation. The American 32d Division formed part of 

the French Tenth Army: two other American divisions. the 2Bth and 77th of the III Corps. 

formed part of the French Sixth Army. On the opening day of the Oise-Aisne offensive. the 

front involved therein extended for about ninety miles from Reims westward. through 

Soissons. to the vicinity of Ribecourt. 

The remarkable success attained by the Allies in their Somme offensive. launched on 

August B. caused the French to prepare plans for southward extension of operations to include 

the Oise-Aisne region. On August 12. Marshal Foch issued orders which coordinated these 

Allied offensives more closely and gave them fresh impetus. He expected that his converging 

attacks would force the Germans to withdraw from the Somme along the Peronne---Ham line. 

and to abandon the hilly wooded area east of Noyon and Guiscard. Thus. a difficult obstacle on 

the line of advance of the French Third Army (Humbert) would be removed. 

To the French Tenth Army (Mangin) was assigned the task of striking the main blow. 

which was to initiate the operation. Orders for the attack were issued on August 11: 

Marshal Foch approved them on the following day. On August 15. Mangin's Tenth Army and 

Humbert's Third Army were to attack simultaneously and advance to the heights of Noyon. 

on both sides of the Oise. in two bounds. The first bound. a short one. was to capture by 

surprise the enemy's front rone so as to secure a good line of departure. which would 

allow tanks and artillery to move fOIWard for the assault against the German main pOSition. The second bound. following a day of intensive artillery preparation. was to penetrate the enemy's main line of reSistance at two widely separated points. 

The attack opened vigorously. The French Tenth Army had been heavily reinforced with 

artillery. with light and heavy tanks. and with an army corps detached from the French 

Third Army. The German advance zone fell on August 17/ lB. These preliminary actions were 

followed up on August 20 with a assault on the enemy's main pOSition. in an offensive 

which is considered as one of the most successful launched by the French during the entire 

war. By the night of August 22. the French Tenth Army had overrun the strongly fortified 

German battle pOSition. and had captured some 10.000 prisoners and 100 guns. "Again we 

suffered heavy and irreplaceable losses." said General Ludendorff. "August 20 was another 

black day." 

On August 22. General Petain ordered exploitation of the success of the French Tenth 

Army. to force evacuation of the enemy's defense lines on the Vesle and on the Aisne. The 

German pOSition was a strong one. with deep valleys in the rear which concealed and protected their reserves. and facilitated their preparations for counterattacks. Three fresh 

- 37-
German divisions moved in while the French were completlng their arrangements for the 

attack. 

The French Tenth Army attacked on August 23, ineffectively. Again, on August 29, 

supported by tanks and by an unusually heavy artillery barrage, the Allied infantry attacked all along the line. Only along the Ailette and north of Chavigny could it make any 

gains. 

The German Ninth Army had apparently learned of the impending general attack which 

Mangin was to make on August 29. As soon as the Allied troops began their advance, the 

enemy placed an intense artillery barrage upon them, swept their lines with heavy machinegun fire. Mangin's attack made little headway: nevertheless, it had its effect. The 

commander of the German Ninth Army, feeling unable to resist another such attack in the 

position he then held, that afternoon directed his left wing to withdraw to a position 

running southeast from Juvigny through Leury and Crouy. 

This retirement changed the Situation on the right front of our 32d Division, which 

was then in the front line of the French XXX Corps facing Juvigny. Running south from this 

town is a wide deep Valley. On August 28 and 29, the enemy's main line of resistance in 

front of the 32d Division lay west of this valley. During the night of August 29/30, the 

left flank of the German division opposing the 32d withdrew to the east side of the valley. 

There it extended from the railroad northwest of Juvigny past the western edge of the town 

to the heights south thereof, where it connected with the adjacent German division on its 

left. Strong German outposts remained in the abandoned area, and the town itself was 

strongly held. 

At 3:30 p. m., August 30, the leading brigade of our 32d Division received orders to 

attack. On the extreme right, the troops quickly overcame the enemy's advance posts and 

debouched into the valley. Near the village, well-placed German machine guns made progress 

difficult: nevertheless, our infantry attacked the town from the west and south, repulsed a 

counterattack, and by dark had occupied Juvigny. That night the men of the 32d Division 

dug in, far in advance of the troops on their left and somewhat ahead of those on their 

right, at a critical point on the boundary between two German army corps. 

The capture of Juvigny on August 30 by the American 32d Division breached the enemy's 

front, and contributed greatly to the success of attacks made on August 31 by other elements of the XXX Corps and by the corps on its right. At 4 p. m., August 31, after an 

artillery preparation of four hours, the 32d Division continued the attack, with such success that by the end of that day the left and center of the division held the 

Bethancourt-Terny Road. By its aggressive action, the 32d Division had captured the plateau 

around Terny, from which Allied fire could be concentrated on Laffaux. Allied possession 

of Laffaux would compel the enemy to abandon the line of the Vesle. 

In the foregoing operations, the American 32d Division had been so placed that it 

could render outstanding service, and it had done so at every opportunity. On the night of 

September 1/2, it was withdrawn from the front line. It remained in the French XXX Corps 

second line until September 9, when it received orders to join the American First Army. 

Interest in the Oise-Aisne operation now shifts to the area east of Soissons. To the 

right of Mangin's French Tenth Army was the French Sixth Army, under Degoutte, holding 

along the Vesle River from Braine to Courlandon. The western half of its sector was 

occupied by the American III Corps, with the 77th and 28th Divisions in line from Bazoches 

to Courlandon. Since the cessation of the Aisne-Marne offensive on August 6, these American 

units had essayed only local operations on the Vesle: however, they had been under heavy 

German artillery fire throughout the month of August. 

Confrontlng the American III Corps were elements of the German Seventh Army. After its 

retirement on the night of September 3/4, the line of the German Seventh Army ran along the 

right bank of the Aisne, crossed that river near Oeuilly, extended southeastward to the 

Vesle, and then followed the Vesle towards Reims. 

Patrols from the American III Corps, following up the German retirement, pushed across 

the Vesle on September 4. They encountered such slight reSistance that the entire corps 

- 38-
advanced that afternoon in execution of the operation previously planned for crossing the 

Vesle in force. Its leading elements were directed to seize crossings of the Aisne Canal 

and of the Aisne River. and to establish bridgeheads wherever they might without seriously 

engaging more than a company. The first day's onrush took them nearly half way to the 

Aisne. 

The American 77th and 28th Divisions took part in this aggressive pursuit to the Aisne. 

Without encountering material opposition. the 77th. by the night of September 6. had 

reached a line whose left overlooked the valley of the Aisne and whose right was in touch 

with the German position running from the Aisne through Revillon and Glennes to the Vesle. 

On September 7. this division began a series of daily attacks which it continued until its 

relief on the nights of September 14/15 and 15/16. These attacks. though locally 

successful. failed to break the German line. The 28th Division. in its advance of 

September 4. quickly made contact with the enemy on the heights north of the Vesle. On 

September 6. this division attacked the stubbornly defended plateau southeast of Glennes. 

where it suffered heavy losses but gained no ground. Here it was relieved on the night of 

September 7/8 by the French. The American 28th Division had been in action since the 

beginning of the Champagne-Marne operation on July 15. and had suffered more than 8.500 

casualties. of which 5.000 had occurred along the Vesle and in the Oise-Aisne offensive. 

During this latter period. the 77th Division had suffered more than 4.500 casualties. Upon 

their relief from the Oise-Aisne front. both of these divisions joined the American First Army. 

Thus ends the participation of American divisions in the Oise-Aisne operation. 

St-Mihiel 

September 12-16, 1918 

On July 21. General Pershing had conferred with Generals Foch and Petain and renewed 

his efforts to bring an American army into being. The following day. General Foch 

confirmed in writing his approval of the formation of two American sectors: A combat 

sector in the Chateau-Thierry region. and a quiet sector in the Woevre. extending from 

Nomeny (east of the Moselle) to a point north of St-Mihiel. This quiet sector was to be 

initially built up by the concentration of American divisions not sufficiently trained to 

participate in battle. and by divisions withdrawn from battle for reconstitution. At that 

time. the plan was to have the American First Army. when formed. relieve the French Sixth 

Army north of Chateau-Thierry. On July 24. American GHQ issued orders formally announcing 

the organization of the American First Army. to take effect on August 10. 1918. on which 

date General Pershing assumed command of that army. 

The task of reducing the St-Mihiel salient had been assigned to the American forces 

on July 24 in an interallied conference held at Bombon; however. General Foch could not 

then fIx a date for that operation because. at that time. the Aisne-Marne offensive was in 

full swing. When. on August 8. the latter operation stabilized along the Vesle River. 

General Pershing deCided that the American First Army should concentrate in the St-Mihiel 

region rather than on the Vesle. Marshal Foch concurred. and on August 9 at Sarcus 

directed Generals Pershing and Petain to formulate plans to effect the change. They 

agreed to leave three or four American divisions on the Vesle. and to shift all other 

American troops considered ready for offensive operations to the Woevre region. where the 

American First Army would be formed in preparation for the St-Mihiel operation. The 

tentative plans contemplated that. for this operation. the American First Army would employ 

about fourteen American divisions and the French II ColOnial Corps (three divisions). As 

a result of this change in plans. the American First Army revoked its order of August 9 for 

taking over the Vesle River front from the French Sixth Army. 

The assembly of the American First Army on the St-Mihiel front commenced at once. 

On August 13. First Army Headquarters opened at Neufchateau. where it completed its 

- 39-
organization. Throughout August and during the early part of September, American troops 

from all parts of the Western Front poured into the St-Mihiel region, from the Vesle, from 

the Vosges, and from the training areas in the vicinity of Chaumont. The I Corps moved 

from the Vesle Front, leaving the III Corps to command the three American divisions that 

remained there. Major General Joseph T. Diclanan assumed command of the American IV 

Corps, the headquarters of which was then in administrative control of American troops in the 

St-Mihiel region. The V Corps, which had been formally organized on August 19, passed to 

the command of Major General George H. Cameron, who had succeeded Major General Wright. 

The organization of its headquarters, then in progress, was completed in the St-Mihiel 

region. 

On August 28, headquarters of the American First Army moved to Ligny-en-Barrois, and 

on August 30, 1918, General Pershing took command in the Woevre from Port-sur-Seille 

(east of the Moselle) westward to Watronville (southeast of Verdun), a front formerly held 

by parts of the French Second and Eighth Armies. 

The American army was thus established in a specific area, with a definite job to do; 

but it still lacked the means to carry out its mission. The strength of our troops in 

France at the end of July 1918, nearly 1,250,000 men, was the result of considerable 

increases in overseas shipments. However, the shipping priority assigned to troops in 

May, June and July---prtncipally infantry and machine-gun units---seriously disrupted 

General Pershing's plans for the formation of a well-proportioned American army. He 

lacked artillery, tanks, aviation, and many other types of units needed to round out the 

organization of the American First Army. 

A serious threat to the immediate consummation of General Pershing's plans arose on 

August 30, 1918, when Marshal Foch visited American First Army Headquarters to discuss 

revised plans with General Pershing. At the outset of the conference, Marshal Foch 

reviewed the important changes that had occurred in the Allied military situation since 

the conference at Bombon on July 24. Since that date the Allies had victOriously completed 

their Aisne-Marne offensive. The offensive on the Somme (begun on August 8), that on the 

Oise-Aisne front (started on August 18), and the one in the Ypres-Lys region (launched 

August 19), had each achieved marked success. He believed that the Allies should take 

full advantage of the resulting German disorganization, and proposed specific plans for so 

doing. Without going into detail, it is sufficient to note that the new offensive plans, 

differing materially from those previously agreed upon, required the continued dispersion 

of American combat units. 

General Pershing agreed with the idea of Simultaneous coordinated offensives by the 

French, British, and American forces; but he seriously objected to the manner in which 

these proposed operations had been translated into plans. Why must American units continue 

to be disunited? Marshal Foch stated that, in making his plans, he had sincerely tried 

to avoid dispersion of American units: but he had been unable to do so. If General 

Pershing could solve the difficulty satisfactorily, Marshal Foch would accept the adjustment. 

General Pershing then presented specific alternative plans. The gist of his proposals 

was insistence on consolidation of American units into one or more distinctively American 

armies. Marshal Foch would not acknowledge the feaSibility of these proposals: he believed 

that, if carried into effect, they would complicate an already difficult situation. Both 

held their ground. 

Finally Marshal Foch turned to the American commander with the blunt question: "Do you 

wish to take part in the battle?" It was a moment of high tension, the outgrowth of the 

deCided convictions of two strong men. The decision involved the future operations of 

more than a million Americans. To the question General Pershing replied without hesitation: 

"Most assuredly: but as an American army and in no other way." 

The conference ended with the tender by Marshal Foch of a written statement of his 

military plans. It was thereupon agreed that the decision should be postponed until 

General Pershing could study the matter and submit his solution, which he did the next day, 

August 31, 1918. 

- 40-
In this communication, General Pershing reiterated his concurrence in the idea of an 

early Allied offensive, and expressed his belief that the concentric attacks proposed would 

give the Allies the possibility of a virtually unlimited success. He went on to say: 

There are also a number of pOints which especially affect the American army 

and which, I think, must be given the consideration which the American effort in 

this war warrants. The first of these relates to the method of employing the 

American forces. I can no longer agree to any plan which involves a dispersion 

of our units. This is a matter whose importance is such as to demand ve:ry frank 

discussion. Briefly, American officers and soldiers alike are, after one 

experience, no longer willing to be incorporated in other armies. even though such 

incorporation be by larger units. The older American divisions have encountered 

so much difficulty in their service with the French and British that it is 

inadvisable to consider the return of such divisions to French or British control. 

The same is true of our corps staffs. 

It has been said that the American army is a fiction and that it can not now 

be actually found because it lacks artille:ry and services. Unfortunately this 

lack is evident. but our shortages in this respect are due to the fact that 

America brought over infant:ry and machine-gunners to the virtual exclusion of 

the services and auxiliaries. Permit me also to recall that when this decision 

was made. there was coupled with it a promise that the Allies would undertake to 

provide the necessa:ry services and auxiliaries. and that you yourself have 

repeatedly guaranteed the formation of a real American army. * * * in your capacity 

as Allied Commander-in-Chief, it is your province to deCide as to the strategy of 

operations, and I abide by your decision * * * but I do insist that the American 

army must be employed as a whole * * * and not four or five divisions here and six 

or seven there. 

On receipt of this letter. Marshal Foch at once called Generals Pershing and Petain 

to a conference at his headquarters, for final consideration of the future operations of 

the American forces. The tension which had marked the conference of August 30 was not 

evident during this meeting. The main subject of discussion was how to carty out the 

St-Mihiel operation and, at the same time. prepare for a much more extensive American 

offenSive operation to be executed somewhat later in the Meuse-Argonne region. 

General Pershing said: 

I do not mean to give the impression of any hesitance in undertaking with 

all vigor and enthusiasm that I can muster. the execution of the projects in view. 

I will undertake the St-Mihiel Operation at once and. if humanly possible. on the 

date set. I will also prepare for another operation in whatever sector the Marshal 

might deSignate - I understand this to be west of the Meuse - for the earliest 

date possible. I will undertake the operation there when the salient fight 

[St-Mihiel salient) shall have been finished. I will place eve:ry available man 

in these attacks; eve:rything that is possible will be done to carty them out. 

Marshal Foch replied: 

I have never doubted the sentiments which animate you. I am not surprised. 

therefore. to hear you utter this splendid expression of good will - I admit 

that the program is difficult. 

Mer further discussion, the conference of September 2 ended with decisions in effect 

as follows: (1) the St-Mihiel operation would take place about September 10, against both 

the southern and western faces of the salient. It would be limited: as to objective, to 

the line Vigneulles---Thiaucourt---Regnieville; and as to duration, about three or four 

days. (2) An attack. to extend from the Meuse River on the east to the Argonne Forest, 

inclusive. on the west (later known as the Meuse-Argonne operation), would be carried out 

by the American First Army about September 20-25, with all available American divisions, 

- 41 -
supported on its left by an attack of the French Fourth Anny. Prtor to the Meuse-Argonne 

attack, General Pershing would assume command of the front from Port-sur-Seille westward 

at least as far as the Argonne Forest, about ninety miles. 

This agreement, at long last, firmly fixed the policy of employing the American First 

Anny as a unit: and the assignment to it of a distinctively American zone of operations. 

Thus, it was not until September 2 that the Allied High Command reached a definite 

decision as to the duration and extent of the St-Mihiel operation, and it was distinctly 

subordinated to the much more powerful and important offensive planned for later execution 

by American troops in the Meuse-Argonne region. The St-Mihiel operation is none the less 

an important one, because it was the first in which an American army, as a distinctive 

unit, participated in 1918. 

The salient formed a bastion projecting from the Hindenburg Line. It consisted of two 

main defensive areas. The outer, called the Wilhelm Zone, included three positions, all 

well-organized with a dense network of wire, concrete dugouts. and machine-gun emplacements. The inner area, known as the Schroeter Zone, was effectively protected by barbed 

wire, but had few trenches. Across the base of the salient extended the main fighting 

area. the Michel Stellung. It consisted of two zones. called Michel I and Michel II. 

The Michel I zone contained a strongly organized position: the Michel II Zone. behind 

Michel I, showed little preparation. Four years of occupation had enabled the Germans to 

make wire a predominant feature of their defenses and to use broad belts of it to cover 

their positions. The Americans expected this wire to prove a formidable obstacle for 

their infantIy: and their division commanders had made careful studies of the best way to 

get their troops through it. 

These defense features were German improvements on a naturally strong position, from 

which they had successfully resisted serious attacks earlier in the war. The Germans had 

hung on to this position because it was of great value to them. Offensively, it 

interrupted communication on the main Paris-Toul Railway, as well as on the Canal de l'Est 

between St-Mihiel and Verdun: at the same time, it threatened the entire region from Nancy 

to Bar-Ie-Duc, and from Bar-Ie-Duc to Verdun. Defensively, it directly covered Metz and 

and the Briey iron region. To the Allies, also, this area had great value. They would 

have to gain control of it before they could successfully initiate an offensive, between 

the Meuse and the Argonne Forest, against the enemy's lateral communications. 

The Germans were perfectly aware that their hold on the St -Mihiel salient was 

precarious. As early as June 1918. the French had captured documents which disclosed plans 

for gradual withdrawal of enemy forces from the salient. On September 10, the German 

commander, General Fuchs, issued orders to start retirement by the following day. The 

program for the first day called only for the removal of heavy material. the substitution 

of mobile heavy batteries for some of the unhorsed heavy guns. and preparation to shift 

parts of the line of resistance to the artillery protective pOSition, or, as we would call 

it, the regimental reseIVe line. This order of September 10 prescribed no general 

retrograde movement. 

Assembly of American troops for the assault on the St-Mihiel salient had begun several 

weeks previously. It involved not only the movement of some 600,000 men, together with 

great quantities of artillery, but also the fitting together. for the first time, of all 

the elements of the American First Anny. When the concentration began. an American 

regulating station was established at St-Dizier to supeIVise the supply of the entire 

American First Anny, as well as that of the French Second Anny, with the Is-sur-Tille 

Regulating Station subject to orders of the American regulating officer at St-Dizier. This 

arrangement helped to solve the supply problem, because St-Dizier had facilities to provide 

supplies for a million men. 

The St-Mihiel operation required two practically simultaneous attacks. one on the 

western face of the salient across the Cotes de Meuse. south of Les Esparges: and one from 

the south. through the wooded countIy between the Moselle and Montsec. Between these two. 

a French corps was to attack against the tip of the salient. to follow up and exploit the 

- 42-
success of the attacks on its flanks. French artillery augmented our own untfl the First 

Anny had at its disposal over 3,000 guns. French and British reinforcements in aircraft 

gave us a total of nearly 1,500 planes - the greatest concentration of air power attempted 

up to that time. 

The American I Corps occupied the right of the line, from Pont-a-Mousson to Limey. 

Our IV Corps held the front from Limey west to Xivray-et-Marvoisin. The French II ColOnial 

Corps occupied the line around the tip of the salient. from Xivray-et-Marvoisin to 

Mouilly. The American V Corps. on the left. extended from Mouilly to Watronville. Of the 

three American corps headquarters and nine American divisions in the first line. two corps 

headquarters and four divisions had not previously engaged in offensive combat. 

The St-Mihiel Offensive began at 1:00 a. m. September 12. 1918. with artillery 

preparation fire. which caught the Germans in the process of changing their artillery 

dispositions. disorganized their defenses. and forced their infantry to take over. 

The Americans had hoped to have ample tank support for this attack. However. it 

developed that the British. who were fully engaged along their entire front. could spare 

none of their heavy tanks. and that the French. at that time. could lend us but few of 

their light (Renault) tanks. The infant American Tank Corps here received its initial 

baptism of fire and. though hampered by marshy ground and broad trenches. accomplished. in 

conjunction with the French. more than was expected under the circumstances. Two hundred 

and sixty-seven French light tanks. some manned by French and some by American tank 

battalions. participated in the attack. 

The advance of the American I Corps. on the southern face of the salient. was rapid. 

It began at 5:00 a. m .• September 12. preceded by a rolling barrage. At first it met with 

little opposition. The leading units quickly overran the forward elements of the enemy 

and captured groups of German soldiers as they came out of the shelters into which our 

artillery fire had driven them. Before noon on September 12. the I Corps had captured 

Vieville-en-Haye and Thiaucourt on the army objective. 

To the west of the I Corps. the American IV Corps encountered sterner resistance; but 

before noon on September 12. the German resistance had melted. and the IV Corps reached 

the first phase line. An hour after the initial advance. the French II ColOnial Corps 

came into action against the tip of the salient. and three hours later had taken a large 

part of its first day's objective. In the wne of the American V Corps. on the western 

face of the salient. all front line troops reached their objectives by 7:00 a. m. on 

September 12. 

At the end of the first day's fighting. practically all units of the American First 

Anny had reached the first objectives assigned for the second day. Accordingly. at 7:00 

p. m. on September 12. General Pershing ordered the commanders of the American IV and V 

Corps to push on to Vigneulles during the night of September 12/13. to close the exit from 

the salient and prevent the escape of enemy forces remaining therein. The V Corps sent a 

regiment of its 26th Division rapidly forward to carry out this mission. By 3:00 a. m. on 

September 13. it had reached Vigneulles. and had seized Hattonville. where it joined hands 

with elements of the American 1st Division of the IV Corps. The junction of the American 

26th and 1st DiviSions on September 13 completed the reduction of the St-Mihiel salient. 

On September 13. the American First Anny continued its advance. It ended its attack 

that night. after occupying its assigned objectives along the entire front and pushing 

forward strong reconnaissance detachments to the exploitation line. It had captured some 

15.000 prisoners. 257 guns, and had regained about 200 square miles of French territory. 

During the next three days. French units relieved certain elements of our First Anny. to 

permit their prompt transfer to the Meuse-Argonne front. The American First Anny could, no 

doubt, have made a farther advance in the St-Mihiel area; but it was already committed to 

another and far greater operation in the Meuse-Argonne. 

- 43-
Meuse-Argonne 

September 26-November 11. 1918 

The influential part that the American offensive in the Meuse-Argonne region played in 

bringing the war to a successful conclusion should be considered in its proper relation to 

other Allied offensives. which were being conducted all along the Western Front. as 

follows: 

Ypres-Lys Under Belgian command 

Somme Under British command 

Oise-Aisne Under French command 

Meuse-Argonne Under American command 

When the Meuse-Argonne battle started on September 26. the American First Army had 

won its spurs in the capture of the St-Mihiel salient. From then on. there was no question 

in the minds of our Allies or of our enemies that the Americans could and would cany out a 

successful offensive. When. where. how fast and how far. were the principal questions that 

concerned the German High Command. The fact that the offensive was directed against one of 

their strongest and most sensitive points forced the Germans to put everything they could 

into stopping the American First Army in the Meuse-Argonne. 

The terrain on which the American attack was to be delivered was varied. rugged. and 

well adapted to the extensive scheme of defense with which the enemy had supplemented his 

naturally strong positions. Save for minor fluctuations. there had been little change 

along this part of the front since the early months of the war. 

A system of railways. connected with the Metz lines to the east and with important 

arterial lines to the north. served this region. The retention of this area was necessazy 

to cover the Briey iron region: and. above all. the Metz-Sedan Railway. For the supply. 

evacuation and strategic movement of her armies in northern France. Germany used two main 

railway systems. one in the north through Liege. the other in the south. The southern 

system. which included the Metz---Sedan---Mezieres main line. had to be protected at all 

costs. Rupture of the southern rail system. before the German armies could withdraw from 

western France and Belgium. would complete their ruin. 

Organized German positions that confronted the American First Army in the MeuseArgonne region ran generally as follows: 

(1) Ruisseau de Forges. Malancourt. Avocourt. Vauqois. Boureuilles. point north of 

La Harazee: with an intermediate pOSition traversing Cuisy and Cheppy. 

(2) Montfaucon. Epinonville and westward to the Argonne Forest. where the entire eastern 

edge of the bluffs was fortified. 

(3) Kriemhild-Stellung or Hindenburg Line through Haraumont east of the Meuse. CuneI 

Heights. heights of the Bois des Loges. Grandpre: with a switch line from the Bois 

de Romagne to Fleville. connecting with the Argonne defenses near Cornay. 

(4) Freya-Stellung extending along the Barricourt Ridge through Bayonville. Sivzy-IesBuzancy to Thenorgues. 

Each of these German positions. except the fourth. was skillfully organized in depth. 

covered with elaborate belts of barbed wire. and supported by concrete machine-gun and 

artlllezy emplacements which provided alternative protected positions for those weapons. 

All that could be done to improve observation posts. signal communications. routes. trails. 

and light railways to aSSist the defense. received meticulous attention by German pioneer 

and engineer troops before and throughout the operations. In addition to the fully 

developed positions above mentioned were other partly organized defense lines which were 

intensively improved as need for their use increased. With Turkey. Bulgaria. and Austria 

on the verge of collapse. Germany's only remaining hope was to stave off defeat by dogged 

fighting on French soil until the Allies would grant favorable peace terms. Thus. both 

political and militazy considerations required the German forces to defend their MeuseArgonne pOSitions with the utmost strength and vigor. 

- 44-
The front on which the American First Anny was to attack, then held by the French 

Second Anny, extended from Regneville, on the Meuse, west and slightly southwest to the 

vicinity of La Harazee near the Aisne. From that point, the French Fourth Anny continued 

the Allied front westward about twenty-two miles to the vicinity of Prunay. Its right 

boundary ran along the western edge of the Argonne Forest from La Harazee north to 

Grandpre. The operations of the American First Anny and the French Fourth Anny were to be 

coordinated under agreement between General Petain and General Pershing. 

To carry out his plan, it was necessary for General Pershing to maintain the existing 

American front from the Moselle to the Meuse and, in addition, to take over the front then 

occupied by the French Second Anny from the Meuse westward to the right of the French 

Fourth Anny near La Harazee. This shift involved the secret movement of about 820,000 men 

and vast quantities of munitions. 

The initial concentration involved the movement of fifteen American divisions and 

large numbers of corps and army troops. Seven of the fifteen divisions were involved in 

the St -Mihiel operation, three were undergoing sector training in the Vosges, three were 

in the Soissons region, one was in the Haute-Marne training area, and one was near Bar-leDuc. Many of the necessary artillery, air service, and tank units, as well as other 

indispensable auxiliaries, were to participate in the St-Mihiel operation: consequently, 

until the success of that operation was assured, they could not be diverted to the MeuseArgonne area. The St-Mihiel offensive had been under way less than forty-eight hours when 

movement of reserve divisions and army artillery from that area to the Meuse-Argonne began. 

Other artillery and tank units soon followed: and, after September 13, the flow of troops 

westward was continuous. Movements were made at night without lights. Only three main 

roads, each crowded to capacity, were available: all three were deep with mud and in need 

of constant repair. Rain fell, the weather was cold, traffic jams caused vexatious delays, 

and many of the troops got what little sleep they could without shelter. In spite of 

difficulties, the schedule of movements was maintained. The American III Corps assumed 

tactical control in its sector on September 14: our I and V Corps in their respective 

sectors on September 21. 

The American First Anny was reinforced by the French II ColOnial Corps and the French 

XVII Corps, of three divisions each, and by the French 5th Cavalry Division. DefiCiencies 

in tanks, aviation, artillery, and other special formations were made up by the French and 

British to the limit of their strained capacities. Many regiments of French artillery 

augmented American army and corps artillery, and numerous units of French tanks and air 

service were placed at General Pershing's disposal. French hospitals in the rear areas 

were shared by the American First Anny. 

Those who desire to learn in detail about the difficulties encountered and overcome 

during preparations for the initial assault, are referred to the documents published in 

this series under "Meuse-Argonne: Concentration"; and to the final reports of the 

commanders and staff officers most directly concerned, particularly those of G-3 and G-4, 

GHQ, AEF, and these of the American First Anny. 

The Allied forces in the Meuse-Argonne region were aligned, shortly prior to the 

opening of the offensive, as follows: 

On the right, east of the Meuse - The French Eighth Anny. 

In the center, between the Meuse and the Aisne - The French Second Anny, which was 

gradually replaced, with the utmost secrecy, by elements of the American First Anny 

before the attack was launched. 

On the left, from La Harazee westward - The French Fourth Anny. 

In accordance with the directive issued by Marshal Foch on September 3 and that of 

General Petain on September 6, the task of the American First Anny was to drive the enemy 

back of the Sedan-Mezieres line before severe winter weather would make offensive operations 

too difficult. The role of the French Eighth Anny on the right was not aggressive: that of 

the French Fourth Anny on the left was to attack aggressively in conjunction with the 

- 45-
Amelican First Army. On September 22, the Amelican First Army took over actual command of 

the zone of the French Second Army. On the same day, General Petain announced September 26 

as the day on which the offensive would be launched. 

By the night of September 25/26, the Amelican First Army was ready for battle. It 

consisted, at this time, of six corps, in order from light to left as follows: The Amelican 

N Corps, French II ColOnial Corps, and the French XVII Corps, all east of the Meuse, with 

the mission of holding the front from near Port-sur-Seille to Regneville on the Meuse, and 

making raids. The Amelican III, V and I Corps, all west of the Meuse, ready to deliver 

the main attack towards Buzancy and Stonne in an effort to pierce the main German defense 

pOSition. This is the force with which we are pIincipally concerned. It was to operate 

within the following zone of action: 

Right boundary: The Meuse River (exclusive). 

Left boundary: La Harazee---Binarville---Lancon---Grand-Ham (all exclusive)---

Grandpre---Boult-aux-Bois---Chatillon-sur-Bar (all inclusive). The plan of operations 

contemplated: 

(1) An advance often miles and penetration of the German third pOSition, to force evacuation of the Argonne Forest and insure junction with the French Fourth Army at Grandpre. 

(2) A further advance of about ten miles to the line Stenay---Le Chesne, to outflank the 

enemy's position along the Aisne River, in front of the French Fourth Army, and to 

clear the way for our advance on Sedan or Mezieres. 

(3) An operation to clear the heights east of the Meuse River, either by an attack in an 

easterly direction, following penetration of the Kriemhild-Stellung pOSition near 

CuneI: or by an attack northward along the east bank of the Meuse: or by a combination 

of these two attacks. 

The above plans, with only minor modifications, were carned out. To keep within the 

bounds appropliate for this introduction, our discussion of how these plans were executed 

will be limited to the operations of corps and higher units. 

Meuse-Argonne, First Phase 

September 26 to October 3, 1918 

The Amelican First Army opened the Meuse-Argonne offensive with a general artillery 

preparation along its entire front at 2:30 a. m. on September 26. Harassing and interdiction fIres had been begun three hours previously by the Amelican First Army and by the 

French Fourth Army on its left: at 5:30 a. m., the Amelican infantry began its advance. 

The Amelican III Corps, on the light, carned the enemy's second pOSition, advanced to the 

general line Dannevoux-Nantillois, and by the end of the first day held the left bank of 

the Meuse from Forges to the Bois des Moliaux. Our V Corps, in the center, was held south 

of Montfaucon by enemy fire, so that its front extended generally northwest to the vicinity 

oflvoiry and thence southwest to the outskirts of Very. On the left, our I Corps 

advanced down the valley of the Aire through Varennes ahnost to La Forge: however, its 

dlive through the Argonne Forest was checked after an advance of about a mile and a quarter. 

On September 27/28 the First Army continued its attack in the face of stiffer 

resistance, hampered by flanking fire from the Argonne Forest. The III Corps occupied the 

Bois de Dannevoux, Bois de la Cote Lemont, and Bois de Blieulles. The V Corps captured 

Montfaucon and pushed forward to the line Nantillois-Tronsol Farm (east of Exermont). The 

I Corps advanced down the Aire Valley to Apremont: but it made only small gains in the 

Argonne Forest farther west. 

September 29-0ctober 3. The Germans, having reinforced their front with new 

divisions, succeeded in delaying our progress beyond the general line: Bois de la Cote 

Lemont---Nantillois---Tronsol Farm---Apremont---Pont-a-L'Aune---Moulin de l'Homme-Mort 

(southeast of Binarville). The First Army reinforced its own front and changed a number of 

- 46-
its front-line divisions in a series of shifts that involved the movement of about 150.000 

men into or out of the battle. 

At this time the Germans had three particular strongholds that had to be overcome. 

They were: (1) CuneI Heights. protected on the east by German artillery fire from east of 

the Meuse. and on the west by similar fire from the heights of BOis de Romagne; (2) heights 

of Bois de Romagne. protected by fire from CuneI Heights and from the Argonne; (3) the 

eastern edge of the Argonne Forest. particularly in the Chatel-Chehery and Cornay regions. 

In addition. the enemy had a secondary position extending from the heights of the Bois de 

Romagne to Fleville. 

Meuse-Argonne, Second Phase 

October 4 to 31, 1918 

October 4-7. The First Army resumed its attack at 5:25 a. m. on October 4 without 

artillery preparation. but preceded by a barrage which destroyed most of the enemy's 

communications between his corps and lower units. The III Corps. on the right. captured 

the Bois de Fays; and the V Corps. in the center. took Gesnes; but flanking fire of the 

enemy from east of the Meuse. and violent counterattacks. prevented further progress. On 

the left. the I Corps reached its objective in the hills north and east of Exermont and 

pushed on to Fleville; but failed in its efforts to take the heights rest of Romagne-sousMontfaucon. West of the Aire. gains were slight. On October 5. the attack was renewed 

against violent resistance. It was then decided to extend the active front by use of the 

French XVII Corps east of the Meuse. on the right of American III Corps. 

West of the Meuse on October 6. American troops drove a salient into the German lines 

between the Bois de Nancy and Apremont towards Fleville. Following up this advantage. I 

Corps attacked the western slopes of the Argonne Forest on October 7 and captured Hill 

180. Hill 223. Chatel-Chehery and the east slope of Hill 244. While this bitter fighting 

was in progress. German peace proposals were being submitted to President Wilson in 

Washington. 

October 8-11. In preparation for the attack east of the Meuse. First Army transferred 

the American 29th and 33d Divisions to the French XVII Corps. The French XVII Corps began 

its attack against the heights east of the Meuse at 4:45 a. m. on October 8; advanced on 

October 8. 9 and 10; repulsed a counterattack on the 11th. and then consolidated its gains. 

troops farther east. for the time being. held their existing positions. 

West of the Meuse. the First Army. continued its attacks on October 8 and 9. after 

having bombarded the enemy's positions for nineteen and a half hours. The V Corps drove 

forward to the German third position (the Kriemhild Stellung or Hindenburg Line) along a 

front extending from the Bois de CuneI to Fleville. Our I Corps bored into the Argonne 

Forest with such effect that at 1 p. m. on October 9 the Germans began evacuation of the 

entire forest south of the Aire River. The French Fourth Army. on our left. occupied 

Grand-Ham on October 9. thus bringing its right abreast of our left. While the Germans 

were completing their evacuation of the Argonne Forest on October 10 and 11. the American 

First Army continued its advance to positions from which it could assault the Hindenburg 

Line between Brieulles-sur-Meuse and Grandpre. 

October 12-26. The American First Army. now more than a million strong. was conducting 

various operations over such a wide front that control was increasingly cumbersome. The 

American Second Army was. therefore. officially established on October 12. and Major General 

Robert L. Bullard assumed command thereof. Major General Hunter Liggett became commander 

of the American First Army on October 16. Remaining in the American First Army after 

organization of the Second Army. were the following corps. from right to left: 

French XXXIII Corps: From Fresnes-en-Woevre to the region of Damloup. 

French XVII Corps: From Damloup to a point on the Meuse west of Brabantsur-Meuse. 

- 47-
American III Corps: West of the Meuse. prolonging the front westward to 

southeast of Romagne-sous-Montfaucon. 

American V Corps: Extending this line to Sommerance. 

American I Corps: Holding the sector on our extreme left. along the Aire River 

to just south of Grandpre. where it connected with the right of the French Fourth 

Army. 

Many readjustments of corps and division boundaries were necessary. along practically 

the entire front of the American First Army. In order to consolidate and strengthen it 

before renewing the attack. On October 12 and 13, the First Army effected the necessary 

reorganization. On October 14. while the French XXXIII Corps held its positions east of 

the Meuse, the other corps of the First Army renewed the attack. and occupied part of 

CuneI and the woods east and north thereof. as well as Romagne-sous-Montfaucon. Cote DameMarte. Bois de Gesnes. and St-Juvin, 

On October 15. the American First Army made some progress west of the Meuse in the 

woods and hills between Romagne-sous-Montfaucon and Landres-et-St-Georges; and on the 16th. 

the I Corps. attacking in conjunction with the French Fourth Army on its left. occupied 

Grandpre temporarily. East of the Meuse. the French XVII Corps improved its position by 

gaining a foothold on the heights of Bois de la Grande-Montagne. On October 17/18. the 

First Army consolidated and organized its front line positions. On October 19. systematic 

bombardment of German machine-gun nests. occupied lines of resistance. reserve positions. 

and artillery emplacements continued along the III and V Corps fronts. Continuing the 

attack, October 22 to 24. the American III and V Corps captured the heights of CuneI and 

the Bois de Banthevi11e. East of the Meuse. the French XVII Corps gained the heights of 

Bois d'Etrayes and of Bois Belleau, During the next two days the First Army continued to 

consolidate its positions. and the French XVII Corps improved its situation by means of 

strong local attacks. 

Meanwhile. General Pershing. conforming to Marshal Foch's new plans for a general 

offenSive. had issued orders on October 21 for the American First Army to be ready about 

October 28. to carry out its plans for an assault against Buzancy and the heights east 

thereof. This operation was to be part of a combined maneuver in which the French Fourth 

Army. on the left of the American First Army. would secure the Le Chesne region, rapidly 

and in force, with a view to cutting the Carignan---Sedan---Mezieres Railroad. 

October 27-31. The I Corps completed its occupation of Grandpre on October 27 and 

gained a foothold on the high ground east and northeast of Talma Farm. For the next four 

days. the First Army continued its preparations to renew the attack. On its extreme right. 

the French XXXIII Corps was withdrawn from the First Army area, and the front it had 

previously held was taken over by the French XVII Corps, which extended its right to the 

east for this purpose. 

By the night of October 31 /November 1. the First Army was ready. with four corps In 

line from right to left as follows: 

French XVII Corps. consisting of three French and three American divisions. 

east of the Meuse between La Wavrille and the river. where it was to hold in 

place. The sector on its right was held by the American Second Army. 

American III Corps, west of the Meuse from the vicinity of Vilosnes-surMeuse to CuneI Heights. It was to advance to the CuneI Heights---Romagnesous-Monfaucon area to seize the high ground north and east of Andevanne, 

and assist the advance of our V Corps on its left by outflanking Le Fey Bois 

from the east. 

American V Corps, on the left of our III Corps. It was to attack along its 

entire front to capture the edge of the Bois-de-Barricourt and the heights 

northeast of Bayonville-et-Chennery. and thereby cause a rupture in the 

enemy's main line of resistance. 

American I Corps, on the extreme left. It had the high ground south of 

- 48-
Thenorgues as its immediate objective, so as to gain a position from which 

to advance on Boult-aux-Bois. 

The left boundary of the American First Army for the forthcoming attack was: 

Grandpre road from Talma to Boult-aux-Bois passing through Bois de Bas and Bois de 

Briquenay. On its left was the French Fourth Army. 

Meuse-Argonne, Third Phase 

November 1-11, 1918 

The First Army opened the third phase of its attack with an artillery preparation 

beginning at 3:30 a. m. on November 1. Two hours later, the infantry began its advance 

between CuneI Heights and Grandpre, with the V Corps making the main effort towards 

Barricourt Ridge on a front extending from the north edge of Bois de Bantheville to 

St-Georges. The V Corps, assisted on its right by the III Corps and on its left by the I 

Corps, broke through the enemy's last organized defensive position, the Freya Stellung, 

gained the Barricourt Ridge, and captured the heights northeast of Bayonville-et-Chennery. 

On the right, the III Corps occupied Brieulles-sur-Meuse, Clery-Ie-Grand, the woods east of 

Chassogne Farm, the south slope of Cote 243, and the northeast edge of La Carpiere Bois 

(half a mile north of Andevanne). The right of our I Corps occupied Imecourt; but on the 

I Corps left there was not much progress. On the afternoon of November 1, German GHQ 

ordered the German Third and Fifth Armies to withdraw; and at 8:20 p. m. the next day, it 

ordered the Group of Armies von Gallwitz, in front of the American First Army, to withdraw 

all of its troops to the east of the Meuse. 

On November 2, west of the Meuse, the First Army maintained contact with the retiring 

enemy. The III Corps occupied Clery-Ie-Petit, reached the Meuse River east thereof, and 

cleared the Bois de Babiemont, Les Dix-Jours, and Villers-devant-Dun; it also assisted the 

V Corps in occupying the Bois de la Folie. The V Corps occupied Tailly. The I Corps 

advanced rapidly in pursuit of the enemy through Champigneulle---Bois des Loges---Beffu-etle-Morthomme---Verpel---Thenorgues---Briquenay---the western part of Bois de Thenorgues---

and Harricourt. East of the Meuse, the French XVII Corps sent out reconnaissance patrols 

in preparation for an advance. 

On November 3, at 6 a. m., First Army artillery began shelling with long range guns in 

preparation for the attack prescribed in its Field Orders No. 98 of the preceding day. The 

III Corps troops reached the Meuse from a point south of Brieulles-sur-Meuse to 

Villefranche, occupied the heights south of Halles, and sent patrols across the river north 

of Brieulles-sur-Meuse. The V Corps thrust forward its right through Nouart and Tailly to 

Beauclair and Le Champy-Bas. The I Corps, on the left, continued its pursuit to a position north of Fosse---Les Tarones Farm---St-Pierremont---Verrteres---Brieulles-sur-Bar---

Chatillon-sur-Bar. East of the Meuse, the French XVII Corps directed its efforts against 

the Borne de Cornouiller. 

On November 4. the First Army advanced towards the Meuse and began to establish 

bridgeheads in the III Corps sector. The I Corps occupied Vaux-en-Dieulet, Sommauthe, 

Osches, Bois de Sy, and Les Petites-Armoises. East of the Meuse, the French XVII Corps 

made progress against determined resistance. 

On November 5, the First Army occupied positions overlooking the Meuse in the III and 

V Corps zones of action. Its right crossed the river and occupied positions extending from 

Bois de Chatillon to Milly. The I Corps continued to pursue the retreating Germans; on the 

next day, it reached the left bank of the Meuse and sent patrols into Villers-devantMouzon and Remilly-sur-Meuse. East of the Meuse, on November 6, headquarters of the 

French II Colonial Corps exchanged places with that of the French XVII Corps, whose front 

at that time had advanced to the general line: Fresnes-en-Woevre---Mandre Farm---Damloup 

---Bezonvaux---Beaumont---Bois d'Ormont---Bois d'Etrayes---La Borne de Coumouiller---

point south of Sivry-sur-Meuse and Vilosnes-sur-Meuse. The German GHQ on November 6 asked 

- 49-
Marshal Foch for an annistice conference. 

On November 7, the First Army continued to clear out the enemy from rest of the Meuse, 

which it then dominated along its entire front with its extreme left on the heights south 

and southwest of Sedan. East of the Meuse, the French II Colonial Corps and part of the 

American III Corps progressed rapidly. The French II Colonial Corps, then consisting of 

two French and three American divisions, occupied Haraumont, Hill 370 in the Bois de la 

Grande-Montagne, La Vaux-Nonette, Hill 398 (North of Solferino Fann) and Bois de Bugny-Fays. 

Our III Corps occupied Bois du COITol, Lion-devant-Dun, and positions north and east of 

Sassey-sur-Meuse. On the night of November 7/8, German representatives asked that 

hostilities cease immediately. 

In November 8, the enemy slowly withdrew north from the Meuse. The First Army 

completed its occupation of heights east of the river and south of Lion-devant-Dun with 

troops from the French II Colonial and American III Corps. West of the Meuse, the V Corps 

was preparing to cross the river, and also to take over part of the front of the I Corps, 

which was scheduled to come out of the line and move to an area in the rear. The new 

left boundary was: Parfondrupt (inclusive)---Conflans (exclusive)---Tannay---Stonne---

Mouzon---Carignan (all inclusive)---Florenville (exclusive) - effective after relief of 

the American I Corps. The French IX Corps, on the right of the French Fourth Army, began 

the relief of I Corps units west of the new boundary on November 8. 

On November 9, east of the Meuse, the French II Colonial Corps occupied Manheulles---

Moranville---La Wavrille---Hill238 west ofVille-devant-Chaumont---and the Theinte River 

from Moirey northward to Peuvillers. At this latter place, patrols from the American III 

troops extended this front farther north by an advance to the northern edge of the Bois de 

Jametz, Remoiville, and to a point one kilometer northeast of Channois. Our III Corps 

also crossed the Meuse at Sassey-sur-Meuse and entered Mouzay. The V Corps was engaged in 

relieving units of our I Corps. 

On November 10, relief of I Corps units was completed, and I Corps relinquished 

command at 6 a. m. to the V Corps. The latter took over the former I Corps front west of 

the Meuse between Mouzon and Pont-Maugis: and it also began crossing the river west of 

Pouilly and east of the Bois de l'Hospice. III Corps units crossed the river at Sasseysur-Meuse and Dun-sur-Meuse, and occupied Baalon---La Jardinelle Farm---part of Stenay---

and nearly all of the Foret de Woevre. On the right, the French II Colonial Corps occupied 

Abaucourt---Le Grand-Cognon---Ville-devant-Chaumont---Chaumont-devant-Damvillers---

Gibercy---and Damvillers. 

On November II, First Army troops continued to cross the Meuse and to move eastward 

until 11 a. m., at which time the Armistice became effective. The Army stopped on the general 

line: Fresnes-en-Woevre---Grimaucourt---Abaucourt---Ville-devant-Chaumont---Chaumontdevant -Damvillers---Peuvillers---J ametz---Remoiville---Baalon ---south exit of Stenay---

Meuse River---Autreville---Moulins---Meuse River---Pont-Maugis. On this front, the 

American First Army began to organize in depth in preparation for further advance. Its 

part in the American final offensive was over. 

During its life as a combat unit, the American First Army engaged 43 enemy divisions 

with a fighting strength of 470,000 men. These were opposed by 22 American and 6 French 

divisions having an approximate combat strength of 500,000. Prisoners captured by the 

First Army numbered 26,000 and 874 German cannon and over 3,000 machine guns were captured. 

The First Army inflicted approximately 100,000 casualties upon the enemy while suffering 

an estimated 117,000 itself. 

American Units with the French Fourth Anny - Meuse-Argonne 

As early as September 14, General Petain had sought the assistance of American divisions in the approaching operations of the French Fourth Army. General Pershing, on 

September 23, deSignated the 28 and 36th Divisions for seIVice with the French, even though 

the American First Army had need for more fresh divisions than were available. 

- 50-
The American 2d Division, after completion of its share in the St-Mihiel operation, 

moved to Toul for a few days of rest and recuperation. On September 28, the division 

moved to the vicinity of Souain and Suippes, in the rear area of the French XXI Corps and 

entered the reserve of the French Fourth Army, which was attacking between the Argonne 

Forest and Reims. The division began, on the night of September 30/0ctober I, relief of 

French units on a three-kilometer front extending east and west of Sommepy railroad 

station. With the 4th Marine Brigade in the front line and the 3d InfantIy Brigade in 

reserve, the diviSion took over command of its front on October 2. On that day and the 

night of October 2/3, the division maneuvered into more favorable positions, and on October 

3,4, and 5, it attacked, captured the Blanc-Mont Ridge, and secured a position extending 

from about quarter of a mile south of Hill 160 to a mile south of St-Etienne-a-Arnes. 

The American 36th Division, after completing its share in the St-Mihiel operation, was 

in army reserve until attached to the French Fourth Army on October 4. Its 71st InfantIy 

Brigade moved to the vicinity of Sommepy, where it was attached to our 2d Division on 

October 6, and, on the night of October 6/7, occupied that part of the front extending 

from three kilometers west of Orfeuil to half a mile southeast of St-Etienne-a-Arnes. On 

October 7, the brigade assumed command on that front. The following day, with liaison 

battalions of our 2d Division on its right and left, the 71st InfantIy Brigade attacked 

towards Machault and captured St-Etienne-a-Arnes. On October 9, it continued to advance 

northward. Meanwhile, the remainder of the 36th Division (less artillery and engineer 

units retained by the American First Army) moved up, and on October 10 completed the relief 

of the 2d Division in the Blanc-Mont sector. 

On the night of October 10/ II, the Germans began to withdraw, relentlessly pursued by 

elements of our 36th DiviSion through Machault on October II, through Dricourt on October 

12, and to the Aisne River on October 13, on a front extending from Attlgny (exclusive) to 

Givry (inclusive). During the next two weeks, the 36th Division extended its front to both 

east and west. It captured Forest Farm and cleared the bend of the Aisne about Rilly-auxOies on October 27, and occupied a line from a mile and a quarter west ofVoncq to half a 

mile west of Forest Farm. The next day, this division was ordered to rejoin the American 

First Army. 

When the American 2d Division was relieved on October 10 by our 36th Division, its 

artillery and engineers remained in the Blanc-Mont sector to support the 36th. The 2d 

Division, less detachments, moved into reserve pOSitions and later into training areas. 

On October 21, this diviSion, less artillery and engineers, was ordered to rejoin the 

American First Army. 

During the period September 26 to October 8, 1918, three regiments of the 93d Division 

took part in the operations of the IX Corps, French Fourth Army. The 369th Infantry Regiment was attached to the French 161st Division; the 371st and 372d Infantry Regiments, to 

the French 157th Division. The American 93d Division was composed of colored troops. For 

details of the operations of the above-mentioned regiments, the reader is referred to 

compilations covering the Oise-Aisne and Meuse-Argonne operations. 

The American Second Anny in the Meuse-Argonne 

Organization of the American Second Army, begun on September 9, 1918, was formally 

announced by GHQ, AEF, on October 10. Two days later, Major General Robert L. Bullard 

assumed command of this army and of a defensive sector in Lorraine. with the French Eighth 

Army on its right and the American First Army on its left. 

On November I, General Pershing issued instructions on the course to be followed by 

the Second Army in the event of a German retirement on its front. Because of the Austrian 

Armistice. new dispositions were being ended by the enemy between the Meuse and Moselle 

Rivers. General Pershing, on November 5, ordered the Second Army to advance between the 

Moselle River and Etang de Lachaussee towards Gorze and Chambley, in anticipation of a 

probable enemy withdrawal which, in fact, got under way the next day. 

- 51 -
At this time, the Second Army had three corps in line, from right to left as follow: 

American VI Corps--Port-sur-Seille to the east edge of the BOis des Rappes, with orders to 

hold in place and maintain contact with the enemy by patrols: American IV Corps---East edge 

of Bois des Rappes to Bois des Haravillers, to advance toward Vionville: French XVII Corps 

---Bois des Haravillers to Fresnes-en-Woevre, to advance on Conflans and conform to the 

movements of the American First Army on its left. 

At 7 a. m., on November 10, the Second Army attacked. The VI Corps, east of the 

Moselle, drove back enemy outposts and occupied BOis de Frehaut, Bois de la VOivrotte, and 

Bois de Cheminot. The IV Corps, in the center, pushed forward to a general line extending 

from Bois des Haravillers to Les Hauts-Journaux Farm. The French XVII Corps, on the left, 

occupied Bois de Marville and Bois les Hautes-Epines, entered Marcheville-en-Woevre, and 

penetrated the enemy position in the Bois d'Harville. On November 11, the advance of the 

VI Corps was halted by the fire of enemy artillery and machine guns. The IV Corps 

approached the Bois Bonsell and the quarry west of Rembercourt, and attacked Mon Plaisir 

Farm. The French XVII Corps had occupied Butgneville, St-Hilafre, and Chateau et Ferme 

d'Aulnois, when the armistice became effective at 11 a. m. 

Summaries of the foregoing operations will be found in General Pershing's final 

report: in the final report of G-3, GHQ, AEF, and in records of the American First and 

Second Armies that pertain to the St-Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives, all published in 

this series. 

Finally, we desire to bring to the reader's attention several categories of documents 

not heretofore mentioned. These include: The Armistice and Subsequent Events. The 

American Third Army, formally organized on November 15, 1918, under Major General 

Joseph T. Dickman, began to cross the German frontier on December 1, for occupation duty.

ORGANIZATION OF THE AMERICAN 

EXPEDITIONARY FORCES 

The first document in this grouping is the report of the Baker Board. This Board had 

been charged with the misSion of studying and reporting such factors abroad as would influence the organization, training, transportation, operations, supply, and administration 

of an American expeditionary force operating on foreign soU. 

The second document of the grouping is General Pershing's letter to the Adjutant 

General, July 10, 1917, wherein he sets forth a project for the organization offorces to 

be sent to France. This is followed by a detailed report on the organization of the 

A. E. F., submitted in compliance with the instructions of the Chief of Staff, A. E. F., 

February 12, 1919.

• • • • • • • • • • 

The Mission left Washington. D. C .. May 29. 1917. • • • 

The members of the Mission who proceeded via Halifax held daily sessions for the purpose of giving the Mission cohesion and dividing up the work of observation with the view 

to obtaining in the shortest space of time possible. the largest amount of useful infonnation. 

The Mission was divided into six sections. as follows: 

General Staff: 

Field Artillery: 

Infantry: 

Cavalry: 

Engineers: 

Quartennaster Corps: 

Col. Wm. S. Graves 

Cols. C. P. Summerall. D. E. Aultman and 

Major M. E. Locke 

Cols. M. L. Hersey. Graves. Lt. Col. H. E. Ely 

and Major G. S. Simonds. Capt. J. G. 

Quekemeyer. Cav .• joined the infantry 

section for a portion of the trip. 

Lt. Cols. E. D. Andersen and Kirby Walker. Col. 

Walker also studied the question ofremounts. 

Lt. Col. S. A. Cheney 

Col. Chauncey B. Baker and Major F. A. 

Ellison. U. S. R. Capt. Quekemeyer joined 

the Quartennaster section for a portion of 

the trip. 

The observations of the various sections consisted in: 

1. Discussions with officers perfonning various functions in the English and French 

Annies corresponding to those in which the Mission was engaged in studying. 

2. Studying organization. regulations. and methods from written and printed literature furnished the Mission at various stations. 

3. Visits to training establishments. schools. and other military establishments in 

England. with the British forces in France. with the French forces in France. and schools 

in the neighborhood of Paris. 

4. Observations of operations covering organization, training, transportation, 

supply. and administration with the British and French Annies, on the lines of communication, and at the front. 

After making the observations above referred to it was deemed appropriate to hold 

consultations with the officers of General Pershing's staff, occupied in similar investigations. and who will be engaged in conducting the operations of the United States Anny in 

France. Accordingly. early opportunity was taken by the head of the Mission while still in 

England to arrange with General Pershing for a series of conferences with the view to affording the forces in France the benefit of the unusual opportunities granted the Mission 

by both the British and French authorties for intimate observation. 

• Letter referred to is printed in this volume under date, May 28, 1917.

The following indicates the observations and conclusions of the various sections of the 

Mission: 

1. Quartermaster Corps 

The quartermaster section of the Mission observed the various functions of that corps 

at various schools and depots in England; depots, schools, shops and training establishments on the lines of communication, and operations at the front with both the British and 

French forces in France. 

The conclusions arrived at, so far as the Q. M. Corps is concerned, are as follows: 

OrgWlization.-- In order that the organization of the corps shall satisfactorily 

provide for all the duties of the corps, it is thought that certain minor modifications 

and extensions should be made in its organization. The organization of the quartermaster 

service in the British and French Armies, whilst procuring the same ends, attain those ends 

through different methods. 

The functions of the quartermaster service in the British Army are highly centralized 

and the operations are conducted under an elaborate system of directorates. These directorates are more or less independent at each military establishment and are directly responsible to the central office. So far as could be observed there appeared to be no lack 

of coordination between the various directorates, and the work is conducted with a marked 

degree of efficiency. On the other hand, the French system, whilst maintaining a similar 

provision in the matter of direction, provides for the coordination of all functions of 

the corps at each military establishment. 

The organization in our own Army follows more closely the French system, as herein outlined, than the British system, and after careful consideration of the relative merits of 

the systems it is believed that the existing organization in our Army should not be modified except as may be developed by the evolution of the war. It is of the highest importance, however, that a large number of functions hitherto provided for in a more or less 

desultory manner, largely by contract and hired labor, should be added to the military 

organization and utilized in connection with the operations in France. 

Of these the following are indicated: 

(a) A force of dock laborers and stevedores to be enlisted and organized along the 

lines of infantry companies. 

(b) Warehouse and general laborers to be enlisted and organized along the lines of 

infantry companies. 

(c) A salvage force which should be enlisted and organized in companies composed of 

suitable sub-divisions. 

(d) Shops for restoration of salvaged material should be organized as required. 

(e) Printing units, which should be composed of enlisted personnel. 

(f) Company organization of clerks, similar to infantry companies. 

(g) Laundry establishments. ) These should be established along such lines as will 

(h) TailOring establishments. ) best meet the needs of the service, and the opera-

(i) Shoe repairing shops. ) ting force should be enlisted personnel, supple-

) mented by civil labor when desirable. 

It was found in both the British and French Armies that this class of work, (g), (h) 

and (i), is performed not only with the small units but also on the lines of communication, 

depending much on the views of the division and army commanders in each instance. 

The personnel of our Q. M. Corps is wholly inadequate to carry on the numerous duties 

assigned it and the enormous increase in the activity incident to the conduct of a great 

war. Observations with both the British and French Armies, extending from the base along 

the lines of communication to the front trenches, indicate clearly the great desirability 

of providing for officers in grades lower than that of captain. It is believed that the 

grades of first and second lieutenant should be provided in the Q. M. Corps, and that each 

of these two grades should have approximately the numbers authorized for the grade of 

captain. 

- 57-
1Taining. -- It was observed that in both the British and French Armies great stress 

is laid upon the training of both officers and men. Schools were visited in both England 

and France at which the training of officers and men was effected in all the various activities pertaining to the work of the Q. M. Corps. The results obtained through these 

schools appeared to be of such a character that it is recommended that wherever it is possible to do so training schools be established and maintained for the purpose of providing a 

constant stream of trained officers and men for service with the troops and at all militruy 

establishments. Such schools should include training for officers covering a period of not 

less than two months. along the following lines: 

Instruction in writing and transmitting messages and orders. 

Warehousing. 

Storekeeping. 

Nomenclature of all quartermaster stores and equipment. 

Physical training. 

Foot drill and saluting. 

Elements ofmilitruy law. Lectures. 

Orders of dress. 

Riding. 

Stables and pOints of the horse. 

Fitting saddlery. 

Instruction in cleaning kit and barrack rooms. 

Duties and standing orders. 

Care and fitting of harness. 

Pack saddlery. 

Supply depot. 

Revolver practice. 

Antigas instruction. 

Principles of musketry. 

Lectures on supplies. 

Wagon drill. 

Topography and map reading. 

Sanitation. 

Transport vehicles. 

Interior economy. Lectures. 

Slinging. entraining. and detraining of animals. 

Farriers first aid. 

Improvised packs. 

Practical work in: 

Supply scheme. 

Drawing rations. 

Transferring animals, 

Parading and marching to camp. 

Pitching camp. 

Camp routine, 

Refilling. 

Stable management, 

Nomenclature of supplies. harness. saddles and bridles. 

Knowledge and use of rations. forage. clothing and eqUipment. 

Office administration, 

Courtesy. customs of service. attitude of junior to superior officers. 

Messing. 

All other details of militruy service that would add to the knowledge 

and effiCiency of the officer. 

- 58-
During the course of instruction a mess should be provided for students and appropIiate 

mess rules should be enforced. 

The training of men should be limited in time to that necessary to render them proficient. Many men will be found who possess knowledge of animal and motor transport, in 

which case the course should be very much shortened. In no case, however, should men be 

entrusted with the care and management of animals until the officer in charge shall have 

satisfied himself that such men are fully qualified, with proper supervision, to perform 

their duties in a manner that will preserve the efficiency of the animals and material in 

their charge. 

The school for men should include training of blacksmiths, wheelwrights, saddlers, 

shoers, farIiers, packers, and all others handling animals, and the course should be sufficiently extensive to insure the efficiency of all enlisted men engaging in these services. 

The school for training in motor transport should include mechanical work and shop repairs, assembling, construction, dIiving and care of motor vehicles. 

Training schools for enlisted men of the above character have been provided for in 

AmeIica. At each divisional training camp a course of instruction for enlisted men who 

will have animals in their care has been provided in connection with temporary auxiliary 

remount stations. It is hoped that by this method a considerable amount of information 

will be gained by those charged with the care of animals and that there will be a degree of unformity in the system of training inasmuch as the instructors have been drawn, as far as 

possible, from established schools of the same character in peace times. Similar schools 

have been established for the training of mechanics and chauffeurs for motor transport. 

Formerly an excellent school for the training of quartermaster sergeants was in existence and should be resumed as soon as it is possible to assemble the necessary personnel 

to continue the school. 

It is recommended that training schools of the above character be established with the 

forces in France to continue the training that will be started in America, and to create a 

reservoir from which officers and men with appropriate knowledge of their duties can be 

drawn. 

Great stress is laid upon the subject of training for the reason that it is believed 

that the satisfactory results obtained on the Allied fronts are chiefly due to the constant 

training of the officers and men in every phase of operation. It is conSidered that it 

would be reckless to neglect this subject knowing that we are pitted against an enemy who 

has been engaged in such training for a peIiod of more than fifty years. 

Transport and Trains. -- The principal cargo wagon with both the British and French 

Armies is much the same as that provided for the U. S. Anny, and is very similar to the 

escort wagon. 

In addition to the transportation at present furnished to our troops, water wagons 

with a large number of spigots from which water can be drawn have been provided for under 

the provisional tables of organization. 

A cart similar to the Maltese cart of the British service is to be furnished. This 

cart is standardized with escort wagon material. It is believed that this cart will find 

its appropriate place with the sanitary section, for carrying machine guns, ammunition 

and food supplies at the front. 

A model of limbered wagon has been constructed and standardized as far as possible 

with the parts of the escort wagon. It is thought that as rapidly as these can be 

furnished they should be supplied to replace the combat section of the regimental field 

train. 

It is believed that with a liberal amount of transportation furnished in the field 

trains, including the ration, baggage and combat sections, supply trains and ammunition 

trains can most suitably be provided for by the use of motor trucks, and it is so recommended. 

One of the greatest difficulties of transportation is to be found in forwarding food, 

fuel, and ammunition to the trenches, and in the trenches. An enormous amount of manpower 

is consumed in this work. The matter was discussed with officers of both the BIitish and 

- 59-
French Armies, all of whom were pronounced as to the present unsatisfactory means of forwarding these supplies in the trenches, and the great waste of manpower. It is proposed 

to send forward a type of two-man carrier, which can be used either after the fashion of a 

litter or barrow. These should be constructed and sent forward at the earliest possible 

date for test and report. 

The 1 1/2 and 3-ton motor trucks have been standardized by the manufacturers in the 

United States and as soon as the leading manufacturers can provide the necessary tools all 

trucks procured for the use of the Anny in France will be standardized. This result should 

be obtained about October, 1917. 

Supply. -- Supply in both the British and French Armies is maintained by a system of 

daily distribution of food supplies for men and animals. The entire matter is provided 

for automatically and proceeds in the same manner from day to day, except that in the 

exigencies of the service, when a division of troops or other groups are shifted from one 

portion of the line to another, naturally the thread of supply shifts with the troops. If 

any unit is increased or reduced notification is sent direct to the proper supply officer 

and the appropriate change is made. It is understood that it is contemplated to install 

practically the same system with our troops. 

In the operation of supply of materiel and parts, it is desired particularly to draw 

attention to the results obtained by the system found in operation in greatest perfection 

at the the Heavy Artillery Park of the Fourth French Army, at Chalons, France. The system 

seemed to be so complete, simple and direct, as to warrant its extension to other supplies. 

It is, therefore, specially recommended, that the system at that station be applied to the 

supply of divisions of troops for their clothing and camp equipment. This system consists 

in sending agents from the supply depot daily to the troops to be supplied to make record 

of their necessities and place the supplies required to maintain the efficiency of the Army 

in the hands of the troops with the least possible delay, and by placing the least possible 

labor upon the shoulders of the troops at the front. It is believed that such agents, consisting as a rule, of junior officers acting for the responsible officers of the Q. M. 

Corps, will be of great value in maintaining the effiCiency of the activities of the 

corps and would materially relieve the burden placed upon commanders of troops regarding 

the sufficiency and promptness in the delivery of their supplies, and of the maintenance 

of the efficiency of the local transport. This system is very extenSively employed in the 

British service with most satisfactory results. 

It is regarded as wholly impracticable to continue to limit the allowance of clothing to be used by the troops on duty in France. Prompt steps should be taken to effect 

gratuitous issues of clothing wherever required to maintain the effiCiency of the troops. 

Certain elements of the clothing are vital to the soldier's efficiency. These are 

his shoes and stockings. If these are not in good condition the soldier becomes a cripple. 

It is, therefore, recommended that steps be taken to provide clothing vans which will be 

kept constantly in touch with each division of troops with the view to supplying them with 

these two essential articles, other articles of clothing to be supplied periodically according to the orders of the proper commanders. 

It is believed that by proper use of the agencies herein described, by appropriate 

free issues of clothing, and by the maintenance of clothing vans for shoes and stockings, 

the question of supply can be materially simplified and expedited. 

* * * * * * * * * * 

It is recommended that the British procedure with reference to the operations of the 

Q. M. Corps be followed, viz: 

When instructions of the Commanding General require certain work to be performed by 

the Q. M. Corps, that that corps be authOrized to give the necessary orders to accomplish 

their work provided the orders given relate only to personnel and materiel entirely under 

the Q. M. Corps, and provided further, that copies of such orders given be furnished The 

Adjutant General for record in his office.

2. Field Artillery 

1. The artillery section of the Mission visited the following places: 

IN ENGLAND 

Schools for candidates to become officers of artillery. gunnery schools. antiaircraft 

.chools. schools for noncommissioned officers. signal schools. training camps for reseIVe 

)rigades and reinforcements to supply wastage of officers and enlisted men to organizations 

It the front. target ranges for light and heavy artillery. and training camps for new 

)rganizations to be equipped and sent to France. 

2. From the above investigations. it was found that approximately 2.400 new officers 

rre trained for artillery every four mouths. ReseIVes are trained in three months and 

sent to the depots in France. Signalers are trained in four months and 900 signalers are 

sent to France each month. Newly-organized batteries of light artillery are trained in 

three months and newly-organized batteries of heavy artillery are trained in two months. 

Antiaircraft batteries are trained in one month. All newly-organized batteries. antiaircraft batteries and newly-trained officers have a short target practice before being sent 

to France. The above results are accomplished by specializing every class of men in the 

duties that they are to perform and by devoting at least eight hours per day to hard work. 

THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE 

3. The following places were visited: 

The headquarters of the Second Army. the headquarters of the IX Corps. the headquarters 

of the 11th Division ordnance repair shop. ammunition depot and railheads. division ammunition column. the various types of light. heavy and siege artillery. the information seIVice. 

the balloon companies and the flying wings. the battlefield of Messines. the operations in 

front of Ypres. and the artillery school for officers. 

4. As a result of the study of the British troops in France. it was found that the 

organization and training of the British artillery have been eminently successful. The 

victory at Messines was made possible by the skillful employment of the arm and it appears 

to have set a new standard for artillery in the offensive. 

The British artillery officers unanimously regard the following types of artillery as 

indispensable: 

The light field gun. 

The light field howitzer. 

The 6" gun. 

The 6" howitzer. 

The S" howitizer. 

The 9.2" howitzer. 

Other calibers that are being used in small numbers are the 9.2" rifle. the 12"-rifle 

and the 12"-howitzer on railway mounts and the 12"- and 15"-howitzers on portable field 

mounts. 

Artillery officers at the various headquarters recommend these IS-pounder batteries 

to one 4.5"-howitzer battery. and a proportion of one 12"-howitzer to three S" or 9.2"-

howitzer to six 6"-rifles. At the battle of Messines. the proportions used were one 

IS-pounder guns to one-third. 4.5"-howitzer to one-seventh. 60-pounder guns to threetenths larger calibers. 

Each division has from one to three brigades of artillery. Each brigade consists of 

these batteries of IS-pounder guns with six guns to a battery and one battery of six. 

4.5"-howitzers. The artillery officers of the Second Army headquarters stated that it is 

not good policy to have 6"-howitzers with the divisional artillery. This statement was 

repeated by the Chief of Artillery of the 11th Division. 

The guns above 4.5"-howitzer constitute a rolling reseIVe under General Headquarters 

and are assigned to armies for reenforcement. There are now 45S batteries of 6 guns each 

- 61 -
of heavy artillety. besides the large coast defense and naval guns on railway mounts and 

on portable field mounts. in batteries of from one to two guns each. 

The ammunition is delivered from the base to the railheads. whence it is taken by rail 

to the ammunition depots. It is then sent in motor trucks or by narrow gauge railroads to 

distributing points from which it is taken by the horse-drawn ammunition columns to the 

batteIies. 

The following data on the battle of Messines by the Second Army. over a ten-mile front 

from June 1 to 7. indicates the magnitude of the operations of artillety for which preparation must be made: 

The following guns were provided: 

One 18-pounder for each 15 yds. of front. 

One 4. 5"-howitzer for each 45 yds. of front. 

One 60-pounder for each 100 yds. of front. 

One 6". 8" or 9.2"-howitzer for each 50 yds. of front. 

There were seventeen ammunition trains per day of battle. carrying 370 tons of ammunition on each train. 2.753.000 rounds were expended. 

Two hundred and fifty guns were repaired by the ordnance shops during the seven days 

of battle. 

There were 2.500 casualties in the artillety out of a total for the army of 12.000. 

Artillety officers who were in a pOSition to talk authoritatively expressed the belief that the allowance of light field guns for the offenSive should be increased so as to 

provide one for evety 10 yds. of front in order to afford sufficient artillety. for the 

rolling and the standing barrage. 

The artillety ordnance repairs and issues of new parts are made by the ordnance shops. 

In the Second Army there are one heavy. seven medium. and eighteen light shops. The tendency is to transfer as much work as possible to the heavy shops. 

5. The extensive employment of field artillety under the conditions prevailing in the 

present war has produced a special information service for the arm. This includes meterological observations. elaborate telephone. wireless and signal communications; sound ranging devices; flash spotting instruments; air photographs; aeroplane reconnaissance; balloon 

reconnaissance; adjustment and conduct of fire from aeroplanes and balloons; the preparation 

and distribution of large numbers of maps containing the most detailed militaty information; 

the accurate location of all batteries and troops and the preparation of battle maps for 

evety battety and evety artillety command. 

This service is organized and conducted by the engineers for the British field artillety. 

but it is believed by many artillety officers that it should be controlled by the artillety 

and that officers for topography. signaling. and communications should be detailed for such 

duties from the engineers and the signal corps when necessaty. 

6. The observations with the troops in France forced conclusion that to be successful 

in finding the enemies' batterties and in attacking them as well as to prevent the enemy 

from destroying our batteries. we must have full control of the air. The air service is a 

separate establishment in both the British and the French Armies. It is coordinate in importance with other corps and arms. 

7. The use of camouflage is extensively practiced by all artillety commands. 

8. Vety little effort is made to train British artillety officers or troops in France 

The artillety school for officers of the Second Army compIises a rather elementaty course 

in routine duties for inexpeIienced officers. taken from batteIies at rest. Troops are 

especially drilled for making a proposed attack over a terrain as nearly as possible like 

the pOSition to be covered and made to represent known trenches and topographic features. 

ExtenSive use is made of relief maps and large reproductions of the battle field to scale 

on the ground. Before a battle one or more rehearsals in barrage firing are executed by 

all batteIies taking part in this phase of the movement. 

- 62-
9. The success of the British Anny in the employment of artillery is que in a very large 

measure to the organization of the higher command. 

There is a board of direction for artillery in the War Office which is charged with 

all matters pertaining to materiel. organization. training and personnel. A corps of inspectors under a general officer form a part of this bureau. The inspections secure uniformity of training and compel confOrmity with the best methods developed by the armies in 

France. 

The following table of headquarters personnel for artillery is taken from the published 

organization of the British Expeditionary Force. During periods of preparation and attack. 

the number of assistants an each case is approximately doubled.

It was stated that in all cases an assistant for munitions was required for the division staff. 

The Mission is in possession of the above extracts from the secret organization of the 

British Expeditionary Force. 

THE FRENCH ARMY 

10. The following places were visited: 

Headquarters. Fifth Army. Headquarters. VII Corps. Headquarters 14th Division. Headquarters Fourth Army. Artillery Groupment. Artillery Information SeIVice. Batteries in 

position of 75-mm .. 105-mm .. 155-mm .. 240-mm .• 320-mm. (on railway mounts). Grand Artillery 

Park for three armies. Flying Corps. Balloon School. Trench-mortar unit. Observing stations. 

photographic departments of Flying Corps. School for Superior officers of Artillery. and 

general officers of Infantry. School of Fire for Heavy Artillery. training camps for newly 

organized batteries of heavy artillery. school for aerial observers for all classes of 

artillery. school for antiaircraft artillery. school for officers. and depot for training 

recruits and for organizing and training new batteries of light artillery and batteries 

of heavy artillery with motor traction. 

11. The French artillery units were organized irregularly. but those observed appeared to be formed as follows: 

Divisional Artillery: One regiment of three battalions of 75-mm. field guns. Each 

battalion has three batteries and each battery four guns. 

Army Corps: Nine groups containing 72 pieces of 155-mm. guns and howitzers. 

Army: Such 75-mm. field guns and heavy guns up to 400-mm. as were assigned for reenforcements to the corps. 

A large proportion of artillery of all types is kept as a rolling artillery 

reserve by General Headquarters. and such quantities are assigned to armies or groups of 

armies as are considered necessary for their tasks. 

12. The following calibres of guns have been taken from the fortifications and ships 

and placed on railway mounts and were seen by the Mission: 200-mm. rifle. 240-mm. rifle. 

190-mm. rifle. 285-mm. rifle. 320-mm. rifle. 340-mm. rifle. 

A 240-mm. gun has also been mounted on a portable field carriage. For transportation. 

the gun forms one load of 22-tons on a traveling carriage. The carriage for supporting the 

gun in firing forms a load of 20 tons. Caterpillar tractors of 120 h. p. are used to haul 

each load. A 270-mm. mortar has been taken from the fortifications and is used in the field 

on its original mount. 

There are said to be about 310 groups of 8 guns or hOwitzers each of all calibres of 

heavy artillery in the French Army. 

13. Trench mortar artillery is organized into batteries of 12 mortars with five officers and 180 men to each battery. Two batteries are assigned to each division. one of 

which contains twelve 58-mm. mortars and the other contains six 75-mm. mortars and six 

150-mm. mortars. 

14. Antiaircraft artillery is organized into sections of two 75-mm. guns each with two 

officers and 62 men in each section. The sections are located about 3.000 meters apart in 

rear of the lines. Others are placed on the main routes to depots and near depots and 

cities. The entire French Army has. it is said. approximately 310 antiaircraft guns. 

High explosive shells are not fired from the guns mounted on motor carriages because of the 

danger to these carriages from premature bursts in the gun. Such shells are used in the 

antiaircraft guns on the improvised stationary mounts which are of little value and can be 

easily replaced. 

15. The failure of both the French and British seIVices to organize the heavy artillery 

into regiments appears to be illOgical and unsatisfactory. In the British seIVice especicially. it was stated that there resulted a large number of wandering groups without any 

constant leadership and that the result was detrimental to efficiency. As far as could be 

- 64-
learned. the present system resulted from the necessity of economy of officers and not from 

motives of efficiency. 

16. The training school for artillery officers in France is located at the Artillery 

School at Fontainebleau. Here 9.000 officers are trained each year for the artillery. The 

period of training varies from three to five months. depending upon the education of the 

candidate. Those candidates who take the course successfully are commissioned. 

The school of fire for heavy artillery has a course of two weeks for officers from 

organizations at rest. About 50 attend each term. 

New units are formed from recruits and newly appointed officers and a few officers of 

experience. generally those returning from wound on sickness. Several cavalry squadrons 

have been converted into artillery. The period of training of new units of heavy artillery. 

horsed. is five weeks. The period of training light artillery and motor-drawn artillery is 

three months. 

It is stated that each regiment forms a training center with noncommissioned officers 

schools. etc .. and schools for junior officers for the personnel of the regiment. 

17. French officers state that in their opinion the following are the indispensable 

types of artillery: 

The light field gun. 

Heavy howitzer. (155 mm.) 

Heavy rifle. (155 mm.) 

Very heavy howitzer. (280 mm.) 

Very heavy rifle (280 mm.) 

Super-heavy howitzer (400 mm.) 

Some of the leading officers also advocate a light howitzer of not exceeding 105-mm. (4.2"). 

The following trench mortars are considered necessary: 

240-mm .• weight of projectile 60 kg; range 2500 m. 

58-mm .. weight of projectile 16 kg; rouge 1500 m. 

Light mortar to be moved by two men. weight of projectile 4 kg; range 1000 m. 

The 75-mm. antiaircraft gun does not have suffiCient velocity. French officers desire 

experiments with a 105-mm. gun with a high velocity. Practically. the only effect of the 

present antiaircraft guns is to make the hostile aeroplane fly at about 15.000 feet 

altitude. They are seldom hit. Since March. 1916. the average has been one hit in 10.000 

shots and 139 German planes have been shot down by gun fire. 

The use of camouflage by the French artillery is more extensive and more skillful than 

in the British Army. The stereoscopic study of air photographs developed by the French has 

rendered camouflage of much less value than formerly. 

18. The organization of the headquarters of the French field artillery is similar to 

that in the British Army. 

There is a board for the direction of artillery in the War Office. It is charged with 

all matters pertaining to artillery. including materiel. organization. personnel and training. A corps of inspection forms a part of the bureau under a very able general officer. 

It is the function of the Board to have entire control of methods employed by field 

artillery as developed from experience in the successive actions at the front. The Mission 

is in possession of the confidential order creating this heard and also of the tables of 

organization of the field artillery of the French Army. 

The following artillery personnel was found at the various headquarters visited:

One assistant for tactical employment of artillery, 

One assistant for reconnaissance, 

One assistant for munitions. supplies, and personnel, 

One assistant for administration,

One assistant for wireless communication. 

GROUPMENT CONSISTING OF SEVERAL GROUPS OF HEAVY ARTILLERY 

One commander, 

One assistant for tactical employment, 

One assistant for telephones and wireless, 

One assistant for administration, 

One assistant for liaison with division artillery commander. 

The infonnation service for artillery is entirely under artillery officers with topographic officers detailed in some cases from the Engineers. The observers for aeroplanes 

attached to artillery are generally taken fonn the artillery and it is said that they 

should come from the artillery in all cases. The wireless communications at batteries with 

the aeroplanes for artillery are operated entirely by the artillery. 

19. In both the French and the British services a wing of the flying corps and balloon 

companies are assigned to each army corps for reconnaissance, photography and the observation and conduct of fire of the artillery. 

APPLICATION OF TIlE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARTILLERY 

20. From a study of the operation orders and of the latest instructions the employment of artillery in the British Anny the following conclusions are drawn as to the tasks 

appropriate to each type of gun and hOWitzer in use: 

The light field gun for the rolling barrage, wire cutting, and for the standing 

barrage to stop counterattacks. 

The light field howitzer for the standing barrage, for gas shells and smoke shell, for 

counterbattery work, for trench action, for fire of opportunity, and for movement to advance 

pOSitions to oppose counterattack. 

The 60-pounder gun for shrapnel fire on communications at long-range, for distant 

barrage, and for counterbattery work. 

- 66-
The 6" howitzer for distant wire cutting and trench destruction. for the destruction 

of machine-gun emplacements and for distant action against trenches. 

The 6" rifle for reaching far-distant gun positions and intersecting communications 

and against hostile balloons. 

The 8" and the 9.2" howitzer for the destruction of hostile batteries and trenches. 

While the 9.2" howitzer has greater power for this work. the 8" hOWitzer is considered 

necessary because it has greater mobility and can be placed at points inaccessible to 9.2" 

howitzer and because its range is 1,000 yds. greater than that of the 9.2" howitzer. 

The super-heavy calibres for reaching corresponding gun pOSitions. for bombarding 

villages. billets. and headquarters establishments. and for long-range counterbattery work. 

21. As the result of the study of the British and French artillery. the Mission 

recommends the following poliCies for the United States: 

MATERIEL 

The following materiel is recommended: 

For each infantry division: 

One brigade of light artillery. composed of: 

Two regiments of 3" field guns. 

One regiment of 3.8" or 4.7" howitzers. 

This organization is in accordance with the approved policy of the Treat Board and 

with the policy for appropriations and manufacture that has been followed for nearly two 

years. It is also in accordance with the best practices of the only nation which appears 

to be able at present to assume a successful offenSive in the war. 

For corps artillery for each two divisions in a corps. one brigade of heavy artillery 

composed of: 

One regiment of 4.7" guns. 

One regiment of 6" howitzers. 

One regiment containing four batteries of 6" rifles with four guns to a 

battery. one battery of 8" howitzers or corresponding calibre of four 

howitzers. and one battery of 9.2" or 9.5" howitzers of four howitzers. 

This is in accordance with the approved policy of the Treat Board. except that the 

third regiment is increased from 12 to 24 howitzers and guns and that twelve 6"-guns and 

four 8"-howitzers have been substituted for eight 9.5"-howitzers. These substitutions conform to what is stated by the artillery officers of the British Army who have been conducting successful attacks to be the necessities of the existing Situation. 

For army artillery for each six divisions in an army: 

Eight 12" rifles on railway mounts. 

Eight 12" howitzers on railway or portable field mounts. 

Four 16" howitzers on railway mounts. 

In general. a battery should be composed of two guns or howitzers and two batteries 

should constitute a battalion. 

These guns or howitzers are in addition to the materiel included in the approved 

policy of the Treat Board. Their types have been found essential in both the British and the 

French Armies. The Mission is reliably informed of the very effective action corresponding types of German guns that can only be opposed by equal or greater power. The numbers 

given are. in the judgment of the Mission. the minimum that should be supplied. 

22. In order not to denude a line of its normal needs in artillery a certain amount of 

artillery should be maintained as a rolling reserve under General Headquarters to be added 

to the artillery of an army or group of armies for an offensive movement. The quantity of 

each type should be determined and supplied from materiel manufactured in excess of the 

needs of the units created when such materiel shall become available. 

- 67-
23. A reserve of two guns or howitzers should be accumulated for each carriage for all 

calibres except the 6" gun and the 12" gun in which cases three guns should be provided for 

each carriage. It is recommended that the policy pursued by England and France in taking 

from the fortifications guns required for service in the field be adopted. 

A reserve of 50% of guns on carriages should be provided for artillery parks, for training camps and schools, for the army artillery named in Par. 21, and for replacing losses 

in battle. 

24. Provision should be made for supplying and accumulating the following amounts of 

ammunition: 

For each three-inch gun, 15,000 rounds, 

For each 3.8" or 4.7"-howitzers, 10,000 rounds, 

For each 4.7"-gun, 10,000 rounds, 

For each 6"-howitzer, 8,000 rounds, 

For each 6"-gun, 8,000 rounds, 

For each 8"-howitzer, 5,000 rounds, 

For each 9.2" or 9.5" howitzer, 5,000 rounds, 

For each 12"-howitzer, 3,000 rounds, 

For each 16"-howitzer, 2,000 rounds, 

For each 12"-gun, 1,000 rounds. 

Instantaneous and delay-action fuses, should be provided for all shell above the 3.8" 

or 4.7" howitzer. 

Fuses for the 3" gun and the 3.8" and 4.7" howitzer shell should be instantaneous. 

25. The following trench mortar artillery should be provided: 

For each division, one battalion consisting of: 

One battery of 12 mortars, capable of firing a 120 lb. bomb 2,500 yds. 

One battery of 12 mortars capable of firing a 30 lb. bomb 1,500 yds. 

One battery of 12 mortars capable offiring an 8 lb. bomb 1,000 yds. 

Each three batteries should be organized as a battalion of artillery, and each two 

battalions should be organized into a regiment. 

26. The organization of antiaircraft artillery as provided by the supplementary proceedings of the board appointed to recommended types of field artillery, is believed to be 

satisfactory . It is recommended, however, that an antiaircraft gun of about 4" calibre with a high 

muzzle velocity be developed and that experiments be made with a machine-gun firing a light 

projectile with great rapidity and high velocity for antiaircraft purposes. 

27. Up to the present time, neither of the Allies has been able to conduct successful 

offensive on a suffiCiently broad front to break down the defense of the enemy and to force 

his withdrawal over long distances. The reason for this appears to be the lack of a sufficient number of guns. It has been necessary in all cases to withdraw artillery from other 

parts of the line to reenforce the section attacked, thus enabling the enemy to assume the 

offensive against the section so denuded and to conduct bombardments to which no adequate 

reply could be made. It, therefore, becomes a question as to whether victory should be obtained through a long and exhaustive period, after great losses of men and money, or whether 

success should be sought through the use of a maximum of gun fire over a shorter period and 

with a minimum cost in lives. It may fairly be stated that losses in war today are inversely proportional to the volume and the efficiency of friendly artillery fire. Ifwe 

are to produce a decided effect upon the issue of the war, we must strive to develop some 

form of rolling offenSive over a very considerable area and for this purpose, artillery 

must be furnished in quantities not hitherto contemplated. 

28. It is believed that not less than 1,000 aeroplanes and 500 balloons will be required constantly by our artillery alone within one year. It is recommended that these 

machines and balloons be manufactured and supplied and that all personnel, except observers, be furnished with them. They should be used exclusively for artillery purposes, 

- 68-
and be under the control of the different artillery headquarters for observation and conduct of fire. reconnaissance. photography. etc. The magnitude of the service of the air 

has grown to such proportions that it demands a separate bureau of the War Department in 

accordance with the practice of other nations. It is recommended that in order to meet 

these requirements. a separate bureau be created. charged with developing and supplying all 

aircraft and the personnel for such service at schools and training and camps and in the 

field. 

TRAINING 

29. It is recommended that the following schools be established for field artillery: 

artillery. 

IN THE UNITED STATES 

A training school for instructors of light artillery. 

A training school for instructors of heavy artillery. 

A training school for instructor in physical exercises. 

A training school for instructors in horsemanship and horse training. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of light artillery. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of heavy artillery. 

A training school for officers of antiaircraft artillery. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of trench mortar 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of the artillery 

information service. 

A signal school for officers and noncommissioned officers of all types of artillery. 

A training school for balloon and aeroplane observers of artillery. 

A school for superior officers of artillery and for general officers of infantry. 

A school for the training of saddlers. blacksmiths. mechanics. farriers. cooks 

and bakers for artillery. 

A school for the training of motormen for heavy artillery trucks and tractors. 

IN FRANCE 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of light artillery. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of heavy artillery. 

A training school for superior officers of artillery and for general officers 

of infantry. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers of antiaircraft 

artillery. 

A training school for balloon and aeroplane observers of artillery. 

A training school for officers and noncommissioned officers for the artillery 

information service. 

A signal school. 

A school for the training of motormen for trucks and tractors. 

30. The following training camps should be established: 

IN THE UNITED STATES 

Training camps for reenforcements of officers and enlisted men to replace wastage 

overseas for light artillery. 

Training camps for reenforcements of officers and enlisted men to replace wastage 

overseas for heavy artillery. 

Training camps for newly organized units of light artillery. 

Training camps for newly organized units of heavy artillery. 

- 69-
Training camps for newly organized units of antiaircraft artillery, 

Training camps for newly organized units of trench mortar artillery, 

Training camps for artillery should not be combined with divisional camps or 

camps for other arms. 

IN FRANCE 

Similar camps for reenforcements to those named for the United States. 

Training camp in each corps for artillery specialists. 

A training center in each regiment at rest for the personnel thereof. 

ORGANIZATION 

31. It was noted that every unit of the British and French Armies was supplied with 

an ample technical and administrative staff. The successful operations of the past year 

could not have taken place without adequate staff preparations. The lack of such an 

organization in any unit can only result in the failure of the artillery and the corresponding consequences to the infantry. In order, therefore, that the organization, training and tactical employment of field artillery may become efficient, the organization of 

the higher personnel must conform to the practices in England and France. The following 

policy is, therefore, recommended: 

FOR THE WAR DEPARfMENT 

One Chief of Artillery, 

One assistant for administration, 

One assistant in charge of inspection and methods. 

Nine assistants for inspections and methods, 

Two assistants for personnel, 

Three assistants for materiel, 

Two assistants for training camps, 

Two assistants for horses and horse traction, 

Two assistants for motors and motor traction, 

One assistant for railway traction,

All of the above headquarters should be supplied with such enlisted personnel in 

various grades, as may be required. 

32. The following artillery information service should be provided: 

CORPS HEADQUARTERS 

One Chief of Artillery Information, 

Two assistants for topography and maps, 

Two assistants for aerial photography and reconnaissance, 

Two assistants for sound ranging. 

Two assistants for flash spotting. 

Two assistants for telephone and signal communications, 

One assistant for wireless communications, 

One assistant for balloon observations, 

One assistant for aeroplane observations, 

One assistant for meterology and ballistics. 

Such numbers and grades of skilled enlisted personnel as may be required. 

DIVISION HEADQUARfERS 

One Chief of Artillery Information Service, 

Two assistants for topography, maps, and battle charts, 

- 71 -
One assistant for aerial photography and reconnaissance, 

Two assistants for telephones and signal communications, 

One assistant for wireless communications. 

Such numbers and grades of skilled enlisted personnel as may be required. 

REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS 

One Artillery Information Officer, 

Two assistants for telephone and signal communications, 

Four assistants for wireless communications, 

Eight assistants for aerial observers from balloon and aeroplanes, 

One assistant for reconnaissance, maps, and battle charts. 

Such members and grades of skilled enlisted men as may be required. 

The number of enlisted men for the battalion headquarters should be increased to 20, 

and the number of enlisted men in the battery commander's detail should be increased to 25, 

all of whom should be thoroughly instructed in signaling. 

33. A wing of the flying corps should be permanently assigned to each army corps for 

reconnaissance, photography, and adjustment, and conduct of the fire of artillery. 

A balloon squadron should also be assigned to each corps for artillery information and 

the conduct of artillery fire. 

34. The following service for ammunition supply should be organized: 

FOR EACH CORPS 

One truck ammunition column to operate between the railhead and the nearest practicable 

point to the batteries. 

One horse-drawn ammunition column to operate between the end of truck transportation 

and the issuing point for the batteries. 

FOR EACH DIVISION 

One motor truck ammunition column to operate between the railhead and the nearest 

practicable point to the batteries. 

Horse-drawn ammunition batteries, to operate between the end of truck transportation 

and the issuing points to batteries. 

The approved policy of the Treat Board with reference to truck ammunition columns, and 

ammunition batteries, is applicable to the campaign in France. 

35. The following depots should be organized: 

FOR EACH ARMY 

One grand artillery park, capable of making all repairs on materiel on a large scale 

and of issuing all materiel and spare parts in large quantities. 

FOR EACH CORPS 

Two artillery parks, capable of making minor repairs and of issuing all materiel and 

spare parts. 

EACH DIVISION 

One depot capable of issuing materiel and spare parts as required. 

All parks and depots should have inspectors to visit the organizations supplied by them 

- 72-
each day and to ascertain the needs of the artillery. All deficiencies should be supplied 

at once without requisition by delivering spare parts or by sending new materiel to replace 

injured materiel that requires repairs. 

36. Three ammunition depots for heavy artillery and three ammunition depots for light 

artillery, should be established for each anny. 

37. It is recommended that 20 sets of sound ranging instruments be purchased at once 

from the makers in Parts. Some of these instruments should be sent to the United States for 

purposes of training. Orders should be filed at once with the makers for the manufacture 

of at least 20 sets of flash spotting outfits. Some of these outfits should also be furnished in the United States at once for training purposes. 

38. The training in the United States should be both disciplinary and technical. It 

should include field and seIVice regulations for field artillery, with the addition of 

practical methods to produce accuracy of fire, meterologfcal corrections, battle charts, 

map exercises in constructing barrages, adjustment and conduct of fire by aeroplane and 

balloon observations and by observers from advance and flank observation posts. 

The training in France should include the technical and tactical employment of field 

artillery as it is progressively developed by the military operations. The attendants at 

the officers schools should come from selected officers who have been commissioned from the 

training camps in the United States or who have been seIVing with troops and are available 

from those at rest. 

Details for training, programs to be followed, and periods for each course can only 

be determined by the officers for field artillery direction in the War Department. 

The Mission is in possession of numerous documents and programs of instruction obtained in England, and France, that will become available for use in the detailed preparation of a syllabus for each character of school and camp recommended. 

3. Infantry 

This memorandum is intended to embody only specific recommendation made in consequence of conclusions formed as a result of observation and study together with a brief presentation of reasons for same. The Mission has at hand data giving a more extended description of 

observations made, and detailed discussions of the subjects considered. 

SUBJECTS 

1. What we have seen. 

2. Organization. 

3. Equipment. 

4. Training. 

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN 

Colonels Hersey and Ely, and Major Simonds, made a study of the schools for specialists, officers and noncommissioned officers schools, and recruit training at ALDERSHaI', 

PERBRIGHT, and other points in England, from June 10, to June 15. From June 17 to June 26. 

this study was continued from the Central School of the British Second Army at WISQUES, 

France. Visits were made to the specialist schools in the vicinity, and to points on the 

British front at MESSlNES Ridge, HILL 63, held by the Anzac II Corps, and to VIMYRidge, 

held by the Canadian corps. From June 27 to July 3, a similar study was made of the French 

schools and training in the French Fourth Army from CHAWNS. Specialist schools in the 

vicinity were visited as were the front line trenches near NAVARINFann. From July 4, to 

July II, conferences were held by the Mission and by its members with members of General 

Pershing's staff. Visits were made to the schools for candidate officers at St-CYR and 

for temporarily disabled men at JOINVIUE. 

- 73-
Colonel Hersey made a special study in England of training in Canadian contingents at 

BRAMSHOIT, BEXHIIL, and CROWBOROUGH. Colonel Graves made observations with the Mission at ALDERSHOT and participated in its conferences. Major Simonds made a special study of 

the cadet battalions and company officers schools in England. 

ORGANIZATION 

It is clearly evident in so far as concerns the infantry, that the Tables of Organization, 1917, do not satisfactorily meet the demands of the present situation on the western 

battle front. At the present time no one seems to be able to state authoritatively of just 

what the typical army, army corps, and even division should properly consist. In the 

theatre of operations, it now differs widely in different armies and different parts of the 

line. 

It is therefore, recommended: 

1. That for the present the general organization promulgated by the War Department 

in Tables of Organization for the expeditionary forces in France, be continued in force as 

a gUide. The exceptions taken to certain items therein, are hereinafter taken up in detail 

and substitute recommendations made. 

2. In order to conform to this organization and to meet the conditions of training 

and combat for which the organization is designed, it is not deemed necessary to change in 

any important particular the present I. D. R In the training for trench warfare the fighting unit will still be the platoon, consisting of four or more squads of a corporal and 

seven privates each, normally. When squads for special service are desired of a different 

number, the necessary men may be taken from or attached to the squad. Any minor changes in 

the I. D. R which may become necessary, or points arising not covered by the regulations 

may be provided for in training Circulars. 

3. There should be six officers and 250 men to each infantry company with proper proportion of noncommissioned officers, as now prOvided for by law, in order: 

(a) To provide for a company commander, a second in command, one officer to command each platoon. 

(b) To keep the four fighting platoons always up to the strength necessary for 

their best service. 

(c) To provide for casualties, sickness, and leave. 

(d) To provide for all details of men required outside of the fighting platoons 

and outside of the company proper.

Total 200 

Consulting British and French experience and the British manuals the remaining 50 men 

are needed for duties about as follows: 

2 more men per platoon for Lewis guns 8 

The British manual on the training of a division prescribe that whenever a battalion 

goes into attack the following officers and men must be left behind to provide a nucleus 

for reorganization in case of heavy casualties: 

Officers; either the company commander or second in command will remain behind: 

N. C. O.'s; 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 lance corporal, 3 

Riflemen; 3 to each platoon, 12

Total 250 

4. It is recommended that the battalion consist of four infantry companies and one 

machine gun company; the additional machine gun companies made necessary by this organization to be attached from machine guns in the permanent brigade and division organizations. 

5. For the machine gun company the Mission recommends; 

12 guns per company with 4 spares, 

172 men per company. 

6. For the regimental supply company it recommends an addition of; 

4 drivers for the ammunition caissons of the machine gun company, 

10 privates for stable orderlies and substitute drivers. 

This gives a regiment of 94 officers and 3,576 enlisted men, permanent organization; 

and 10 officers and 344 enlisted men pertaining to the two machine gun companies attached. 

7. It is recommended that there be assigned to the regiment of infantry twelve 3" 

Stokes mortars to be operated by men from the headquarters company designated as sapper 

bombers. 

8. It is recommended that machine gun companies be organized and assigned as follows: 

3 companies to each brigade 

4 companies to each division 

1 company of armored motor car machine guns; this company to consist 

of any number of guns, of any size, of any number of officers and enlisted 

men; or tanks, as may be prescribed by proper authority. 

The above machine gun companies to be distributed in the division so as to give a 

company for each battalion not provided for in the machine gun company permanently a part 

of the regiment, and to provide for a division reserve of two normal companies and one tank 

company. The machine-gun transportation to be drawn instead of pack. 

EQUIPMENT 

l. It is recommended that 16 automatic rifles be furnished each infantry company; 

this being considered sufficient to provide for a proper number of actual use and a proper 

reserve. 

2. The Mission recommends the adoption of the following definitions of machine guns 

and automatic rifles: 

Machine Guns: 

A rifle using automatic fire with infantry ammunition, with recoil sustained by some 

sort of solid mount, and capable of being clamped. 

Automatic Rifle: 

A rifle using automatic fire and infantry ammunition, recoil sustained by the body of 

the firer. 

3. Material and ammunition for all instructional and combat work should be furnished 

in adequate quantities and with such despatch that there shall never be any delay in progress of work due to lack of quantity and failure to arrive on time. 

- 75-
TRAINING 

All training of both the British and French Armies emanates from the operation of a 

system of schools. This has followed from the rapid introduction of new weapons and methods 

and the remarkable development of trench warfare on the western front. No longer is the 

fact that the officer or enlisted man is a professional soldier or has had previous militruy 

training sufficient. He must himself have studied and received instruction in the new and 

special branches and officers and nonconnnissioned officers cannot properly train their 

units until they themselves have received the instruction. Hence the following reconnnendations: 

1. That there be established in the War Department a section of the General Staff 

which shall have supervision over the general subject of training and be charged with: 

(a) The adoption and prompt promulgation of general principles of training. 

(b) The establishment of a system of schools for the Army. 

(c) Supervision of their operation, and coordination of the schools in France 

with those at home. 

2. That provision be made for all classes of training in the U. S. 

3. The Mission is of the opinion that in physical training, close order drills, disciplinruy instruction, and musketry, the systems in vogue in the Army of the United States 

are entirely adequate. It is believed that in musketry the use of panoramic landscape 

sketches for target designations should be put to a more general use. 

4. Referring to the proportionate amount of training to be given our recruits before 

leaving the United States, it is believed that this will be largely determined by such 

factors as the availability of transportation, furnishing of equipment, and of other 

material. There need be, however, no delay whatsoever in entering upon the fundamental 

training of our new armies as soon as they can be called into being. In this connection 

it must be remembered that at present we have practically no qualified instructors for the 

subject of special training. As soon as competent instructors can be turned out of our 

special schools in France, a proportion of them should be returned to the United States to 

conduct the schools there. Until that time and in order to establish these schools in the 

United States with the least practicable delay, and to cany on the specialist instruction 

contemporaneously with the fundamental and disciplinruy training of the soldiers, the 

Mission recommends the utilization of French and British officers and noncommissioned officers as advisors to our own officers, who will be the commandants and instructors in these 

schools. It is recommended as a minimum that one officer and nonconnnissioned officer in 

each special subject be sent to each of our sixteen training areas. The observation of the 

members of the Mission is to the effect that in certain branches English instructors would 

be preferable, in others French. The following table enbodies the reconnnendation of the 

Mission: 

From 

No. of No. of which 

Branch officers N. C. o:s Army 

Machine guns, 16 16 British 

Automatic rifles, 16 16 French 

Bombing and rifle grenades, 16 16 French

Antigas, 16 16 British 

Flame, 16 16 French 

Liaison, 16 16 French 

Sniping, 16 16 British 

Pioneer work, 16 16 French 

- 76-
These officers and noncommissioned officers should be detailed for a period of six 

months, after which time our own schools in France should have been in operation a sufficient length of time to insure a sufficient number of instructors and a proper dissemination of instruction through the natural course of the system of schools and training which 

may be adopted. 

In addition to the number specified above, it is believed desirable to have at training headquarters in Washington a small number of foreign officers of some experience in 

school work to act as advisors to the officers in general charge of training. 

5. It is further recommended that our present officers training camps be developed 

into agencies for selecting and training subaltern officers from the material which the war 

develops. These are called in the British and French service cadet battalions. 

6. That as soon as practicable, authoritative training circulars be issued by the War 

Department. Insofar as concerns the infanby arm, it will not be necessmy to change the 

drill regulations or discard the instructions in Part II Combat, but there will be much new 

matter to present under the heading of combat and some adaptation of the I. D. R will be 

required, which can readily be accomplished by the issuance of such training Circulars. 

CHIEF OF INFANTRY 

It is recommended as of prime importance and in accord with our European obseIVations 

as well, that there be provided for the infanby arm of our service, a Chief of Infanby, 

who shall be a general officer of the General Staff, whose function shall be chief advisor 

to the assistant chief of the General Staff on organization, equipment, discipline and 

instruction of the infanby arm of the service. 

4. General Staff 

The obseIVations of the work of the General Staff extended to the British War Office 

General Staff, General Headquarters, First Anny, XVII Corps, and 9th Division, Headquarters 

of the British forces. With the French, visit was made to Second Anny Headquarters, XXXI 

Corps, and 64th Division. 

The organization of the General Staff at the British War Office is as given in War 

Office Memorandum No. 903, dated Februazy 5, 1917. A copy of this memorandum is on file 

with the General Staff in Washington and has been considered. 

At the beginning of the war General Staff duties were divided into Operations and 

Intelligence sections. It soon became apparent that officers assigned to operation work 

must devote their entire time to preparing plans for offensive and defensive campaigns. 

This resulted in adding to the operations section at General Headquarters a policy section 

and a training section to all headquarters. 

The policy section handles questions as to where and how men and materiel should be 

used. On account of the new developments in arms and equipment, and the requirements as to 

how these arms and equipment could best be used, it was considered by both the British and 

French that a system of schools should be established in order that the training would be 

uniform, and that the best means of using the new arms could be communicated promptly to 

all the troops. This made it advisable to organize the training section of the General Staff. 

As our training will be both in France and the United States, it is recommended that 

committee of the General Staff be charged with keeping in touch with a similar committee 

to be organized at General Pershing's headquarters in France, and with the Militmy Attache 

in London, with a view to translating valuable French documents bearing on training and 

editing those gotten out by the British and French forces. This committee should see that 

these documents are placed in the hands of our troops training in the United States without 

any delay. Time is of the utmost importance in this matter, consequently a special 

committee charged with this duty is believed advisable. 

- 77-
This personnel of the intelligence section of the General Staff has been enormously 

increased since the war began. It has grown from about twelve men to three or four 

thousand. At this time the activities of this section in the British Army extend practically allover the world. 

The broad divisions of duties are as follows: 

Information of the enemy; topographical information; location of the enemy forces; 

dissemination of this information to the proper persons; secret service work; production of 

maps; press censorship; collection of intelligence regarding the economic situation in 

Germany. 

It will be necessary to provide the officer personnel for all these General Staff 

duties. 

Officers on duty in the operations section must be trained officers. It is believed 

we have enough regular officers to meet the immediate demands for this work. The British 

have about eight at General Headquarters in this one section. Each Army has four. and each 

Corps and Division three. It was found that all these officers put in long hours at their 

offices. so we can assume that this number will be necessary in our service. The British. 

however. consider it necessary for officers and men to get away from the front for about 

ten days every four months. We should figure on the same for our officers as changes will 

be necessary. 

It is advisable for at least two of the General Staff officers for duty with each of 

our divisions to have had some experience in the performance of their duties in France when 

our divisions arrive in France. One of these officers should be for the Operations section 

and one for the Intelligence section. Both the British and French have stated that they 

would be glad to have our officers assigned to duty where they could learn these duties as 

now performed in their forces. They have stated that apprOximately three months would be 

suffiCient for a trained officer to learn his duties in the Operations section. It is. 

therefore. recommended that when practicable two General Staff officers who are to be on 

duty with our divisions in France be sent to France three months ahead of the division with 

which they are to serve. 

It is not possible to get the great number of intelligence officers needed from the 

regular service. It is stated at British headquarters that it is not advisable to do so 

even if we had the regular officers to spare for that work. General Charterts. at the head 

of the Intelligence Bureau of the British forces in the field was of the opinion that some 

officers for this work should come from the Regular Army. some from secret service men. some 

from policemen. and many from bright young men who could be tried out for this work. It is 

believed a number of the young men now in training camps can be found who can speak French. 

and a proportion German. who would be particularly valuable for intelligence work with our 

forces in France. 

The British have. generally speaking. taken their General Staff officers from regular 

officers. They are now beginning to select them from officers who have been brigade 

adjutants and have had work in that position very similar to the General Staff work in 

Operations section at the various headquarters. 

In both the British and French Armies the General Staff prepares all plans and directs 

the movement of men and materiel to carry out the directions of the Commanding General. In 

the British Army the Adjutant General and the Quartermaster General at the various headquarters are authOrized to issue within their own sphere orders designed to carry out the 

plans prepared by the General Staff. Other bureaus. as in our Army. must ask that the 

necessary orders be issued. So far as could be learned this seemed to work very satisfactorily. 

GENERAL STAFF AS ORGANIZED AT HEADQUARrERS. SECOND FRENCH ARMY 

The General Staff at Army Headquarters is divided into Bureaus. There are four of 

these as follows: 

1st: The Personnel Bureau 

- 78-
2d: 

3d: 

4th: 

The Intelligence Bureau 

The Operations Bureau 

The Supply Bureau. 

The Personnel Bureau at Second Army comprises seven officers and deals with the 

promotion of officers, decoration of officers, and, in a general way, with discipline. This 

bureau has nothing to do with the relief of organizations from the line, and generally 

speaking its functions appeared to be statistical and record in character. 

The Intelligence Bureau deals with practically the same questions as does the same 

section of the British Army, but everywhere the efficiency of the intelligence bureau was 

considered of the greatest importance. 

The Operations Bureau had a chief and seven assistants at Second Army Hdqrs. There 

are generally a chief and two or three assistants in this bureau and as many more assistants 

as there are corps in the Army. This bureau keeps in close touch with all the other 

bureaus and especially the Supply Bureau. It gives all orders for movements, and keeps in 

close touch with the Armies on its flanks by means of liaison officers. 

The Supply Bureau, as its name indicates, deals with food, ammunition, sanitation, 

engineer and artillery parks, etc. It is essentially a supervising office which sees to 

the execution of orders regarding the subj ects it handles. It is an administrative section 

of the General Staff, and at the Second Army there were thirteen officers on duty in this 

bureau. 

The same division of duties of General Staff obtains at Corps and Division Headquarters. but the activities of the officers on duty in the bureaus extend only to the 

command to which they are assigned. 

There are liaison officers on duty at all headquarters. These liaison officers are 

considered of the greatest importance. Both the British and French consider it necessary 

to keep in close touch with the Allied forces by means of liaison officers, and we will 

soon have to send officers not only to the British and French headquarters, but to the 

French forces on our right and left where we enter the line. 

General Staff officers in large numbers will be necessary to meet the demands of this 

war. The War Department should look ahead and have General Staff officers trained with the 

British or French commands available for duty with our divisions when they arrive in 

France. The nature of this war is such that we cannot safely depend upon the previous 

training of our officers to meet the requirements. Success depends to such an extent upon 

the efficient work of the General Staff officers in charge of the operations section of our 

Army, Corps, and Division Headquarters, that it is almost essential that they have three 

months' experience in a similar office either with the British or French prior to putting 

our organizations into the trenches. In view of the difficulties encountered with the 

French language, the signal success of the British and the present aggressive attitude of 

the British, it is believed better results will be obtained by sending the majority of our 

officers for operations work with the British and especially the Canadian forces. This 

question was discussed with the entire MisSion and all are of the same opinion. 

5. Cavalry 

Some members of the cavalry section of the Mission visited the machine gun training 

center at Grantham and the cavalry training center at Tidworth. both in England. In 

France they visited the British 1st Cavalry Division, the British Cavalry Corps, the British 

First Army, the French I Cavalry Corps, the battlefields of Arras, Vimy Ridge and Messines 

Ridge as well as the school at St-Cyr. 

Mer studying the equipment, organization, schools and methods of training in vogue 

in both armies, the cavalry section submits the following conclusions and recommendations: 

CONCLUSIONS 

1. That very small changes will have to be made in the equipment and organization of 

our Cavalry to fit it for any work that it may be called upon to do in Europe, either in 

- 79-
open or trench warfare. 

2. That these changes can easily be made. 

3. That no changes in drill regulations wUl be necessary. 

RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO EQUIPMENT AND ORGANIZATION 

1. That every cavalryman armed with a rifle have a bayonet, which it is believed will 

be best carried suspended from the belt on the left side. The British and French cavalrymen 

all have them. 

2. That enlisted men be provided with an intrenching tool. 

3. To be able to water horses from canals (into which they cannot be led) and from 

wells, that each man carry a canvas bucket as is done by the French and British. 

4. A great saving of hay can be effected by issuing to each man a hay net like that 

used by the British Army. This net weighs a few ounces, costs little, and keeps the hay 

off the ground and out of the mud. 

5. That more ammunition be carried by the individual cavalryman. The British 

cavalryman carried 100 rounds and the French cavalryman 108 rounds of small arms ammunition in a bandolier around the horses neck. A similar bandolier for our cavalrymen is 

recommended. 

6. Each British Cavalry troop has one Hotchkiss machine rifle or twelve to the regiment of about 470 men. Each French cavalry platoon has two automatic rifles (Chauchat) or 

twenty-four to the regiment of about 600 men. 

It is recommended that each of our cavalry troops be given either four Lewis guns or 

eight automatic rifles of the best type obtainable. (These are in addition to the machine 

guns of the machine gun troop of the regiment.) The British consider the Lewis to be a far 

better gun than the Hotchkiss. Owing to the supply of Lewis guns being limited and to the 

fact that they were more needed by the infantry for their trench work and by their 

aeroplanes, the cavalry has been armed with the next best light machine rifle obtainable. 

7. It is recommended that six men of each troop be equipped as rifle grenadiers. 

This conforms closely to the French percentage. 

8. The French and British have expert signallers in each platoon and with the 

commander. It is recommended that there be four of these signallers in each of our troops. 

This number wUl include the two buglers. BeSides flags, three of these signallers should 

carry a signal lamp of the Lucas type now used by both the French and British. 

9. While all men of the British and French cavalry are given training in grenade 

throwing, about eight in each French platoon, the most expert, are classed as grenadiers 

and it is their duty to throw the hand grenades in combat. One of these is a noncommissioned officer. It is recommended that sixteen men be deSignated for this duty in 

each of our troops of cavalry. 

10. A French infantry platoon contains: 

2 sergeants, 

4 corporals, 

7 grenadiers, 

6 rifle grenadiers, 

6 auto-riflemen 

17 rifle and bayonet men. 

Total 42 

It is understood that the German infantry platoon is practically the same. 

A dismounted fighting unit must contain all of these four classes of speCialists, and 

in about equal numbers if it is to meet a German platoon on an equal footing. 

Our cavalry troop consisting of 105 men, after deducting the 1st sergeant, 2 cooks, 2 

buglers and 25 horse holders, can form when dismounted to fight on foot, two such platoons 

with the exception of the Lewis gunners or automatic riflemen. 

- 80-
It is recommended that each cavalry troop be increased by the number of men necessary 

to operate four Lewis guns or eight automatic rifles. 

A cavalry platoon. dismounted. will then consist of about: 

6 noncommissioned officers 

7 grenadiers. 

3 rifle grenadiers. 

1 expert signaller. 

17 rifle and bayonet men. 

(2 bayonet men. 

(1 grenadier. 

(1 rifle grenadier. 

(2 automatic riflemen or 2 Lewis 

gunners. 

12 Lewis gunners or 12 auto-riflemen (4 engaged in ammunition 

supply and horse holding.) 

Total 46 

11. Our cavalry regiments have practically no liaison arrangements. Great attention 

is given to this by both the French and the British. In addition to the expert signallers. 

each platoon has Very pistols and all men carry flares of different colors. They have 

motorcycles. flags. Aldis and Lucas lamps. and shutters for signalling to aeroplanes. It 

is recommended that a signal section under command of an officer be added to the headquarters troop of each cavalry regiment with all of these methods of communication. This 

section should be large enough to furnish a permanent quota to each squadron headquarters. 

Each troop should have flares and four Very pistols. 

The British cavalry division. corresponding in strength to our brigade. has a signal 

squadron of 98 men and 2 officers. It has four wireless sets. 18 combination telegraph and 

telephone sets. 18 motorcycles. several bicycles. flags. carrier pigeons. several Aldis and 

Lucas lamps. and four miles of wire on pack animals. 

12. Our escort wagon is unsuited for the combat train. A cart like that of the 

French or a limbered wagon like that of the British will be necessary for transporting 

grenades. tools. and ammunition near the firing line. 

13. A two-wheeled water cart per troop is believed to be necessary. The French and 

British have such a cart holding about 120 gallons. 

14. Woolen olive drab clothing only will be needed. Our clothing is satisfactory 

except the shoes which should be heavier and hob-nailed. A winter cap to protect the ears 

and face and a warm jacket to cover the chest should be added. These made of canvas lined 

with flannel are suggested. Rubber hip boots will be needed for winter service. 

QUOTA OF CAVALRY PER INFANTRY DIVISION AND CORPS 

The British assign a cavalry brigade to each corps as corps cavalry (each regiment 

having 100 dismounted men in addition). 

The French assign two squadrons to each infantry division as divisional cavalry. In 

both cases the quota is about 300 cavalry for a division much smaller than our own proposed 

division. Officers of both armies claim this quota is too small. 

It is recommended that two cavalry regiments be assigned to each four division corps 

sent to France. two squadrons of each regiment to be used as divisional cavalry (1 squadron 

to the division). the remaining squadron to be kept at or near corps headquarters for 

training and replenishment purposes. 

If a cavalry force. as such. should be sent to France. it is recommended that the 

divisional quota of artillery be two regiments--one of 3" guns and one of 3.8" howitzers. 

Batteries of armored machine guns and auto-cannon and considerably enlarged signal 

detachments will also be necessary. 

- 81 -
TRAINING 

Due to thickly settled communities and the high state of cultivation in France. the 

British complain of the difficulty of finding suitable target ranges and maneuvering 

grounds except in out of the way places. It is recommended that as much training in 

horsemanship and musketry as possible be given in the U. S. It is also recommended that 

advantage be taken of British experience and a cavalry training center be established 

where instruction can be given not only in purely cavalry subjects but in all the 

specialities as well. The climate of this center should permit work throughout the entire 

year. This center would have officers and noncommissioned officers schools. schools to 

train instructors in equitation. bombing. swordsmanship. bayonet practice. machine gunnery, 

musketry. signalling. and antigas measures. as well as schools for horseshoers. farriers. 

and saddlers. Recruits and horses needed for all replacements would be trained at this 

same center. 

INSPECTION AND COORDINATION 

The British have an inspector general of cavalry (with aSSistants). whose duty it is 

to coordinate and standardize instruction. to make inspections and to conSider all 

questions of organization. equipment. etc. 

Some such system of coordination would seem to be most necessary in our service. It 

is recommended that a Chief of Cavalry be appointed whose duty it will be to consider and 

to make recommendation upon all such matters to the Chief of Staff or to the Assistant 

Chief of Staff. He will need a suitable number of assistants. 

6. Engineer Department 

The engineer section of the Mission had an opportunity while in England. June 10 to 

15. to visit the school of military engineering for officers and enlisted men at Chatham. 

where two days were spent. to see an exhibition and demonstration of the use of camouflage 

in Hyde Park. and to consult with various engineer officers on duty in the War Office in 

reference to engineer duties. organization. equipment and supplies. 

With the British Army in France. June 17 to 23. this section had the opportunity to 

discuss engineer matters with the engineer in chief and the inspector of mines at general 

headquarters. the chief engineer of the Second Army and the IX Corps. and their staff 

officers. the commander of the R. E. troops of the 19th Division. the commanders of a field 

company. a tunneling company. topographical company and a gas company. The work of field 

companies was inspected on Messines Ridge. a corps R. E. park and the Army R. E. Shops were 

visited. also the map reproduction plant of the Second Army. The base R. E. depot and shops 

near Calais were also visited. Practically all of the officers consulted furnished written 

or printed data giving many details on the subjects in question. which data will be turned 

over to the proper Bureau of the War Department. 

With the French Army. June 27 to July 3. this section had opportunities to meet and 

discuss engineer matters with the chief engineer of the Fourth and Third Armies and their 

staffs. including for the Fourth Army. the officers in charge of the services of roads. 

water-supply. camouflage. engineer instruction. light railways. map making and reproduction, 

sound ranging and flash spotting. antiaircraft searchlights. mining. An engineer school of 

application. a divisional engineer company with its transportation. division and corps 

searchlight sections. division. corps and army engineer carts and shops. and antiaircraft 

searchlight installation. and a pontoon bridge park were inspected. Opportunity was also 

given to witness the review of a division by the Army Commander and a demonstration of an 

attack. French and German trenches and shelters on the front abandoned by the enemy last 

spring were also examined. 

A large amount of written and printed data was likewise accumulated from French 

sources which is available for the use of the War Department. 

While in Paris. July 4 to 11. the engineer training school at Versailles. and the 

- 82-
engineer expeIiment park and heavy bridge park at Sartory [sic) were visited, and all the 

remaining available time was spent in consultation with the officers of General Pershing's 

staff on matters pertaining to organization, equipment, training and supplying of engineer 

troops and services, particular attention being given to questions of organization and 

supply. 

GENERAL REMARKS ON ENGINEER SERVICES 

The nature of the military operations as now carried on in France is such as to call 

for an enormous amount of engineering work and supplies, including many branches of 

engineering not heretofore considered as military. At the outbreak of the war the Corps of 

Royal Engineers numbered about 4,000 officers and men organized mostly as steel companies, 

with a few other specialized units. It now numbers over 300,000 officers and men, and the 

organization includes some 30 or 40 different kinds of special units. The British practice 

is to create specified units for special services. These are generally called companies 

and the strength of a company may vary from 100 to 900 men depending upon the service 

required of it. These special units are not organized into battalions or regiments even 

though a number of companies may work under the same control. 

The French, confronted by the same necessity for specialized engineering units which 

which did not exist in their service before the war, have met the situation by details from 

or additional to their normal units, retaining their usual higher organizations, such as 

battalions and regiments, for purposes of administration at any rate and some times for 

command. 

It is believed that, for the present at any rate, our best course will be to provide 

the necessary units for the various engineer services by making use of our present 

prescribed organization, with certain modifications now legally within the power of the 

President. Mter actual experience, that is about a year hence, it will be possible to 

recast our units better to fit their several duties, and it is recommended that steps be 

taken at the proper time to secure for the President full authority in this respect. 

ENGINEER DUTIES 

The following remarks based upon observations made in France are made upon the scope 

and nature of the several duties devolving by law, regulation and orders, upon the Corps 

of Engineers. It may be noted that all of these duties as well as some others devolve 

upon the engineers in both the French and British services. 

Field Fortifications. -- This is essentially the duty of the divisional engineers 

and is their principal duty. They are assisted sometimes by some corps engineers and 

always by the infantry. The infantry do simple digging and repairs to trenches and wiring 

under engineer supervision. The engineers attend to such features as machine gun, trench 

mortar, and gas cylinder emplacements, dugouts, deep and shallow, strong points, drainage, 

observation and command posts, the provision of forward dumps of stores, and the general 

supervision of the work. 

Mining. -- Practical mining was begun by the Germans. To meet their dispositions 

both the French and British have organized mining units and they now have rather the best 

of the enemy underground. The control of mining operations is an Army function. Very 

elaborate mining operations have been carried out by the British in connection with their 

large attacks. Mining consumes an enormous amount of material. Both sides are doing less 

mining now than formerly, but both the British and French say that mining units are 

indispensable, even if no tactical mining is done, for work on deep dugouts. 

Roads. -- Behind the zone of the armies the roads are kept up, as in time of peace, by 

the department of Ponts-et-Chaussees. In the zone of the armies on the French front the 

roads are built and maintained by a road service under the supervision of the chief 

engineers of the armies. This service carries the roads as far forward as the trucks can 

operate with reasonable safety. Beyond that the road work falls upon the divisional 

engineers. 

- 83-
The British have a Director of Transportation, who in addition to controlling the 

railroads, standard and light, and inland water transportation, has charge of all road 

work up to the corps area. The chief engineers of corps handle the road work in their 

areas up to the front, where it is taken over by the divisional engineers. The French 

arrangement is considered preferable for us, but whether the service of roads should come 

under the chief engineers of armies or should pertain to the line of communications will 

depend upon the decision reached as to the forward limit of the line of communications. 

Bridges. -- Both the French and British consider it important to have pontoon trains 

ready for use. Both animal and motor-drawn pontoon trains are used. The pontoon trains 

are generally assigned to corps. There are bridging schools in both armies, where 

bridging companies are practiced in the successive construction of pontoon, light pile or 

trestle, and heavy pile or trestle bridges. An important item of engineer supply is the 

so-called artillery bridge, used to carry the light artillery over trenches during an 

advance. These are portable and are placed in position, during an advance, either by the 

divisional engineers or by the artillery. Both armies keep on hand in their bridge parks 

a supply of steel trusses of various lengths to make a permanent replacement of bridges 

destroyed by the enemy when he retires. These trusses are knocked-down in sections that 

can be carried on trucks or wagons, and are assembled at the site of the bridge by the use 

of boats. 

Water SuppLy. -- A water supply service is provided in each French and British army 

under the chief engineer of the army. It provides for the construction of reservoirs, the 

boring and digging of wells, pumping and the distribution of water by pipe lines, tanks, 

troughs, and water trucks. This department also provides the water cans used to carry 

water to the forward trenches and during advances. All combatant units also have water 

carts as a part of their regular eqUipment. 

Mapping. -- The topographical and map reproduction work done in the field is handled 

by engineer units attached to armies. In the British service the field survey companies 

work under the military information division of the General Staff. Sections of these 

companies are attached to corps for work in the forward areas, and these companies also 

furnish sections to carry on the work of sound ranging and flash spotting. Other sections 

of the companies draft and construct maps from aeroplane photographs, reproduce maps by 

lithography and carry out the distribution of all maps prepared by the companies or 

supplied from the rear. All base and general maps, and other maps not subject to change 

are printed in England and sent out to the armies. The French arrangement is much the 

same, except that the sound ranging and flash spotting work is done by the artillery as a 

part of the artillery information service. 

Railroads. -- In addition to standard gauge, both the French and British make use of 

two kinds of narrow gauge railways. The so-called light railways operate, under mechanical 

power from the standard gauge railheads as far forward as shell fire will permit. The 

trench tramways, operated by man or animal power, carry supplies forward to or near the 

front trenches, some times running in trenches, but generally across country. In the 

French service the light railways were organized originally for the transportation of 

artillery ammunition but they now carry all classes of supply. They come under the direction of military transportation in the zone of the armies. A superintendent is provided 

for each army area. In the British service the light railways are managed by the Director 

of Transportation, while the trench tramways are under the chief engineers of armies in 

their respective areas. Trench tramways are operated by army tramway companies, assisted 

some times by divisional engineers. 

BattLefzeLd mummation. -- A considerable difference of view was found in respect 

to this work in the British and French services. The British have definitely discarded 

the searchlight except for antiaircraft work. They depend solely on the Very pistol for 

illumination of the foreground. Rockets and flares are used for signaling. 

The French still have searchlight sections with their divisions but they state that 

the value of searchlights has been overestimated, and they recommend drawing the 

- 84-
divisional searchlight sections back to the corps. They seem to feel that a few large 

searchlights (120 cm.) may be found of value for foreground illumination. The French also 

have trench lights with their division but these have been used mainly for signaling. 

Gas Wld Flame Work. -- Both the British and French have provided special engineer 

units for offensive gas and flame work, but the British have now definitely abandoned the 

flame projector. They consider gas work of increasing importance. The French think 

highly of the jlammenweryer for mopping up trenches. It is essential in order to keep the 

gas work abreast of developments that the whole subject of gas, offensive, defensive and 

experimental, should be under one head, and this head should be in France. 

Building Construction. -- This is done in both services by special engineer units. 

Those in the army areas are under the chief engineers of armies. but corps and even 

divisional engineers are frequently employed in erecting the several forms of portable 

huts in use. In the French service all cantonments are electric lighted. In the British 

service the installation of electric lighting systems, pumps, and other machinety. is done 

by the electrical mechanical companies. 

Camoujlage. -- The work of engineers in connection with camouflage includes the supply 

of camouflage material, technical advice by specialists as to its use, and the placing of 

camouflage along exposed routes of communication. Artillety units do their own camouflage 

using the materials supplied. Camouflage against overhead obseIVation is of the highest 

importance. 

Supply oj Engineer Materiel. -- This is one of the most important engineer duties. 

The supervision of the supply of engineer materiel forms an important duty of the chief 

engineers of divisions. corps and armies. and occupies the full attention of a staff 

officer of each of these chiefs. The supply system includes main depots and shops for the 

fabrication of materials and wood. metal and concrete, army depots and shops, corps parks, 

divisional, brigade and regimental dumps. To provide rock and timber, quarries and sawmills are operated and lumbering operations carried on by units rated as engineers. 

Based on the British experience the following figures may be taken as indicating the 

average monthly supply of various classes of materials used by or under the direction of 

engineer units for a total expeditionaty force of one million men. 

R. E. stores 

R. E. timber, for trenches, huts, etc.

The proper organization for the special engineer units required for duty in France can 

only be fully worked out after our troops have actually entered upon operations. It is 

possible now to forecast in a general way only the needs as to numbers and organization. 

To facilitate the preparation of these units for service abroad it is considered deSirable 

to speak in terms of the engineer units now carried in our tables of organization, indicating such variations as appear necessaty, and in a general way the nature of the duties to 

be performed by the various units required. 

Divisional Engineers. -- The engineer unit appropriate to a division is a regiment 

organized as per Table 16, Tables of Organization, 1917, except that two officers and 

eighty-six privates should be added to each company, making six officers and two hundred 

and fifty men per company. One mounted section only per battalion should be provided but 

all companies should retain their pack animals. 

Corps Engineers. -- To each corps should be assigned one regiment of engineers 

organized as recommended for divisional engineers, a field searchlight section made up as 

- 85-
per Table 35, Tables of Organization, 1917, a pontoon section as per Table 35, Tables of 

Organization, 1917, with the addition of enough men to handle on the road the equipment 

provided, namely, 3 heavy divisions, 1 animal-drawn and two motor-drawn, and an antiaircraft section of similar organization to the searchlight section. If the antiaircraft 

batteries of the corps are drawn from the Coast Artillery, it is recommended that the 

searchlights be turned over to them and the engineer antiaircraft searchlight sections be 

dropped. 

The corps regiment should speCialize in training so as to have three companies 

especially available for trench tramway work, two companies for mining, dugouts and fortification work, and one company for bridge work of all kinds. 

Anny Engineers. -- One regiment should be provided for gas and flame work, one regiment for mining, tunneling and dugout work, one regiment for building construction, one 

regiment for water supply and the electrical and mechanical work, one regiment for shop and 

park work, and one company of 9 officers and 164 men for surveying and map reproduction 

work. These regiments should have the strength provided for a provisional engineer regiment. 

The Army should have a reserve pontoon park of three heavy divisions with sufficient personnel 

to care for the equipment. This may be drawn from the shop and park regiment. If sound 

ranging and flash spotting are to be handled by the engineers, a battalion should be provided 

instead of a survey company, the sections for ranging and spotting being drawn from this survey 

battalion. It should have normal companies of 164 men, with 9 officers to a company. 

Sound ranging and flash spotting is essentially an artillery function, pertaining to 

the artillery information service. The sections carrying on this work must operate under 

artillery control. Better results will be obtained if the personnel for this work is 

provided from the artillery. 

It is conSidered that the road work in the zone of the armies should be handled by a 

road service under the direction of the chief engineer of the army, following the French 

rather than the British practice in this respect. For this service two regiments of 

engineers organized like the divisional regiments will be required in each army area. 

Services of the Rear. -- The engineer section has not had sufficient time to make a 

study of the various engineer units required for the services of the rear, such as light 

and standard gauge railways, quarrying and forestry. In addition to these, provision must 

be made for general construction work, road work, water supply, and dock construction in 

the back areas. 

The light railways are classed in the service of the rear from the point of view of 

general transportation control, but they exist actually in the fOlWard area, and their 

organization is subdivided to correspond with the army areas in which they operate. The 

chief of an army system of light railways must have close relations with the army 

commander of his area. 

A camouflage park should be provided for the expeditionary force under the Chief 

Engineer. A company of six officers and 250 men will suffice for this work. 

EQUIPMENT 

Divisional and corps engineers should be armed. Army engineers and those pertaining 

to the service of the rear need not be armed in France. 

The companies of divisional regiments should be divisable into four working sections 

each. Tool carts should be substituted for tool wagons for these sections. Corps regiments should be sent out Similarly equipped, special tools to be issued to the several 

speCialized companies in France. The standard equipment of engineer companies should be 

revised to provide more tools, mainly shovels, picks, axes, and saws, to correspond to 

the increased strength recommended. The tool equipment of special units can be made up 

from lists of British and French equipment in the hands of this section. 

The basic disciplinary training for engineer units should be the same as provided for 

other branches of the service, except that shorter training periods will suffice for units 

- 86-
pertaining to the service of the rear. Divisional and corps regiments should have a short 

target course and all engineers to be employed at or near the front, that is within ten 

miles, should be instructed in the use of gas masks. Data have been collected for the use 

of commanders of specialized units for training in the United States. Final training of 

all units will be had in France where schools for the various classes of engineer work 

should be established. 

The training period for engineer recruits in the British service is 19 weeks, 4 of which are 

devoted to drill, physical and bayonet training, 1 to musketry, and 14 to field works. The course 

of instruction for young officers of Royal Engineers is 22 weeks. Tunneling officers detailed from 

other branches of the service take a 5 weeks' course of training. 

SUPPLY 

An approximate estimate has been given above of the tonnage of engineer supplies 

required monthly for a force of one million men. As stated by the officer in charge of 

the Base Depot at Calais in variety engineer stores range from locomotives to white mice. 

It has never been possible to bring the supply of engineer material up to the demands 

of the army. 

It is recommended that a home depot be established for engineer supplies at the 

principal port of embarkation in the United States, from which all shipments will be made 

to the main depot in France. The latter should be established in the intermediate section 

of our line of communications with representatives at each port of debarkation to see to 

the forwarding of shipments by rail. Normally in the zone of the armies each army, corps 

and division, has a reserve of engineer stores, in depots, parks and dumps, respectively. 

The chain of supply is normally through these several groups, but the main depot may ship 

direct to anyone of them. If the army depot is conveniently located the corps park may 

be reduced to a rolling reserve on wagons or trucks for use in case of an advance. 

In the French service the following order of precedence is established for the movement of supplies on the light railways: 

1st, ammunition. 2d, engineer supplies, 3d, food supplies. 

ORGANIZATION OF THE LARGER UNITS AND THE REPLACEMENT OF CASUALTIES 

By sub-committee composed of Cols. Aultman and Anderson 

British. -- The organization is based upon the infantry division of three brigades of 

four batteries [battalion?] each of infantry, two brigades of four batteries each of field 

artillery (3 of 18-pounder and one of 4.5"-howitzers, 48 guns) and one squadron of cavalry, 

with auxiliary troops and trains. 

The normal total strength of a division is about 15,000 men. 

The corps at the present time is territorial, rather than tactical, and consists of 

from two divisions, where no offensive is contemplated, to four or even five, in a corps 

engaged in offenSive operations. There is no fixed number of divisions in a corps. 

There is no corps artillery definitely assigned as such, all artillery not divisional 

being pooled in the army reserve and assigned to the corps for special tasks. There is 

usually a brigade of cavalry assigned to a corps. 

Armies are also territorial in their character and consist of three or more corps 

occupying a section of the battle front. 

The air service, both aeroplane and balloon, belongs to the army. The army squadrons 

are divided into two wings, the army and the corps wings. The army wing is for the purpose of general reconnaissance, combat, and bombing. The corps wing is for the purpose of 

artillery reconnaissance, and the direction of artillery fire. The balloon section belongs 

to the corps wing. 

Replacement of casualties was at first regimental, the home battalions being called 

upon to furnish the necessary reenforcements. This method was found to be unsatisfactory 

- 87-
as the drafts for different regiments were very unequal. 

The system as now developed is general in its character. Reenforcements are trained 

at the training centers in England, and, on arrival in France, are either sent directly to 

organizations requiring them or are held in army reenforcement camps, where training is 

continued, and they are forwarded as required. 

At the commencement of any serious operations, the reenforcements estimated to be 

necessary are sent forward to a point from which they can quickly join the organization by 

which they may be needed. 

The British have definitely abandoned all territorial or organizational replacement. 

French. -- The French have two types of division. The twelve battalion division consists of two brigades of two regiments of three batteries [battalion?] of infantry, three 

groups of three battalions each of 75-mm. guns (36 guns), two squadrons of cavalry, and 

auxiliary troops and trains. The nine-battalion division consists of three regiments of 

infantry, with one squadron of cavalry, the same allotment of artillery, and a reduced 

quota of auxiliary troops and trains. The aSSignment of one or more batteries of lO5-mm. 

guns or 120-mm. guns has apparently been contemplated, but no such artillery was found as a 

component of a division. 

The twelve-battalion division totals apprOximately 15,000 men, and the nine-battalion 

division about 12,000 men. Information as to actual organization was vague and indefinite. 

As in the British service the corps is territorial rather than tactical in its 

character, and the number of divisions composing it varied according to the length of line 

occupied and the task to be performed. 

The average army corps consists of from two to four divisions, an infantry reserve, 

usually a brigade of territorial infantry, a variable amount of cavalry, depending upon the 

task to be performed; the corps artillery, one regiment of two battalions of three batteries 

each of 75-mm. guns (24 guns); the corps heavy artillery, one battalion of three batteries 

each of lO5-mm. and 120-mm. guns; with auxiliary troops and trains as already reported to 

the Army War College by the French Mission. 

Armies consist of a variable number of corps, from two to five, depending upon the 

line held and the task to be performed. 

The air service is, as in the British Army, a function of the army, with an army wing 

for distant reconnaissance and combat, and a corps wing for artillery reconnaissance and 

the direction of artillery fire. 

Replacement of casualties was at first territorial, each division having its depots 

units in the area in which it was raised. This system failed, due to the unequal drafts 

from the various divisional areas to replace casualties in the divisions that suffered the 

heaviest losses. It has been replaced by a depot system, the recruits being trained in 

their training camps and forwarded to corps and divisions from which they are distributed 

to organizations as needed. 

In the event of serious casaulties to our army in France, some divisions are certain 

to suffer very much heavier losses than others. To draw reenforcements for these divisions 

from the corresponding home divisional areas will result in the losses being distributed 

unequally throughout the country, as has been the case with both the British and French. 

Should a territorial system of replacement be adopted, we should probably, within a 

short time, abandon such a system and adopt the depot system as has been done by our Allies. 

It is therefore recommended that the depot system be adopted for the replacement of 

all casualties. 

In order to meet the demand for reenforcements to replace casualties, recruits should 

be assembled in training camps in the United States, in which there should be established 

schools for general training and for the training of all specialists. The recruits should 

be grouped in provisional units not larger than the battalion or squadron. 

On completing the training to be given in the United States, the recruits should be 

forwarded to similar camps in France, where their training should be completed. In the 

training camps in France, no greater provisional units than the battalion or squadron should 

be found. In this way the overhead charges of regimental, brigade and division headquarters 

- 88-
staffs will be avoided, while the training, which is more individual than organizational, 

can be efficiently conducted by a proper corps of specially selected instructors. 

From the training camps, reenforcements can be sent as required to the organizations 

in the line, or, in case of urgent requirements in operations, can be previously assembled 

in provisional organizations in the vicinity of the troops that will require them. This 

the method at the present time in use by both the British and French Armies.

FROM: The Commander-in-Chief, American Expeditionary Forces 

TO: The Adjutant General, Washington, D. C. 

1. Enclosed herewith is a proj ect for the organization of forces to be sent to 

France. This project was originally drawn up after extended conferences at French and 

British General Headquarters and embodies the results of French and British experience. 

In its completed form, the project represents the consensus of opinion reached by a conference composed of officers of these headquarters and the officers of the Mission headed 

by Colonel Chauncey B. Baker. 

2. It is essential that we adopt at once a far-reaching program of organization 

suited to the present war and it is therefore urged that the accompanying project of 

organization be approved and put into effect without delay. 

3. Recommendations as to line communication troops will be forwarded later [Printed 

under date, Sept. 21, 1917).

OPERATIONS SECTION 

July 10. 1917. 

Report on Organization 

(Modifications resulting from general conference included herein.) 

1. Basis of Study 

In preparing the attached tables of organization the Operations Section has considered 

the provisional organization prescribed for the first division ordered to France. definite 

projects presented by the French Army Headquarters and the British Army Headquarters in 

France. and has taken as the basis of the study a total force of about 1.000.000 men in 

France. This force includes not only the combat elements. but also those necessary to maintain these combat forces. 

The projects presented by the French and British resulted from several conferences held 

between their Army Headquarters and the Operations Section and a special study by a group of 

French general staff officers. In presenting their projects both the French and British based the 

organization they advocated on what they desired and not on what they actually have at the 

present time. In fact. the two projects were studies of the organization of a new force without 

any restrictions as to the supply of men or material. 

A force consisting of about one million men has been taken as a basis for the following reasons: 

(a) A thorough study of the subject of organization could not be made without 

considering a balanced force. complete in all weapons and services essential to modern war. 

(b) An army is the smallest unit fulfilling the conditions included in (a). 

(c) The operations of the American forces in France must. for many reasons. not 

discussed herein. include offensive action on a larger scale. To carry this action out on 

a front sufficient to produce results commensurate with the endeavor. there must be available 20 combat divisions for the operations. 

(d) With 20 combat divisions as a basis. the corps and army troops and necessary 

line of communications troops were determined. 

It is evident that a force of about one million is the smallest unit which in modern 

war will be a complete. well-balanced. and independent fighting organization. However. it 

must be equally clear that the adoption of this size force as a basis of study should not 

be construed as representing the maximum force which should be sent to or which will be 

needed in France. It is taken as the force which may be expected to reach France in time 

for an offensive in 1918 and as a unit and basis of organization. Plans for the future 

should be based. especially in reference to the manufacture. etc .• of artillety. aviation. 

and other material. on three times this force. i.e .. at least three million men. Such a 

program of construction should be completed within two years. 

2. French and British Projects 

The details of the organization advocated by the French and British differ to some 

extent. but the proportions of the different arms are measurably the same in both projects. 

The artillety arm is the most striking example. In spite of entirely different systems. 

the total number of guns per thousand infantty differs in the two projects by a vety small 

fraction only--nor does the proportion of different calibers of guns vary considerably. 

While taking what appeared best from both projects. the organization herein proposed 

- 93-
is so arranged as to conform to existing law. thus avoiding the necessity for new legislation. This arrangement results in no serious defect of organization. 

The amount of artillery. troops. and services required to maintain the infantry 

actually carrying on the battle or manning the trenches is very striking. but these auxiliaries are necessary and have resulted from actual experience of nearly three years. 

The French and British recommend practically identical proportions. 

3. Corps 

The fighting corps of 4 divisions is accepted from the French project for many reasons. 

In modern war. divisions must be employed not only side by side but also in two lines. I.e .• 

one in rear of the other. With a two-division corps (one division employed necessarily in 

a second line). the front of attack is too narrow for the full and complete utilization of 

the artillery of the corps. With a three-division corps. sufficient reinforcements are 

not available and mixing of units of three divisions in preference to those of two results. 

Also. in reliefs and exchanges of trench warfare duties. there should be one division to 

relieve another as well as one regiment within the brigade as a relief for the other. etc. 

During the period of offenSive action on a large scale. a corps employed on the defenSive 

can be maintained without disruption of organization even if two divisions of this corps are 

sent to the offensive sector. 

The two replacement divisions of each corps are discussed below. 

4. Replacement 

The maintenance of a fighting force of 20 divisions in France will necessitate a 

systematic plan methodically executed for replacement of losses. These losses will include not only officers of all grades and enlisted men but also serious losses in guns. 

equipment. transportation. etc. In addition to the French and British projects. the figures 

of their actual average losses over a considerable period of time have been carefully 

studied. Bearing in mind our long sea line of communications. it is evident and our two 

Allies advocate. that we maintain in France the two echelons of replacement employed by 

them but with a personnel about equal to 50 percent of the infantry of the fighting forces. 

The per cent of replacement for the other arms is considerably smaller. The study indicated 

results in the following replacement requirements for each corps: Two divisions complete. 

certain elements of artillery and other auxiliary troops being utilized as corps and army 

troops. Mter our forces are once engaged a minimum of 3.000 men per month for each army 

corps in France must be fOIWarded from the United States. 

In order to provide for reasonable training of officers and higher commanders in 

America before fOIWarding to France. it is believed that each corps should have a home 

division (7th) and in addition such recruit depot battalions as may be necessary. This 7th 

division is not included in the attached tables. but only referred to here to show the complete development of the entire project. 

As the troops in France will be constantly undergoing training before taking over part 

of the line. and. later. during rest periods. schools. etc .. will have to be established 

and maintained. This training includes not only the minor organizations but also the 

officers to command regiments. brigades. and divisions. The replacement troops are utilized for these purposes. By grouping these troops into divisions. not only a complete 

training unit and scheme are provided for. but. also. the administration of these units is 

greatly simplified. In fOIWarding the first units to France. complete organizations may be 

dispatched and after their arrival in France only the personnel. etc .. necessary for replacement will have to be transported. 

In order to provide for the early organization and readiness for occupation of part of 

the line. it is planned to have the divisions of each corps arrive in France in order in-

- 94-
dicated by their numbers on the attached table. This scheme will permit the organization 

and training of the corps before actual offensive action. 

5. lrifantry 

The reestablishment of the four-Infantry-company battalion and the adoption of the 

two regiments to a brigade are imposed by conditions of the present war which require a 

unit always ready to relieve the unit in its front and greatly avoids the mixing of units 

in combat. The machine-gun company is now an integral part of the fighting unit, i.e., the 

battalion. It must be assOCiated and trained with the battalion. The increase of the infantry company to six officers and 250 men is required in order to maintain the absolute 

minimum effective strength considered necessary by both the French and British. 

6. The Chief Surgeon, Signal Officer, and Engineer at these Headquarters have agreed 

with the details of this study in so far as their services are concerned. 

7. Tables 

Attached hereto are tables presenting the organization recommended. Particular attention is invited to the artillery organization of the 3d and 6th Divisions which are intended 

to fUrnish in part the corps and army artillery.

Paragraph three. Reference so-called agreement made May fourteenth between Secretruy 

of War and Marshal Joffre, French are urgently insistent that terms be carried out. The 

further our investigations proceed as to general conditions and the state of French 

resources, the greater appear their deficiencies, and the smaller their abilities to aid us 

in material or labor. Therefore deem it of the utmost importance that this be fully 

realized at home. Dock facilities available for our use will be very cramped when we begin 

to send over continuous convoys of troops and supplies. Therefore, construction of 

additional dock accommodations should be pushed. The railroads we are to use are also 

deficient in equipment and in need of repair. Material and rolling stock should be shipped 

without delay. The French have practically no material available, so that both material 

and labor must come from United States. They are also generally short of material for construction of storehouses and cantonments, and large portion of this material must come from 

United States. A realization of all this by French Government prompted the requests made 

in Washington by the Joffre Mission. The very first available transportation after shipment 

of remainder of first division should, therefore, be devoted to sending over the railway 

engineer regiments, dock material and railroad construction material. Full details regarding dock and railroad material will be cabled immediately. We cannot wait for timber or 

lumber from the forests, although foresters asked for should be sent at once. Consider the 

increase of docking facilities at ports and the improvements in rail facilities our zone 

imperative and pressing.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF. 

Parts, July 11,1917. 

MEMORANDUM OF A CONFERENCE ON ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT 

1. PREUMINARY EVENTS 

(a) Before the Headquarters of the American Expeditionruy Force left the United 

States, the organization of the first provisional division had been worked out by the War 

College Division and approved by the Secretruy of War. While the War College Division had 

- 107-
consulted the French and British Missions then in the United States, that Division 

specifically stated that the first provisional divisional organization was tentative only, 

and that modifications would be necessary. The Chief of Staff also recognized this fact 

and the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces was accordingly directed to study, 

and report at the earliest practicable date, the most suitable organization for our forces. 

(b) Immediately after leaving the United States the Operations Section of the 

Expeditionary Headquarters was directed to take up this study. The special studies made, 

and the result thereof as modified, are outlined in the Report on Organization [Printed 

under date, July 10, 1917). 

(c) While the Headquarters of the American Expeditionmy Forces were still in 

London, the mission headed by Colonel Chauncey B. Baker arrived in that city. At that 

time it was deCided that a conference should be held between the Expeditionary Headquarters 

and the Mission prior to the return of the latter to the United States. The object of this 

conference was that each body should obtain the benefit of the conclusions reached by the 

other and that, if possible. a policy to be recommended to the proper authorities might be 

formulated. 

2. The Baker Mission after its tour of the British and French fronts arrived in Paris 

early in the week ending July 7. 1917. After consultation with Colonel Baker the American 

Commander-in-Chief immediately deSignated committees of Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and 

Engineer officers, composed of officers from Expeditionary Headquarters and the Baker 

Mission. to exchange ideas as to the organization, equipment. and training of their respective arms and if possible to arrive at conclusions with respect thereto. After these 

preliminary conferences. a general conference met on July 8, at which the Commander-inChief. American Expeditionary Forces presided. The following officers were present at this 

conference:

THE CONFERENCE 

3. The conference began with the consideration of the question of organization; that 

of infantry and its combination with other arms into divisions, corps and armies being 

first conSidered. The question of replacements was also conSidered at the same time, the 

infantry being the arm principally concerned. 

The main topics conSidered were as follows: 

(a) Strength of infantry company (250 men) 

(b) Composition of infantry battalion, four infantry companies and one infantry 

machine gun company. 

(c) Adoption of the automatic rifle as an infantry weapon and to be issued at 

the rate of 16 per infantry company. 

(d) Adoption of the Stokes 3" mortar as an infantry weapon and to be issued at 

the rate of 6 to the regiment for use by regimental Sapper-Bombers detachment. 

of packs. 

guns: 

(e) Adoption of cart transportation for infantry machine gun companies instead 

(f) Certain minor increases in the Regimental Supply Co. 

(g) Adoption of 16 machine guns to a company; 12 for equipment and 4 for spare. 

(h) Adoption of following official description of automatic rifles and machine 

Automatic Rifles: Rifles using automatic fire with infantry ammunition, recoil 

sustained by the body of the soldier. 

Machine Guns: Rifles using automatic fire with infantry ammunition but with 

recoil sustained by some sort of solid mount and capable of being clamped. 

(1) The infantry brigade of two regiments. Ul The divisions of two brigades. 

(k) The organizing, arming and equipping of pioneers as infantry units. 

(1) The adoption of a divisional reserve of machine guns consisting of two 

normal companies and one tank company. 

(m) The organization and composition of divisions, corps and army. 

(n) Replacement, amount and method. 

All of the foregoing topics and points were discussed and, after careful conSideration, 

agreed to as presented in the Operations Section's report. 

4. Mter reaching a final agreement on infantry organization and the principle of 

replacement, the question of artillery organization was taken up. It at once developed 

that there were very serious differences between the plan of the Operations Section 

(concurred in by the artillery officers belonging to the Expeditionary Headquarters) and 

that proposed by the artillery officers of the Baker Mission as presented by Colonel C. P. 

Summerall. 

- 109-
A copy of the prelimincuy paper, prepared by the Artillery Section of the Baker 

Mission, containing the basis of that section's plan is attached hereto.· This plan does 

not include the question of replacement units and as a result comparison between it and the 

Operations Section plan must be made on a basis of 20 combat divisions. 

The essential points of difference between the two plans were: 

Chiefs of Artillery for Corps and higher units in addition to the commander of the 

heavy artlllery of such units. The inclusion of the 3.8"- or 4.7"-howitzer in the typical 

armament of the divisional artlllery. The total number of distribution of guns. 

(a) The project of the Artillery Section of the Baker Mission contemplated a 

chief of artillery distinct from the artlllery commander, with a staff as set forth in (B), 

while the Operations project contemplates that the artlllery commander will perform the 

functions of chief of artlllery and that he be furnished a staff for that purpose in addition to his staff as a commander. 

Mter discussion, a majority of the officers present at the conference expressed their 

approval of the Operations Section plan. 

(b) The project of the Artillery Section of the Baker Mission included a regiment of 3.8" or 4.7" howitzers as a part of the divisional artillery while the Operations 

project proposed to substitute the 6" (155-mm.) howitzer for the 3.8" or 4.7" howitzer. 

The reasons inducing the Artillery Section of the Baker Mission to recommend the 3.8" or 

4.7" howitzer appear to have been the known mobility of that type and the opinion of 

British officers. The desire of the Operations Section to substitute the 6" howitzer was 

stated to be based upon the French practice, the belief that the present war would not 

assume the form of a war of any conSiderable movement, the evident superiority of the 155 

Schneider howitzer over the present or prospective 3.8" or 4.7" materiel, the fact that the 

latest British organization shows an apparent reduction of 33 1/3% in 4.5"-howitzers, and 

finally upon the present possibilities and future prospects of obtaining 155-mm. howitzers 

from the French. 

After discussion a majority of the officers present at the conference expressed their 

approval of the Operations Section plan. 

(c) The project of the Artillery Section of the Baker Mission as to guns and 

their distribution is set forth in (B). Under this project the following artillery 

(exclUSive of trench mortars and antiaviation guns) would be provided: 

(1) Each Division: 

12 batteries

(c) According to necessities and number available R. R. Arty. is provided. 

(d) Not in Operations report. but cable prepared. 

(e) According to British and French Hq. 20 divisions (combat) will occupy a 

front in a critical attack of but little over 20.000 yards. Totaling the guns per divisions 

gives. as appears above. 259-1/6 guns under the Artillery Committee (of the Baker Mission) 

scheme. Taking all classes of guns the number of artillery men (exclusive of ammunition 

service) to serve one gun is 60 at a low estimate. In round numbers then 15.540 artillery 

men are supporting 16.000 infantry even though we have not considered trench mortars and 

anti-aviation artillery. 

(f) In connection with the question of artillery. certain statements were made 

concerning the recent British operations at Messines. It was stated that probably 500.000 

men. including the several lines. were told off for this attack which was made on a front of 

ten miles. If a total 500.000 men. including reserves. were designated for the attack there 

would be not less than 17 divisions in the first and second lines. Since the artillery of 

the 1st and 2d lines is habitually employed in a critical attack. it would appear that the 

guns of the army. when prorated by division. might be expected to cover 1000 yards per 

division. 

It was further stated that at Messines 18-pdr's (3") were employed at the rate of one 

to each fifteen yards; 4.5" (3.8" or 4.7")-howitzers at the rate of one to each forty-five 

yards; 4.7"-guns at the rate of one to each one hundred yards; and one 6". 8" or 9.2"-

howitzer to each fifty yards. 

Based on the foregoing the following table was prepared and the comparisons presented 

to the conference.

The fact that the total number of guns in the above table under the heading Operations 

Project and those under Equivalent employed at Messines are practically equivalent. is not a 

mere coincidence. but was stated to have resulted from the fact that the Operations Section 

Committee had been largely guided by French and British advice and assistance.

Chapter I 

Combat Troops 

A. Infantry Division 

[Extract] 

1. The entrance of the United States into the war found the forces of the American 

Army scattered over the continental limits of the United States, the Canal Zone, and insular 

possessions. Tables of Organization for infantry and cavalry divisions authorized under the 

national defense act approved June 3, 1916, had been published by the War Department on May 

3, 1917 * * * but no divisions had been organized in accordance with these tables, nor had 

we an organization approximating a division which could be picked up bodily and sent to 

France to function as a division. Consequently the first division to be sent to France had 

to be organized after our entry into the war. 

A study of the conditions and requirements of service in France by the War College 

Division, based upon such information as was available at that time, led to the belief that 

the organization of the infantry division as given in Tables of Organization, May 3, 1917, 

should be considerably modified in order to obtain the full fighting power of this unit 

under the modes of warfare which then existed on the western front. A provisional organization for the first division to be sent to France was accordingly worked out by the War 

College Division and approved by the Secretary of War. While the War College Division had 

consulted the French and British Missions then in the United States, that Division specifically stated that the provisional organization was tentative only, and that modifications 

would be necessary. The Chief of Staff also recognized this fact and the Commander-in-Chief 

of the Expeditionary Forces was accordingly directed to study, and report at the earliest 

practicable date, the most suitable organization for our forces. The provisional organization * * * then, was intended to tide over the time required for a thorough investigation 

of the subject in France by the Staff of the A. E. F. 

2. A comparison of the two organizations of the infantry division mentioned in paragraph 1 -- that of the Infantry Division, maximum strength, Tables of Organization, May 3, 

1917, and that of the provisional organization authorized by the War Department --follows:

July 15,1917; Tables of Organization, August 8,1917; and of date of November 11,1918, is shown in Appendix F. 

3. The following remarks refer to the preceding paragraph and are numbered to correspond to the note-references therein. 

(a) At the time the Provisional Organization was authorized. the character of 

fighting on the western front made it necessruy to have a unit ready to relieve the unit in 

its front; a due regard for the economy of forces under such conditions. and the reduction 

to a minimum of the evil of mixing units. made it desirable to reduce the number of brigades 

from 3 to 2. 

- 118 -
(b) The reasons stated in (a) also applied to the reduction of the number of 

regiments in a brigade from 3 to 2. 

(c) The number of companies in an infantry regiment was limited by law to 

fifteen. In the Tables of Organization. May 3. 1917. the 15 companies were as follows: 

Headquarters Co. 1 

Supply Co. 1 

Machine Gun Co. 1 

Rifle Cos. 12 

Total 15 

This gave a total of 9 machine gun companies to the division. When the number of regiments 

per division was reduced to 4 in the Provisional Organization. it became necessary to change 

the organization of machine guns in order that there should be no corresponding reduction 

in the division of the number of organizations of this very important arm. Consequently 

one rifle company in each infantry battalion was replaced by a machine gun company. which 

resulted in the following classification of companies in the infantry regiment as authorized 

in the Provisional Organization: 

Headquarters Co. 1 

Supply Co. 1 

Machine Gun Cos. 3 

Rifle Cos. 9 

Total 14 

(d) In Tables of Organization. May 3. 1917. this was a regiment of 3.8-inch 

howitzers and not of 6-inch hOwitzers. 

(e) In the Provisional Organization the trench mortar battery was a separate 

unit and not a component part of the field artillery brigade. Later it was made a component part of that brigade. 

(f) Although the approved allowance of engineers for the Provisional Organization was placed at one battalion. an entire regiment was ordered to accompany the first 

expedition. 

(g) As alternative animal and motor-drawn transport was provided for the divisional trains by Tables of Organization. May 3. 1917. the former was selected to be used for 

the purposes of this report in order to afford a better comparison with the trains of the 

Provisional Organization. which. with the exception of the ammunition train. was based upon 

animal-drawn tables. 

(h) Train headquarters and Military Police was organized as in Table 28. Tables 

of Organization. May 3. 1917. with the addition of two rolling kitchens and two wagoners. 

This is a minimum-strength table. 

(i) The organization of the ammunition train. Tables of Organization. May 3. 1917.

Ul The supply train was organized as in Table 32, Tables of Organization, May 3, 

1917, with the addition of two rolling kitchens. This is a maximum-strength table. 

(k) The engineer train was organized as in Table 35, Tables of Organization, 

May 3, 1917, less the ponton section, and plus one rolling kitchen. This is a maximum-andminimum-strength table. 

(1) The sanitary train was organized as in Table 51, Tables of Organization, 

May 3, 1917, with the addition of six rolling kitchens. This is a maximum-strength table 

giving the organization of the sanitary train of a cavalry division. 

4. Among the many problems pressing for a solution when the Headquarters, A. E. F., 

arrived in Europe, that of an effective and efficient organization of the combat troops 

(including an organization for the infantry division to replace the Provisional Organization) and the service of supply was of the first importance. This question received the 

immediate attention of all concerned. The staff of the A. E. F. began the study of the 

organization of the British and French forces, and the experience of these forces in the 

first three years of the war. Talented officers from both forces assisted the Staff in its 

investigations and deliberations. Before this investigation and study by the Staff had 

been completed the War Department MiSSion, headed by Colonel Chauncey B. Baker, Q. M. Corps, 

arrived in France, via England. This Mission had been sent abroad by the War Department 

to visit points in Great Britain, France and Belgium for the purpose of making such observations in those countries as might be of value in the organization, training, transportation, operations, supply and administration of our own forces. The questions relating 

to organization were freely discussed among the members of the Staff and the Baker MiSSion, 

and the final recommendation as embodied in the report on organization, July II, 1917,* * * 

coloquially known as the General Organization Project, and more familiarly as the Graves 

Project, was made by both the Staff and the Baker Mission sitting as one body. 

5. The General Organization Project was the first definite scheme for the organization of an Army. It included army headquarters and army troops, corps headquarters, and 

corps troops, and divisions. The Organization of the Line of Communications was not included in this project but was later made the matter of a separate report. 

6. In the preparation of the General Organization Project a force consisting of about 

1,000,000 men was taken as a basis for the following reasons, as stated in the report: 

(a) A thorough study of the subject of organization could not be made 

without considering a balanced force, complete in all the weapons and 

services essential to modern war. 

(b) An army is the smallest unit fulfilling the conditions included 

in (a). 

- 120-
(c) The operations of the American forces in France must, for many 

reason .... , include offensive action on a large scale. To cany 

this action out on a front sufficient to produce results commensurate 

with the endeavor, there must be available 20 combat divisions for the 

operations. 

(d) With 20 combat divisions as a basis the corps and anny troops, 

and necessary Line of Communications troops were determined. 

It was further stated in the report that the adoption of the number of 1,000,000 men 

as a basis of study should not be construed as representing the maximum force which should 

be sent to or which would be needed in France. Rather, plans for the future, especially 

in reference to manufacture and supply, should be based on a force of at least 3,000,000 

men. 

7. The General Organization Project recommended that an anny should consist of army 

troops, 5 Corps: each corps consisting of corps troops, 4 combat divisions and 2 divisions 

for replacements, a total for the anny of approximately 943,205. This total did not include 

the Line of Communication troops which were estimated at 188,641, giving an aggregate for 

the Project of 1,131,846. The organization recommended in the G. O. P. is discussed in 

some detail in Paragraph 8 to 16 inclusive, and a comparison of this organization as approved by the War Department and published in Tables of Organization, Series A, August 8, 

1917 * * *, with the corresponding organization as it existed on November II, 1918 * * * the 

date the Armistice was signed, is given in the following paragraph. 

8. The Note references in the following table are explained in Paragraph 9. The 

strength of the units in the organization recommended in G. O. P. is taken from Tables of

9. The following remarks refer to the preceding paragraph and are numbered to correspond to the note-references therein. 

(a) The Provisional Organization of 2 brigades to the division and 2 regiments 

to the brigade was retained in the General Organization Project for the reasons given in 

paragraph 3(a). 

(b) The Provisional Organization authorized a total of 12 machine gun companies 

for the division. These were assigned one to each infantIy battalion, which required, as 

stated in paragraph 3 (c), the number of rille companies in each battalion to be reduced 

from 4 to 3, in order that the total number of companies in an infantry regiment should not 

exceed the number prescribed by law. From investigations made in France it appeared that 

3 rifle companies in an infantry battalion were not sufficient and that our organization in 

this respect should revert to the original number of 4. The inclusion of a recommendation 

to this effect in the General Organization Project made it necessary to remove from the infantry battalion the machine gun company which had been made a component part thereof by 

the Provisional Organization. 

The act of Congress, approved May IB, 1917, was interpreted at G. H. Q. as authorizing 

the following machine-gun organizations for the infantry division: 

1 company for each of 4 regiments 4 

3 companies for each 2 brigades 6 

4 companies for the division 4 

1 company, armored motor-car, for the Div. 1 

Total 15 

To comply with the law these organizations were included in the General Organization 

Proj ect as follows: 

1 company for each of 4 regiments 4 

2 brigade battalions of 3 cos. each 6 

1 divisional bn. of 5 companies. 5 

Total 15 

The companies were to be used 3 with each infantIy regiment and 3 as a division reserve. 

The division reserve was to consist of 2 normal companies and one tank company. This was 

approved by the War Department and published in Tables of Organization, Series A, August B, 

1917, except that the strength of the divisional battalion was fixed at 4 companies instead 

of 5. The machine-gun organization complied with the law, but in view of the use to be made 

of machine-gun organizations, as contemplated at that time, it had some undesirable features. 

For instance, it was originally contemplated (a policy that was subsequently modified) that 

a machine gun company should be attached for duty with each infantry battalion. This required the machine gun companies for this purpose to be drawn from three sources; the regimental companies, the brigade battalions, and the divisional battalion, and resulted in 

effect in making the brigade and divisional battalions organizations in name only. 

It having become necessary to make a reduction in the number of animals required by a 

division, it was deCided in September, 1917 (P 176, Par. 2) that the two machine gun companies constituting the divisional machine-gun reserve should be motorized and that the 

value of this reserve as a mobile unit would be enhanced thereby. 

On November 30, 1917 (A 457 Par. IB) the War Department cabled that Tables of Organization would be revised so as to authorize one 4-company machine gun battalion for each infantry brigade, and one 2-company machine gun battalion, motorized, for each division, with 

the proviso that all 4 companies of the brigade battalion might be detached and assigned 

permanently to duty with infantIy battalions. This change resulted in the machine-gun 

organization as it existed on November II, 191B. Machine gun companies were not permanently 

assigned to battalions, but were attached to them in accordance with the requirements of the 

particular situation. 

- 123 -
(c) In the Provisional Organization the strength of the rifle company was fixed 

at 4 officers and 200 soldiers. This strength was increased in the General Organization 

Project to 6 officers and 250 soldiers in order to maintain the minimum effective strength 

considered necessary by both the French and British. 

(d) A cavalry squadron from the corps cavalry was to be attached to each division. 

(e) The strength of an engineer company as recommended in the General Organization Project (6 officers and 250 soldiers) was increased over that provided for in the 

Provisional Organization (4 officers and 164 soldiers) in order to supply laborers and 

fatigue details, and thus to avoid making such details from line troops. 

(f) The Aero Squadron given as a component unit of the division in the Provisional Organization was omitted from the division in the General Organization Project as it 

was thought such units would be better placed in corps troops. 

(g) The first organization of the Military Police Corps by Section XI, G. O. 

No. Ill, A. E. F., July 8, 1918 (see paragraph 14-h) had the effect of replacing the two 

companies of military police forming a part of train headquarters and military police of 

the division by one company of the military police corps. At first the new military police 

companies had a strength of 3 officers and 125 soldiers but, this strength proving inadequate, the companies were increased to 5 officers and 200 soldiers each (P 1775 paragraph 

1 A, and A 2108 paragraph 7). The replacement of two companies of military police by one 

company of the military police corps, not only reduced the number of soldier personnel 

from 300 to 200, but, made this personnel subject to the standards established for the 

military police corps as a whole as regards intelligence, education, training and physical 

condition. 

(h) The engineer train as provided for in the Provisional Organization included 

a searchlight section. This section was omitted from the engineer train as recommended in 

the General Organization Project as it was considered at that time that searchlights would 

be better placed in an engineer organization forming a part of corps troops. 

(1) The sanitary train authorized by the Provisional Organization corresponded 

to the maximum strength table authorized for a cavalry division by Tables of Organization, 

May 3, 1917. This train had only 3 ambulance companies and 3 field hospital companies. 

In the light of investigations made in France a larger train seemed necessary. Consequently 

the General Organization Project recommended one having 4 ambulance companies (2 motor and 

2 animal-drawn) and 4 field hospitals (2 motor and 2 animal-drawn). In a study made by 

the General Staff in September 1917 on the reduction of the number of animals in a division 

one of the recommendations made therein was that in the sanitary train 3 of the ambulance 

companies instead of 2, and 3 of the field hospitals instead of 2, should be motorized. 

This recommendation was cabled to the War Department, September 23, 1917 (P 176, paragraph 

2, subparagraph 2) and approved by the War Department October 7, 1917 (A 251, Par. 15). 

B. Depot Division 

10. The General Organization Project provided for 2 replacement and base divisions 

organized the same as combat divisions except as noted below: 

The 3d division of each corps (corps replacement and school division) to have the 

following changes: 

(a) Artillery brigade to be organized with one 3-inch field artillery regiment, one 

4.7-inch gun field artillery regiment (motor), one 6-inch gun field artUlery regiment 

(motor). Brigade headquarters and 2d and 3d regiments to be detached to corps artUlery. 

(b) One battalion of the engineer regiment to be specialized and detached for 

use in the corps engineers (see paragraph 12-e). 

(c) Two ambulance companies and 2 field hospital companies (motor) to be detached 

for duty with corps troops (see paragraph 12-g). 

- 124-
The 6th division of each corps (corps base and training division) to have the following changes: 

(a) Artillery brigade to be organized with one 3-inch field artillery regiment 

(horsed), one 6-inch field artillery howitzer regiment (horsed), one 3-inch field artillery 

regiment motorized complete (4 guns and 6 caissons per battery - all to be carried on motor 

trucks). The last-mentioned regiment to be detached to army troops (see paragraph 14-d). 

(b) Two ambulance companies and 2 field hospital companies (motor) to be detached for duty with corps troops (see paragraph 12-g). 

On August 27. 1918 the Commander-in-Chief cabled to the War Department as follows 

(P 1627 paragraph 1): 

Due to Critical situation existing until recently five out of six divisions 

arriving in France have been used as combat divisions and replacements have been 

handled through base divisions and provisional replacement depots without the intermediazy of replacement divisions contemplated by original A. E. F. organization 

project. Experience thus gained shows that original organization project may 

profitably be modified by omitting replacement divisions but continuing one base 

depot division in each group of six divisions. While experience shows that original 

project of four combat divisions per army corps and the provision of corps troops 

on that basis is in general correct it has also been clearly demonstrated that no 

fixed order of battle can be preseIVed within the corps but that corps staffs must 

be considered as a unit and that divisions must be transferred from corps to corps 

to meet vazymg necessities. In order. however. to provide sufficient flexibility. 

especially in preparing for future offenSives it is necessazy to create a few corps 

staffs in addition to one corps staff for each four combat divisions. The number 

of corps and divisions per army will necessarily vazy but experience to date indicates that army troops should continue to be furnished for each group of 20 combat 

divisions as provided for each army of 30 divisions in original A. E. F. organization project and approved modifications thereof. Summarizing the above I recommend that replacement divisions be omitted; that one base depot division be provided 

in each group of 6 divisions; that corps troops be provided for each 4 combat divisions; that army troops be provided for each twenty combat divisions as contemplated 

by the original A. E. F. organization project and approved modifications thereof. 

This general plan was approved by the War Department. August 31. 1918 (A 1896). 

It will be noted that the General Organization Project which provided 2 replacement 

divisions in each group of 6 divisions. included the provision that the 2 replacement 

divisions should supply the following corps and army troops: 

1 Artillery brigade hdqrs. to corps troops 

1 - 4.7-inch gun F. A. regt. (motor) to corps troops 

1 - 6-inch gun F. A. regt. (motor) to corps troops 

1 - 3-inch F. A. regt. (motorized) to army troops 

1 Battalion of Engineers to corps troops 

4 Ambulance companies (motor) to corps troops 

4 Field Hospital companies (motor) to corps troops. 

The change in organization from 2 replacement divisions in each group of 6 divisions to that 

of one depot division in each group of 6 divisions. made necessary a corresponding change 

in the method of providing some of the units above-mentioned (a change requiring some of 

them to be originally organized as corps and army troops) as the number of depot divisions 

would no longer be sufficient for this purpose. 

C. Corps Troops 

11. The first definite scheme for the organization of corps troops is that which 

- 125-
appears in the General Organization Project. A number of modifications in this scheme were 

made consequently as the necessity therefor became evident. A comparison of the scheme as 

given in the General Organization Project with the corresponding organization as it existed 

on November 11, 1918 (see Appendix G), is given below. The note-references are explained in 

paragraph 12.

12. (a) Of the corps cavalry one squadron was to be attached to each division. 

(b) The General Organization Project provided that the artillery brigade of the 

corps artillery should be drawn from the divisional artillery of the third division (replacement) of each corps. This policy was modified in practice when it became necessary to use 

some of the replacement divisions in the operations during the spring and summer of 1918. 

When the policy of having only one base depot division in each group of 6 divisions was 

adopted (see paragraph 10) the corps artillery could no longer be drawn from a replacement division but had to be regularly organized and provided as such. 

- 126-
(c) To secure better coordination. cohesion and control an Antiaircraft Service 

was established at the Headquarters Army Artillery. First Army. by Section III. G. O. No. 51. 

A. E. F .. April 3. 1918. This service was later placed under direct control of G. H. Q .• 

A. E. F .. being designated as the Antiaircraft SeIVice. A. E. F .. by Section I. G. O. 

No. 181. A. E. F .• October 16. 1918. Based upon experience a request that corps antiaircraft battalions be transferred from corps troops to army troops and that they be reorganized 

into sectors instead of battalions was cabled to the War Department on August 24. 1918 

(P 1620 paragraph 1 E). The proposed reorganization was approved by the War Department 

on October 27. 1918 (A 2103 paragraph 16). The antiaircraft battalions were reorganized 

by Section V. G. O. No. 205. A. E. F .. November 14. 1918. into sectors. 

(d) The personnel for the seIVice to be rendered by the Observation and Sound 

Ranging Section was originally provided in Tables of Organization. by the corps engineer 

regiment. a survey and ranging company being included for this purpose. Later the survey 

and ranging companies of the corps engineer regiments were organized into a Sound and Flash 

Ranging Battalion. Army Troops. per Section II. G. O. No. 131. A. E. F .. August 7. 1918. 

(See paragraph e-3 following). 

(e) The 3 additional companies of engineers provided for in the General Organization Project were to be taken from the engineer regiment of the 3d division (replacement) 

of each corps. and were to be specialized as follows: 

1 field searchlight company. 

1 antiaircraft searchlight company. 

1 survey and ranging company. 

Tables of Organization prepared by the War Department for the corps regiment of engineers (See table Ill. Series B. with amendments to February 11. 1918) provided for 2 

battalions of 3 companies each. The 1st was a sapper battalion. while the 2d was a searchlight and surveying battalion. composed of 2 searchlight companies and 1 survey and ranging company. Provision was also made for the assignment of another battalion of sappers to 

the regiment temporarily to be drawn from the 3d or 6th divisions (replacement divisions) 

of each corps. This organization of the corps engineers was not satisfactory in that the 

regiment was not a homogeneous organization. its two battalions being organized for entirely 

different kinds of work. and a third battalion (sappers) had to be drawn from the engineer 

regiment of another division. To remedy this state of affairs the following changes were 

made in the organization of army and corps engineer troops by Section II. G. O. No. 131. 

A. E. F .• August 7.1918 (See P 1573 paragraph IE and A 1925 paragraph 2). 

(1) The corps engineer regiment. less the second battalion. was transferred 

to the depot (replacement) division. 

(2) For each army a regiment of searchlight troops was organized to be composed 

of the searchlight companies included in the second battalion of the corps engineer regiments. The searchlight regiment was to have a regimental headquarters. but no battalion 

headquarters; the number of companies of the regiment was to be variable. but based on two 

companies for each corps in the army. 

(3) For each army a sound and flash ranging battalion. army troops. was organized 

to be formed from the survey and ranging companies of the second battalion of the corps 

engineer regiments. The number of companies in each battalion was to be variable. but 

based on one company per corps. 

(4) The engineer regiment of the depot division (replacement) was to be assigned 

as the corps engineer regiment. 

The provisions of the preceding subparagraph had to be modified. so as to permit a 

number of corps engineer regiments to be specially organized as such. when the policy of 

providing depot divisiOns at the rate of one in each group of 6 divisions was adopted (see 

paragraph 10). 

(£) The General Organization Project provided for a corps engineer park formed 

by consolidation of divisional engineer trains. When the reorganization of the corps 

- 127-
engineer regiment, referred to in paragraph 12 (e), took place, an engineer train was to 

be provided for each corps regiment. 

(g) The General Organization Project provided that the sanitary train should 

be motorized and that it should be taken from the 3d and 6th divisions (replacement) of 

each corps. The reduction of the number of replacement or depot divisions to one in each 

group of 6 divisions, made it necessary that some of the sanitary trains be specially 

organized (see paragraph 10). 

(h) The mobile veterinary hospital provided by the General Organization Project 

for the corps was modified in Tables of Organization prepared by the War Department by 

reducing it in strength and by adding veterinary units to the divisions. 

(1) See paragraph 16, Air Service, Zone of Advance. 

Ol The General Organization Proj ect provided a meteorological section for the 

corps air service. Later all meteorological activities were taken over by the Signal 

Corps, and provision was made in Tables of Organization for the assignment of certain 

meteorological units to air service and artillery organizations requiring meteorological 

data. Experience having shown that this service should be territorial rather than tactical 

a proposed reorganization was cabled to the War Department on November 3, 1918 (P 1863 

paragraph 1 A) and was approved on November 13, 1918 (A 2178 paragraph 1). This reorganization provided a total of 49 officers and 404 soldiers for the service, which was to be 

supervised and controlled by the Chief Signal Officer, A. E. F. 

(k) Upon organization of the Military Police Corps (see paragraph 9-g and 14-h) 

a company of military police was assigned to each corps (G. O. No. 200, A. E. F., November 

9, 1918). 

D. Anny Troops 

13. The General Organization Project included the first definite scheme for the 

organization of army troops. Some changes were later made in the scheme and some troops 

were shifted from other classifications to that of army troops as the necessity therefor 

became apparent. A comparison of the scheme as given in the General Organization Project 

with the corresponding organization as it existed on November 11, 1918, * * * is given 

below. The note-references are explained in Paragraph 14.

14. (a) The General Organization Project provided one regiment of infantry (approximate strength. 3100) as army traffic police and headquarters guard. This regiment was absorbed by the Military Police Corps upon its organization in October 1918 (see paragraph 14-h). 

(b) The howitzer brigades as given in the General Organization Project were to 

- 129-
be 8-inch. 9.2-inch or 9.5-inch. 

(c) The organization provided for each of the howitzer brigades on November 11. 

1918. was 2 regiments of 8-inch howitzers and 1 regiment of9.2-inch or 240 mm. The 

strength of the 12 regiments as shown in the table was determined by using Tables of 

Organization for 8-inch and 9.2-inch. 

(d) The General Organization Project provided that the 5 regiments of 3-inch 

field artillery should be drawn from the 6th division (replacement) of each corps. When 

the policy of having 2 replacement divisions in each group of 6 divisions was changed to 1 

depot division in each group of 6 divisions. a corresponding change had to be made in the 

method of providing the 3-inch regiments for army troops as the number of depot divisions 

would no longer be sufficient for this purpose (see paragraph 10). 

(e) These Antiaircraft batteries were designated in the General Organization 

Project as platoons. Later. in Tables of Organization. they were designated as batteries. 

(0 The antiaircraft sector materiel appears in army troops as a result of the 

reorganization of the antiaircraft battalions. which were previously included in corps 

troops (see paragraph 12-c). 

(g) Upon the organization of the Second Army. A. E. F .. October 10. 1918. the 

units of railway artillery which previously had been organized into the Railway Artillery 

Reserve. First Army. were removed from the First Army. and were assigned to and constituted 

the Railway Artillery Reserve. A. E. F. by Section N. G. O. No. 175. A. E. F .• October 10. 

1918 (see paragraph 15). 

(h) The reorganization of the Military Police Service into the Military Police 

Corps as a separate and distinct corps resulted in the regiment of infantry. provided by the 

General Organization Project as army traffic police and headquarters guards. being absorbed 

by the Military Police Corps. 

The aSSignment of military police companies to combat organizations (G. O. No. 200. 

A. E. F .. November 9. 1918) was as follows: 

To each division 

To each army corps 

To each army 

1 company; 

1 company; 

4 companies organized as 1 bn. 

The details of the organization of this corps appear later in this report under Military 

Police Corps. (See paragraphs 42 to 45). 

(i) A Gas and Flame Service consisting of one regiment of engineers was recommended 

in the General Organization Project and the necessary authority for such an organization 

was promulgated in paragraph 1. G. O. No. 108. W. D. August 15. 1917. A study of probable 

gas operations. based upon the extent of front which it was planned at that time to take 

over as the American sector. led to the conclusion that one gas and flame regiment of two 

battalions was not sufficient for the extent of front as planned. In order to secure a 

homogeneous organization and to provide additional strength for the regiment. a general 

reorganization of the Gas Service was proposed to the War Department on June 4. 1918 (P 1240 

paragraph 5 A). The War Department approved the proposed organization on July 16. 1918 

(A 1724 paragraph 1). but added 325 officers and 1200 soldiers for supply. technical and 

field work of the Second Army. and changed the name of the service to Chemical Warfare 

Service. Details of this reorganization appear later in this report under Chemical Warfare 

Service. (See paragraph 38 to 41.) This included an increase of the regiment from 2 to 6 

battalions. giving it a strength of 5083 officers and soldiers. On September 12. 1918. 

when it seemed probable that the front of the American sector as originally planned (upon 

which a force of a strength of 1 regiment of 6 battalions had been based) would be considerably extended. a recommendation that 2 additional gas regiments be authorized was forwarded to the War Department (P 1679. paragraph 1). This was approved by the War Department on October 8. 1918 (A 2027. paragraph 6). 

U) The General Organization Project recommended: 

A mining service consisting of 1 regiment. 

A construction service consisting of 1 regiment. 

- 130-
An electIical-mechanical seIVice consisting of 

1 regiment which in addition to lighting and 

searchlights, was to be charged with water supply. 

G. O. No. 108, War Department, August 15, 1917, authoIized: 

A mining seIVice consisting of 

1 regimental headquarters, 

6 engineer companies (mining). 

A general construction seIVice consisting of 

1 regimental headquarters, 

6 engineer companies (construction) 

A water supply seIVice consisting of 

1 regimental headquarters, 

6 engineer companies (water supply). 

Experience having shown that for proper supeIVision and administration, the seIVices abovementioned (the units of which were frequently distributed over wide areas), should have 

battalion headquarters, a recommendation was made to the War Department on October 23,1918 

(P 1829 paragraph 1) that these seIVices be organized according to Table 301, Series D: also 

that 6 sanitary detachments for water analysis be authoIized for each water supply regiment. 

This was approved in principle by the War Department on November 11, 1918 (A 2166. paragraph 10), the mining and water supply seIVices to be incorporated in Table 201, Series C, 

and G. O. No. 108, W. D. 1917, to be amended as to the General Construction seIVice. 

(k) The General Organization Project provided for a materiel seIVice consisting of1 regiment of engineers, 

1 ponton park (3 heavy divisions) 

G. O. No. 108, W. D., August 15, 1917. authoIized an engineer supply seIVice consisting of1 regimental headquarters, 

1 battalion of engineers (supply) 

1 battalion of engineers (workshop) 

and an army ponton park consisting of 

3 ponton divisions, 

1 supply division. 

(1) The surveying and printing seIVice as recommended in the General Organization Project was to consist of 1 regiment of engineers: 5 companies of which were to be 

detached to corps. 

G. O. No. 108, W. D. authoIized a surveying and printing seIVice consisting of1 battalion of engineers, 

Additional officers to be attached as needed. 

(m) G. O. No. 108. W. D. authoIized for each army a road service consisting of1 regimental headquarters, 

4 battalions of engineers (road. 3 cos. each). 

6 seIVice battalions (4 cos. each), 

10 truck companies (31 trucks each), 

5 wagon companies (61 wagons each). 

and for the Line of Communications a quarry seIVice consisting of1 regimental headquarters. 

- 131 -
2 battalions of engineers (quany. 3 cos. each). 

3 seIVice battalions (4 cos. each). 

and a light-railway service consisting ofConstruction Department1 regimental headquarters. 

5 battalions of engineers (railway. 3 cos. each), 

3 seIVice battalions (4 cos. each). 

Operation and mechanical department1 regimental headquarters. 

4 battalions of engineers (railway. 3 cos. each), 

3 seIVice battalions (4 cos. each). 

As the greater part of the work to be performed by the light railway and quany seIVices 

pertained to the Zone of the Advance it became desirable to change the status of these 

seIVices from that of Line of Communication troops to that of army troops. and thus place 

the direction of their operations and their control in the hands of army commanders. Experience had also shown that the personnel originally contemplated for these seIVices. as 

well as the road seIVice. was not sufficient for the amount of work required of them. Consequently a proposed reorganization of these seIVices was forwarded to the War Department 

on September 3. 1918. (Courier P 167 paragraph 1). These services were placed in the 

classification of army troops and the reorganization proposed was as follows: 

A roads seIVice consisting of1 regiment (roads) consisting of1 regimental headquarters. 

5 battalions of engineers (roads) each consisting of1 battalion headquarters. 

1 wagon company. 

2 truck companies. 

3 engineer companies (roads). 

8 seIVice battalions (roads) of 4 cos. each. 

A light railway seIVice consisting of5 regiments (light railway) each of1 regimental headquarters. 

1 battalion (3 cos. light railway operating. and 

1 co. engineer. advance light railway shop). 

1 battalion (2 cos. light railway maintenance of way. 

1 co. engineer. light railway construction). 

1 battalion of engineers (light railway central repair shop), 

11 service battalions (light railway. 4 cos. each), 

A quarry seIVice consisting of2 battalions (quarry. 4 cos. each), 

3 service battalions (quany. 4 cos. each), 

The reorganization proposed was approved by the War Department on October 28. 1918 (A 2108. 

paragraph 1). 

(n) An electrical-mechanical seIVice consisting of 1 regiment of engineers was 

recommended in the General Organization Project. This seIVice was to be charged with water 

supply. lighting. and searchlights. G. O. No. 108. W. D .• August 15. 1917. which provided 

certain special and technical engineer troops for each army. did not include an electricalmechanical seIVice. The Adjutant General of the Army in an indorsement to the Chief of 

- 132-
Engineers, December 7, 1917, stated that, by direction of the President, an electrical and 

mechanical service consisting of 2 companies of engineers (electricians and mechanics) 

would be added to the general project for the Engineer Department in France, published in 

G. O. No. 108, W. D., August 15, 1917. On December 12, 1917 (P 366 paragraph 1 A) a cable 

was sent to the War Department in which it was stated "General Orders 108 make no provision 

for electrical-mechanical units and cables received indicate that only one company is under 

consideration. One battalion of three companies should be organized for this service and 

the first two companies should be shipped at once and it may be necessary to request shipment of third company in advance of third phase. Arrangements should be made to expand 

this battalion to form a regiment upon receipt of cables from here to that effect". On 

December 23, 1917 the War Department replied (A 550 paragraph 4) that a battalion headquarters and 3 electrical-mechanical companies were then being formed and that battalion 

headquarters and 2 companies would be shipped as soon as equipped. It appears that on 

December 22, 1917, the Adjutant General of the Army informed the Chief of Engineers, by 

letter that the electrical and mechanical service in France would be increased to the 

following: 

1 regimental headquarters. 

2 battalion headquarters, 

4 companies of engineers (electricians and mechanics.) 

No special provision was made by the General Organization Project for a camouflage 

service. On August 5. 1917 a request (P 77 paragraph 5) was made to the War Department 

that "one company of army engineer supply regiment called for in General Organization 

Project should be specialized to start camouflage work." On April 1, 1918 (P 829 paragraph 2) a recommendation was sent to the War Department that the camouflage service 

be increased so that it would consist of 1 battalion headquarters and 2 companies of engineers. This was approved by the War Department on April 20, 1918 (A 1139 paragraph 1). 

On August 31, 1918, in order to clear up and definitely fix the status of the electrical-mechanical service and the camouflage service, a cablegram (P 1647 paragraphs IE and IF) 

was sent to the War Department recommending in effect that these services be included in 

army troops, and organized as follows: 

An electrical and mechanical service consisting of1 regimental headquarters, 

2 battalions of engineers (elec. and mechan .. each of 3 cos.), 

A camouflage service consisting of1 battalion of engineers (camouflage) of1 battalion headquarters, 

2 engineer companies. 

This was approved by the War Department on September 18, 1918 (P 1948 paragraph 14). 

(0) See paragraph 12 (e-2) 

(p) See paragraph 12 (e-3) 

(q) When the American Army began operations on a large scale the need for trained 

ordnance personnel to handle artillery ammunition, trench warfare material and pyrotechnics 

at army ammunition depots and dumps in the Zone of the Advance at once become evident. 

Attempts to meet the situation by using pioneer infantry and French territorials were not 

satisfactory. To provide an organization of trained personnel for this important work it 

was recommended to the War Department on October 23, 1918 (P 1829 paragraph 11) that Anny 

troops be increased by the organization of ammunition supply companies at the rate of one 

for each combat division. This was approved by the War Department on November 11, 1918 

(A 2166 paragraph 1). 

(r) The supervision and control of the radio service naturally fell to the 

Signal Corps. This was set forth in G. O. No. 31, A. E. F .. February 16, 1918. and more 

specifically in Section III, G. O. No. 152. A. E. F., September 10. 1918. which stated that 

- 133-
"the Chief Signal Officer, American E. F. will exercise general supervision and control of 

all radio operations in the A E. F., including those of the Artillery, Air Service, Tank 

Corps and other special services." There had been a small radio intelligence detachment in 

the A E. F. which had rendered valuable service, but it was small in numbers, and experience had shown the desirability of increasing this personnel. Accordingly on July 28, 

1918, the War Department was requested (C. P. 46, paragraph 1) to authorize the organization of an Army Radio Section for each army, to consist of 9 officers and 337 soldiers. 

This was approved by the War Department on August 22, 1918 (A 1862, paragraph 20). 

(s) Cablegram A 478 paragraph 6, War Department, December 6, 1917, stated that 

personnel, officers and men, for the Pigeon Service, had been authOrized as follows: 

Headquarters A E. F. 17 

Each army corps 9 

Each division 14 

As the character of the service in France would require divisions and corps frequently to 

change their location it was conSidered that a pigeon service, which is essentially one of 

locality, should not be a part of these units. In May 1918 (P 1131, paragraph 1 and P 1181, 

paragraph 1) the view that the Pigeon Service should be an army institution so that lofts 

could be assigned to sectors as needed was communicated to the War Department. It was 

further recommended that pigeon companies be authOrized at the rate of one per army. The 

War Department approved the recommendation on June 30, 1918 (A 1625, paragraph 12). 

(t) The Army Ordnance Park (repair depot) provided for in the General Organization Project was, by the Service of the Rear Project of September 18, 1917, removed from 

army troops and placed under command of the Chief Ordnance Officer, Line of Communications. 

(u) See paragraph 13, Air Service, Zone of Advance. 

E. Air Service, Zone of Advance 

15. The General Organization Project provided no air service units as component parts 

of divisions. It provided these units for corps and armies, and they appear as component 

parts of corps troops and army troops respectively as follows:

It will be noted that the principal differences of this program for the Air Service from 

that set forth in the General Organization Project were the addition of a strategical reserve, doubling the number of park companies with corps and armies, omission of pursuit 

squadrons as a component part of the Air Service with divisions, and the addition of 10 

pursuit and bombardment squadrons to the Air Service of anny troops. These changes were 

due to study of the Air Service organization during the two months following the preparation of the General Organization Proj ect. 

The Air Service. insofar as organization is concerned. has since the beginning of 

American participation in the war undergone many changes. due to the advance made in aerial 

warfare, to our own increased experience and knowledge of the subject, etc. Tables of 

Organization for the Air Service were prepared in September 1917, another set in January, 

1918, and finally a third set in September 1918. The last mentioned Tables of Organization give the Air Service units in corps, armies and the G. H. Q. reserve, as follows:

F. Railway Artillery Reserve 

16. The General Organization Project included. in army troops. railway artillery as 

follows: 

lO-inch gun materiel: 

40 guns (20 batteries) 

Staff and technical personnel 

12-inch seacoast mortars: 

30 guns (10 batteries) 

Staff and technical personnel 

2000 

1500 

The proj ect was based upon the number of seacoast guns then stated to be available in the 

United States (see P 399 paragraph 4). Later. based upon consideration of the manufacturing facilities of the United States as regards railway artillery production. upon the consideration of the power required for the great effort to be made by the United States in 

the war and the need of railway artillery as a part of such power. the railway artillery 

project was modified from time to time in accordance with developments both in France and 

in the United States. In considering this problem it was necessary. of course. to look far 

ahead. not only with the view of bringing the full power of the United States into play toward 

winning the war. but also because of the long time required to manufacture railway artillery. 

The project as it stood on November 11. 1918. which included the railway artillery to 

be supplied up to and including 1921. was as follows: 

36 eight-inch rifles. 35 caliber. 

16 eight-inch rifles. Navy. 

36 ten-inch rifles. 

16 twelve-inch rifles. 

18 fourteen-inch rifles. 

40 twelve-inch mortars. 10 caliber. 

When the Armistice was signed the Railway Artillery Reserve had 71 pieces distributed as follows: 

30th Artillery Brigade. C. A. C. 

42d Artillery - 8 pieces. 190-mm. and 16 pieces. 240-mm. 

52d Artillery - 12 pieces. 320-mm. 

53d Artillery - 4 pieces. 400-mm .• 2 pieces 340-mm. and 

8 pieces. 190 mm. 

43d Artillery - 16 pieces. 190-mm. 

40th Artillery Brigade. C. A. C. 

Three regiments (73d. 74th and 75th) organized to man 8. 10. and 12-inch. 

No materiel available in France for assignment. 

U. S. NAVAL RAILWAY BATTALION 

5 batteries. 5 pieces - 14-inch. 

The railway artillery. originally included in the General Organization Project as a 

part of the Army Artillery. was given the designation Railway Artillery Reserve. First 

- 137-
Army. A. E. F. by G. O. No. 51. A. E. F .. April 3. 1918. and assigned a commander. who. 

however. was subject to the orders of the commanding general. Army Artillery. First Army. 

This status continued until the Second Army was fonned when it was changed to Railway 

Artillery Reserve. A. E. F. by Section IV. G. O. No. 175. A. E. F .• October 10. 1918. 

thereby passing out of the classification of anny troops. 

G. Tank Corps 

17. While the organization of a Tank Service was not discussed in the General 

Organization Project. except to recommend that one of the companies of the 5-company divisional machine gun battalion be equipped as a tank company (see paragraph 9-b). this problem received early consideration. The first tank project. submitted on September 23. 1917. 

and based upon an anny of 20 fighting and 10 replacement divisions (base and training) 

provided for the following: 

SERVICE UNIT NO. OF UNITS STRENGTH

Heavy tanks were organized into two tank centers. one of two battalions and one of 

three battalions. Light tanks were organized into six tank centers. four of three 

battalions and two of four battalions. In each case the battalion was to consist of three 

companies. The organization of higher headquarters was tentatively as follows: 

2 general Tank Hdqrs. 

8 Tank Center Hdqrs. 

25 Battalion Hdqrs. 

64 

672 

2050 

Later. due to changes in British and French organization as well as alteration of 

material to correspond to changed ideas. it was deemed necessary to change our own organization. Accordingly a second project was fOIWarded to the War Department on February 18. 

1918. The principal changes resulted in increasing and decreaSing the strength of certain 

units. but the total of 14.827 was not changed. Under date of March 24. 1918 (A 967 paragraph 4) the project was approved by the War Department with minor changes. and the designation of this service was changed to Tank Corps. 

- 138-
As the number of our combat troops increased and as they became organized into armies 

it became evident that the organization of the Tank. Service should be modified and the 

strength increased. Based upon the experience had up to that date a third project was forwarded to the War Department on August 12, 1918. This project provided that tank. troops 

be G. H. Q. troops and belong to the strategical reserve. It was based upon two armies, 

each composed of 5 corps (20 fighting and 10 replacement divisions), but it was understood, 

nevertheless, that the project was considered to be sufficient for the 80 divisions scheduled to arrive by July I, 1919. The project included the following: 

G. H. Q. (Tank Corps)

There was no General Headquarters organization specially authorized by the War Department 

until an Army Headquarters was established in France by Section IV. G. O. No. 124 W. D .• 

September 20. 1917. These headquarters as thus established were to consist of-

(a) Commissioned officers then on duty at the headquarters of the United States 

Forces in France. and such others as might be assigned or attached to duty 

t..lJ.erewith by the War Department. or the Commanding General. United States 

Forces in France. 

(b) Civilian employees. the number of whom was regulated in the same manner as 

that of the commissioned officers. 

(c) 36 Sergeants-major. 

(d) One army headquarters troop. consisting of 7 officers and 458 soldiers. 

Early in the autumn of 1917. the General Staff began work on Tables of Organization for 

General Headquarters. A. E. F. These tables as finally approved by the Commander-In-Chief 

were fOlWarded to the War Department on December 22. 1917. These tables may be summarized

The proposed Tables of Organization were approved by the War Department, February 8, 1918, 

(A 743 paragraph 5) with some minor changes. Subsequently other minor changes were made. 

among which were the condition of a Historical Section to the Chief of Staffs Section, the 

increase in the number of officers in the General Staff Sections. and the addition of a 

survey and printing battalion. The Tables of Organization were, in effect, considerably 

modified by G. O. No. 31, A E. F., February 16,1918, which removed the Chief Quartermaster, 

the Chief Surgeon, the Chief Engineer Officer, the Chief Ordnance Officer, the Chief Signal 

Officer, the Chief of Air Service, the Chief of Gas Service, and the Provost Marshal 

General, with their office personnel, from General Headquarters and placed them under the 

Commanding General, Service of Supply. The Director General of Transportation Section was 

never a part of General Headquarters. A revision of the Tables of Organization for G.H.Q. was 

being made at the time the armistice was signed, but that event stopped further consideratian of the matter. 

The headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces, were first established in Paris, and 

remained there until September 1, 1917, on which date the headquarters were transferred to 

Chaumont. The designation Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces was changed to 

General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces by Section I. G. O. No. 11, A E. F., 

January 17, 1918, pursuant to authority of the War Department (A 636 paragraph 5). 

I. Organization of Corps and Annies

20. The character of service in France made it impracticable to maintain a fixed 

organization as to corps and armies. A shifting of divisions from corps to corps was 

necessary. and the assignment of the number of divisions to corps and the number of corps 

to armies followed no fixed rule. but was made in accordance with the requirements of the 

particular situation.

Service of Supply Troops 

A. Original Service of the Rear Project 

22. The General Organization Project recommended by the Commander-in-Chiefwas forwarded to the War Department July 11, 1917, soon after his arrival in France. That project 

contemplated that our Line of Communications and Service of the Rear troops would be about 

20% of our combatant or forward services. In accordance with this principle it was recommended that we proceed without delay with the organization of an initial force of about 

1,000,000 men in France, composed of 20 combat and 10 replacement and base divisions, with 

the necessary corps and army troops. total 943,205, and Line of Communications and Service 

of the Rear troops. 188,641; aggregate, 1,131,846. 

23. This General Organization Project of July 11, 1917, contained no details relative 

to the composition and organization of the Line of Communications and Service of the Rear 

troops, but stated that recommendations as to these troops would be forwarded later. 

24. The Commander-in-Chief after carefully considering several suggested plans looking to material changes in the methods prescribed in our Field Service Regulations for the 

organization of the Line of Communications, deCided that, all things considered, the F. S. 

R. furnished the best basis upon which to begin the organization and operation of the 

L.ofC. 

25. A project for engineer services of the rear, including railways. was cabled to 

the War Department August 5, 1917, and the complete Service of the Rear project was forwarded by the Commander-in-Chief September 18, 1917. 

26. It was found that it was necessary to increase the estimates contained in the 

general organization project. The combatant or forward services had to be raised from 

943,205 to 998,795, an increase of 55,590. The Line of Communications troops and rearward 

services, instead of being 20% of the forward services, had to be increased to about 33% 

of the forward services, or 35% of the grand total. Therefore, the estimated 188,641 Line 

of Communications and Service of the Rear troops was raised to 329,653. It should be noted 

that these figures include the divisional trains, hospital units, and similar noncombatant 

personnel not forming part of the combatant regiments. 

27. The grand total for the A. E. F. general organization project was raised from 

1,131,846, to 1,328,448. This force was considered the minimum that we should prepare for 

service in France. No maximum was set. 

28. The Line of Communications or Service of the Rear troops were to be divided into 

Quartermaster Corps units, Medical Corps units. Engineer units, Ordnance units, Signal units, 

and Aeronautic units. * * * The apportionment to the several departments, and the main subdivisions in these departments were as follows:

29. Most of the units included in the Service of the Rear project were new to our 

- 145-
service. The proposed strength and composition of these units were deduced by the A. E. F. 

Staff after studying the French and British systems as much as the limited time would permit. and. with our Field Service Regulations for a guide. visualizing the supply problems 

our forces would have to meet. 

30. Under date of October 7. 1917. the Commander-in-Chief submitted to the War Department a schedule showing priority of shipments of troops to France. This schedule added 

the following units to the Service of the Rear Project: 

SIGNAL 

Permanent Wire Lines 

(4 R R Telegraph Battalions) 

MILITARY POLICE 

1 Regt. Cavalry (dismounted) for guard 

duty 

ENGINEERS 

Standard Guage Railways (4 Bns. railway 

920 

1600 

operation. and 3 Bns. Maintenance of Way) 5600 

Total 8120 

31. At the time this schedule was submitted. the American Expeditionary Forces in 

France did not comprise Service of the Rear troops in adequate proportion to the combatant 

troops already here or expected soon. and this was causing some difficulties. The priority 

of shipments schedule was designed to correct this and to insure the building up of a wellbalanced force. 

B. Reorganization Under G. O. No. 31, 1918 

32. General Orders No. 31. A. E. F .• February 16. 1918. which reorganized General 

Headquarters. also reorganized the Line of Communications into the Service of the Rear 

(later corrected to Services of Supply), the Commanding General of which exercised in 

addition to his other duties all of the functions heretofore prescribed for the Commanding 

General. Line of Communications. 

33. The Services of Supply. as reorganized. consisted of the following services or 

departments: 

Quartermaster Corps: 

Medical Department: 

Corps of Engineers: 

Ordnance Department: 

Signal Corps: 

Air Service: 

General Purchasing Board: 

Gas Service: 

Service of Utilities; 

Provost Marshal Service. 

34. The main change in this organization over that under the Line of Communication 

was in the creation of the Service of Utilities under which were grouped: (a) The Transportation Department; (b) The Department of Construction and Forestry: (c) The Department 

of Light Railways and Roads: (d) The Department of Motor Transportation. 

- 146-
35. The Service of the Rear Project, as revised by G. O. No. 31, was then as follows: 

QUARfERMASTER CORPS 

Labor and General Q. M. Service 

Remount and Veterinarian 

Animal Transport 

Cemetery Service

36. At the time of the publication ofG. O. No. 31, A. E. F .. February 16, 1918, the 

S. O. S. troops were approximately 34% of the total troops in the A. E. F .. while the 

G. O. P. called for 25%. This was due to the fact that the S. O. S. was being built up to 

take care of the combat troops that were to come. 

37. As the A. E. F. increased in size and gained experience in the functioning of the 

various services and departments it was found necessary to organize into separate and 

distinct Corps, several services which had been previously subheads of other departments 

or corps. 

c. Chemical Warfare Service 

38. The first service which came to a head in this regard was the Gas Service. This 

service, as it had been organized by Section IV, G. O. No. 31, A. E. F., September 3, 1917, 

- 147-
was provided with a commissioned personnel to be obtained from other departments. The commissioned personnel on May 1. 1918. amounting to some 200 officers. held commissions in the 

Corps of Engineers. Sanitary Corps. Chemical Service Section. Medical Department. Ordnance 

Department. Cavalry. and Infantry. Neither the personnel nor the authority of the Gas 

Service was adequate for the important duties which the service was called upon to perform. 

39. As offensive and defensive gas warfare had become an important factor. it was 

recommended to the War Department that a Gas Corps be established in the National Army for 

the A. E. F. to consist of a commissioned and enlisted personnel entirely its own. This 

was approved by the War Department in cable 1598-R-1F. June 25. 1918. which changed the 

name to Chemical Warfare Service. Based on a force of one million men. this service was 

to conSist of: 

Officers Men 

Headquarters Depots and Staff 375 1532 

Gas Regiment 200 4790 

TOTAL 575 6322 

40. This included the Gas and Flame Regiment of the Engineer Corps which was to be 

transferred to the Chemical Warfare Service. 

41. The Chemical Warfare Service was created in the A. E. F. by G. O. No. 105. A. E. 

F .• June 28. 1918. This allowance of personnel was increased later by authority of War 

Department cable 1724-R-16. 1918. to a total strength of 916 officers and 7624 enlisted 

men. This included 325 officers and 1200 enlisted men for supply. technical and field 

work of the Second Army which were not to be called into service until the units to which 

they were to be assigned were organized. War Department cable 2027-R-6. October 7. 1918. 

again increased the strength of this service to a total of 1290 officers and 17.601 enlisted men. It was stated by this cable that additional personnel was expected to be 

authorized soon but the cessation of hostilities stopped any further expansion of this 

corps. 

D. Military Police Corps 

42. Soon after the organization of a Chemical Warfare Service was authorized. the 

Military Police Corps was created as a separate and distinct corps. July 8. 1918. The 

experience of the A. E. F. up to May. 1918. indicated the necessity for establishing a 

military police service which at this time was not provided for in Tables of Organization. 

The Tables of Organization for the Divisional Military Police Companies were the only definite authority on this subject. The Line of Communications. later the Services of Supply. 

required a large number of military police and as there was no definite authority on the 

organization of the Military Police Service much difficulty was encountered. The detailing 

of officers and enlisted men in the Military Police Service proved unsatisfactory in many 

ways. 

43. As a result. a Board of Officers was appointed to consider this subject. and recommended the creation of Military Police Corps with officers and enlisted men of its own. 

This was recommended to the War Department and approved by cables 1434-5-11. July 9. 1918. 

1694-5-1. September 16. 1918. and 2027-R-7. October 7. 1918. 

44. G. O. No. 111. July 8. 1918. created the Military Police Corps in the A. E. F. 

It was to consist of military police companies of 125 enlisted men and 3 officers. which 

in addition to those authorized in divisions. corps. and armies. were to be assigned to 

- 148-
various sections of the S. O. S. and other places as might be necessary. There was authorized an additional list of 102 officers. The total strength of the corps was limited 

to 7/10 of one per cent of the total strength of the A. E. F. 

45. This was changed. (cables 1775-S-A. October 10. 1918 and 2108-R-7. October 26. 

1918) authorizing a Provost Marshal General's Department to consist of 47 officers. 10 

field clerks and 31 enlisted men. The Military Police Corps was authorized. under provisions of G. O. No. 180. A. E. F .. October 15. 1918. to consist of companies of 5 officers 

and 200 enlisted men instead of 5 officers and 125 enlisted men. The distrtbution of these 

companies was not changed but the total Military Police Corps was authorized to be not more 

than 1% of the total A. E. F. 

E. Motor Transport Corps 

46. Following closely after the organization of the Military Police Corps come the 

Motor Transport Corps (July 11. 1918). The Motor Transport Service had been created by 

G. O. No. 70. A. E. F .. December 8. 1917. as a part of the Q. M. C .• directly under the 

supervision of the Chief Quartermaster. It took over the supply of gasoline and lubricants and purchases of standard types of motor vehicles. parts and supplies in Europe. with 

the exception of Air Service and special Ordnance vehicles. Under the provisions of G. O. 

No. 31. A. E. F .. February 16. 1918. this service was made a part of the Service of Utilities and though still consisting of Q. M. personnel and Q. M. units it came directly under 

the Chief of Utilities. 

47. The great increase over the General Organization Proj ect in motor vehicles in the 

A. E. F. required a corresponding increase in the personnel for their operation and repair. especially in the S. O. S. The Motor Transport Service was charged with the technical supervision. the procurement. maintenance. repair and replacement of all motor vehicles 

without administrative personnel being provided. In order that this service might be 

coordinated it was proposed to organize a Motor Transport Corps charged with the operation 

of motor transportation and the repair of all motor transportation throughout the A. E. F. 

with the authOrity and power to conduct a proper motor transport service. It was. therefore. requested of the War Department that the President direct that there be established 

in the A. E. F. a Motor Transport Corps. This was approved by War Department cable 

1368-S-1Q. June 24. 1918. for the following: 

Staffs and Overhead 

Officers 486 

Enlisted Men 1,812

48. G. O. No. 114. A. E. F .• July 11. 1918. created the Motor Transport Corps as a 

separate and distinct corps. at the same time abolishing the Service of Utilities and 

putting the Motor Transport Corps directly under the C. G .. S. O. S. 

F. Service of Utilities Abolished 

49. The next important change in the Organization of the S. o. S .• which occurred 

simultaneously with the creation of the Motor Transport Corps. was the abolition of the 

- 149-
SeIVice of Utilities. The SeIVice of Utilities as previously given consisted of the four 

subheads: 

(a) Transportation Department (Engrs.); 

(b) Department of Construction and Forestry (Engrs.); 

(c) Department of Light Railways and Roads (Engrs.); 

(d) Department of Motor Transportation (Q. M. C. ). 

50. With the publication ofG. O. No. 114 and the abolition of the SeIVice of Utilities, the Transportation Department became a separate department directly under the Commanding General, S. O. S.; the Department of Construction and Forestry and the Department 

of Light Railways and Roads were put back under the Chief Engineer Officer as a subhead of 

his Department and the Motor Transport SeIVice became a distinct and separate seIVice 

under the name of the Motor Transport Corps. 

51. The organization in general of the S. O. S. then became as follows: 

Quartermaster Corps 

Medical Department 

Corps of Engineers - - - - -

Ordnance Department 

Air Service 

Signal Corps 

(Div. of Const. and Forestry 

(Div. of Light Ry. and Roads 

(Div. of Mil. Eng. and Eng. Sup. 

General Purchasing Board 

Chemical Warfare Service 

Transportation Department (Eng.) 

Motor Transport 

Provost Marshal General's Department 

G. Army Service Corps 

52. Mter the publication ofG. O. No. 114 July 11, 1918, and the creation of the 

M. T. C., there was no change in the S. O. S. until August 22, 1918. At this time the Army 

Service Corps was created. In order to relieve more combatant troops from service behind 

the lines and more effectively carty out the complex seIVices united in the S. O. S., on 

May 25, 1918, the Commander-in-Chiefrecommended to the War Department (cable P-1189) that 

a new service of enlisted men only be created, by executive order, to be known as the Army 

SeIVice Corps, the officers to be officers of the National Army of no branch or arm. In 

this corps it was originally intended to include all enlisted men of the Provost Marshal's 

Department, Post Office, War Risk Bureau, and Labor Organizations. 

53. On June 25, 1918 (cable 1598-R-1D) the War Department suggested that the Army 

Service Corps be created to include all labor organizations, with both officers and enlisted 

men of its own. The Commander-in-Chief concurred with the above and recommended that stevedore regiments previously intended to be transferred to the Transportation Corps (the formation of which was then being conSidered), Graves Registration Service, Administrative Companies, and Fire Truck and Hose Companies, be included in the organization (cable 1426-S-1D, 

July 23, 1918). The Commander-in-Chief, therefore, recommended in cable 1426-S-1F, July 

23, 1918, that in order to organize certain miscellaneous units, the organization of which 

was to be at the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief, that an Army Service Corps be created 

in the A. E. F. to consist of 4,000 officers and 100,000 men. 

54. This was approved (cable 1762-R-9, July 23, 1918) reducing the number of officers, 

however, to 1500. On the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chiefthis was increased to 

the orginal figure of 4,000 officers (cable 2132-R-l), who were to be in addition to the 

officers transferred with units into the Army Service Corps. 

55. The Army Service Corps was announced in G. O. No. 38, S. o. S., August 22, 1918. 

- 150-
H. Transportation Corps 

56. Following the creation of the Army Service Corps came the Transportation Corps. 

57. The Transportation Department was created by G. O. No. 37. A E. F .. September 

14. 1917. as one of the technical services of the A E. F. It was charged with the operation. maintenance and construction of all railways and canals under American control and 

with the construction of shops and other buildings for railway purposes. Those duties 

were extended by G. O. No. 78. A E. F .. 1917. by charging the Transportation Department 

with the supervision of the Army Transport Service in Europe. 

58. In cable 171-S-12. September 21. 1917. it was recommended to the War Department 

that rail transportation should be organized into a separate department. its officers to be 

of the National Army. This was approved in cable 332-R-18. October 25. 1917. and a number 

of officers were commissioned in the Railway Transportation Corps. The number was totally 

insuffiCient however. and it was necessaty to detail other officers from other staff corps 

and from the line. Thus far the Corps had been regarded as an adjunct or branch of the 

Engineer Corps. Its officers in the A E. F. were used in the Transportation Department. 

59. In view of the importance of the Transportation Service in France. it was deCided by the Commander-in-Chief that the Transportation Department should be totally independent of all other staff corps. and answerable for the proper performance of its duties 

only to the highest militaty authority. and that it must have a personnel of its own. 

60. On June 3. 1918. it was requested by cable that the President direct that there 

be established in the A E. F. a Transportation Corps. This was approved by cable 

1598-R-11. June 25. 1918. to consist of the following: 

24 Stevedore Battalions. 384 officers and 27.696 men. 

4 Operating Regiments. 352 officers and 12.296 men; 

2 Maintenance of Way Regiments. 176 officers and 6.148 men: 

1 Maintenance of EqUipment Regiments. 88 officers and 3.074 men: 

4 Car and Shop Regiments. 352 officers and 12.296 men: 

Hdqrs. and Hdqrs. Battalion. 580 officers and 1.524 men: 

Total 1932 officers and 63,034 men. 

61. The reorganization of the Transportation Service (Engineer) into the Transportation Corps A E. F .. was accomplished by transferring into the Transportation Corps the 

following Engineer units: 

Standard Gauge Shop Regiments: 

Standard Gauge Ry. Operating Battalions: 

Standard Gauge Ry. Transportation Battalions: 

Crane Operating Companies: 

Standard Gauge Maintenance of Way Battalions: 

Standard Gauge Maintenance of Equipment Bns. 

Standard Gauge Trades and Storekeepers Bns. 

Engineer Depot Detachment: 

Inland Waterways Companies: 

Barge Repair Companies. 

62. G. O. No. 42. S. O. S .. September 1918, established the Transportation Corps 

transferring to it the above engineer units. 

63. This organization was based on a force of a million men. In order to cover 

the estimated requirements to July 1. 1919. it was requested that the Transportation Corps 

be increased. This was approved in cable 2011-R-S. October 3. 1918. which authOrized a 

strength of 6.000 officers and 200.000 enlisted men, organized into battalions. companies 

or other units. in accordance with existing Tables of Organization, at the discretion of 

- 151 -
the Commander-in-Chief. This was the authority for the reorganization of the Transportation Corps as accomplished by G. O. No. 52, S. O. S., November 12, 1918. This order reorganized the corps with transportation companies (railway) and transportation companies 

(stevedore), and a transportation corps at large, doing away with the regimental and 

battalion organizations. 

64. In accordance with authority contained in War Department cable A-1948, September 

16, 1918, stevedore battalions Q. M. C. were transferred to the Transportation Corps. 

I. Organization of S. o. S. Units Transferred to Headquarters S. O. S. 

65. It will be noticed that the orders announcing the organization of the Army Service 

Corps and the Transportation Corps were announced by General Orders, headquarters S. O. S. 

This was in compliance with the G. O. No. 130, A. E. F., August 6, 1918, which provided that 

large questions of policy, including those concerning new types and new scales of equipment, 

except of Services of Supply Troops, remain in the hands of the General Staff of the Commanderin-Chief and subject to his consideration and approval. Under this general provision matters 

pertaining to the organization and equipment of S. O. S. troops were turned over to the S. O. S. 

Thereafter orders establishing new services were issued from Headquarters S. O. S. 

J. Completion of General Organization Project 

66. The General Organization Project which called for an army of 30 divisions may be 

conSidered to have been realized when divisional troops amounting in strength to 30 divisions had arrived in France, although the authorized corps and army troops had not yet 

arrived. It is impracticable to take the date when 30 complete divisions had arrived, as 

portions of several additional divisions were then in France. 

67. In the last week of August 1918, the number of divisional troops had reached the 

number called for in the G. O. P. for an army of 30 divisions. By this time the Service 

of the Rear Project had gone through many changes, as outlined above; new services had 

been created; parts of the original services had been absorbed in the new ones; the 

strength of various units had been increased; additions had been made to the original project. The Service of the Rear Project was at that time as follows:

It also includes the reorganization of the ForestIy Service, which was increased from 

a total strength, as given in the Project, of 19,350 to 47,018. This was authorized by 

cable S-162-1, September 21, 1918. 

68. Submitted herewith as appendices J. to U. are copies of various tables of organization of S. O. S. units grouped according to departments. The tables marked proposed have 

been prepared as the result of experience and represent what is conSidered suitable organization for the proper functioning of such activities. However, the necessity for the units 

has now passed and these tables are submitted as a basis for future studies that may be 

conducted in connection with organization plans.

WAR DEPARTMENT 

DOCUMENT NO. 571 

OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL 

1917 

War Department 

Washington, May 3, 1917 

The following Table of Organization, approved by the Secretary of War, include the typical Infantry and Cavalry divisions authorized under the national defense act approved June 3, 

1916, with the detailed tables of the component units. Departures from the prescribed organization will be authorized by the 

War Department only. 

The bases on which the tables have been prepared are, as 

regards supply, the same as those prescribed in Tables of Organization, 1914. Rifle ammunition with troops and combat 

trains has been fixed at 220 rounds per rifle for all rifles in 

the division, with an equal amount in the divisional ammunition 

train. The machine-gun ammunition with troops is duplicated in 

the ammunition train. 

The bases for the artillery-ammunition supply are 464 

rounds per 3-inch gun and 432 rounds per 3.8-inch howitzer with 

the divisional artillery. 

Alternative animal and motor drawn transport is provided 

for the divisional trains, and these will be organized according to the special circumstances in each case. 

The allotment of personnel and transport from Headquarters 

and Supply companies for detached organizations is shown in 

italics in the corresponding columns, and these allotments will 

always be made when an organization is detached. 

The letter h placed at the upper right hand of any number 

in the tables indicates "mounted on a horse"; if the letter is 

preceded by a numeral, the latter indicates the number of men of 

that grade who are so mounted. In like manner, the letter m indicates "mounted on a mule." 

These tables will be used as a basis for the eqUipment manuals of the several arms, and the latter will be made to conform 

thereto.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 

Documentsfrom American Sources 

When combat operations were ended by the signing of the Armistice, orders 

were issued for the collection of records of the American Expeditionary Forces and 

for their shipment to the United States. When received, they were filed in The Office 

of The Adjutant General in Washington, D.C. lTItlmately, they were all transferred for 

permanent custody to the National Archives Building in Washington, D. C. As 

received, these records filled apprOximately 7,000 standard four-drawer filing 

cabinets. 

When the records were packed in France for shipment, some effort had been 

made to separate administrative from operational documents. This process was by 

no means complete so that conSiderable work remained to be done as the records 

were unpacked. The operational records were organized under a separate system of 

numbering to avoid confUSion with Adjutant General file markings for purely administrative papers. Administrative records were later combed, and many organizational 

records of historical importance were transferred to the newly-established file. When 

this work had progressed to a workable point, an index to the historical file was 

prepared. This index extended in two directions--to units and to topiCS. Subsequently a card catalogue of some 120,000 documents was prepared. This is now 

microfilmed and filed with the records. Thousands of papers were rej ected by the 

cataloguers as being of no historical value. The cataloguing process which was also 

a preliminary screening process vastly simplified the work of the compilers who were 

responsible for the selection of records appearing in this series. 

Documentsfrom Foreign Sources 

Through arrangements with the foreign governments concerned which gave 

access to their archives, American officers were stationed in London (1922 to 1924), 

Paris (1920 to 1937), and Berlin (1922 to 1938) to secure copies of documents 

needed to supplement American records. These documents, approximately 96,000 

German; 66,000 French; 12,000 British; and 8,000 Italian, now in the files of World 

War I Group, Historical Division, are to be deposited in the National Archives. Those 

selected for inclusion in this series are published in English.
