The American Expeditionary Force (AEF) was created in the summer of 1917, and by the spring of
In 1918 more than a million American soldiers were already stationed in France. The expeditionary
forces consisted of infantry divisions and marines. Commanded by General John Joseph Pershing,
American soldiers fought alongside units from the French, British, Canadian, New Zealand and
Australian armies. Pershing wanted the AEF to be able to act independently, without the help of the
Allies, and eventually, when the training and combat experience of American soldiers reached the
required level, it became possible. US losses in this war were more than 320,000 killed and wounded
American soldiers. Nevertheless, by the time the war ended in November 1918, the U.S. Expeditionary
Forces were a fairly modern and battle-hardened army with a high level of motorization, and many
considered it one of the best armies in the world.
