Summary:

This book, authored by Maj Vaughn D. Strong Jr., examines the development of the American Army corps structure during World War I. The primary focus is on how General John J. Pershing's creation of the corps formation contributed significantly to the success of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in campaigns such as Saint Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. The work provides an analysis of the strategic and operational challenges faced by the United States upon entering the war in 1917, the mobilization efforts, and the evolution of military tactics and command structures. It also reviews the effectiveness of these structures in combat situations. The book is intended for military historians, scholars, and readers interested in World War I military strategies and the role of the United States in the conflict. Generated by AI.
