U.S. Soldier WWI

American infantry reached the European war in increasing numbers after the United States entered the conflict in April 1917. The American Expeditionary Forces trained with Allied assistance but sought to operate as an American army. Soldiers fought in actions including the Marne campaigns, Saint-Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne. Their equipment and organization reflected both American development and the urgent demands of coalition warfare on an industrial battlefield. American units combined rifles and automatic weapons with artillery, engineers, and logistical support. The scale of the 1918 offensives required learning to coordinate these elements under real combat conditions. American infantry operated within divisions supported by French and British equipment and training.
