U.S. Militia WWI

The United States entered the First World War in 1917 and rapidly expanded its armed forces through volunteers, conscription, and the mobilization of the National Guard. Guard units developed from state military traditions but entered federal service as organized formations. American troops fought in Europe after an immense process of training and transport. National Guard divisions retained state and regional identities even after federal mobilization. Their incorporation into the expeditionary force was part of the broader task of transforming a small peacetime establishment into a mass overseas army. Federal mobilization combined these units with the Regular Army and newly raised wartime formations under the American Expeditionary Forces.
