This 2007 book provides the most comprehensive examination of
American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) combat doctrine and methods
ever published. It shows how AEF combat units actually fought on
the Western Front in World War I. It describes how four AEF
divisions (the 1st, 2nd, 26th, and 77th) planned and conducted
their battles and how they adapted their doctrine, tactics, and
other operational methods during the war. General John Pershing and
other AEF leaders promulgated an inadequate prewar doctrine, with
only minor modification, as the official doctrine of the AEF. Many
early American attacks suffered from these unrealistic ideas that
retained too much faith in the infantry rifleman on the modern
battlefield. However, many AEF divisions adjusted their doctrine
and operational methods as they fought, preparing more
comprehensive attack plans, employing flexible infantry formations,
and maximizing firepower to seize limited objectives.
