Our France War Effort Beyond Fighting
The United States in World War I showed vast contributions beyond combat in France. By Nov 11, 1918 US forces in France included about two million personnel, with 40,000 combat troops in the Argonne. American rail and port operations grew belatedly, building 500 miles of standard gauge lines and repairing 115 miles of German lines. Americans operated 225 miles of French railways and deployed over 300 motor vehicles. New Bordeaux berths and Monterr docks extended port capacity, and warehouses covered nearly 23 million square feet, underscoring the broad scope of logistics that would blunt any German seizure of Channel ports.
