Pershing on Allied Command and Early US War Efforts
General Pershing recounts the April 3 to April 16 discussions at Beauvais and Doullens with Clemenceau Lloyd George and Foch on allied command. He notes the push for a supreme commander, the inclusion of the American army, and plans for American divisions to join British and French efforts while building an independent force. The chapter covers Baker’s role, training gaps, and early unit deployments to Chaumont en Vexin as US forces prepare for active combat.
