American Expeditionary Force

World War I was the first time in American history that the United States sent soldiers abroad to defend foreign soil. On April 6, 1917, when the United States declared war against Germany, the nation had a standing army of 127,500 officers and soldiers. By the end of the war, four million men had served in the United States Army, with an additional 800,000 in other military service branches.

Once war was declared, the army attempted to mobilize the troops very quickly. The fatigued British and French troops, who had been fighting since August 1914, sorely needed the relief offered by the American forces. In May 1917, General John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing was designated the supreme commander of the American army in France, and the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) were created. Pershing and his staff soon realized how ill-prepared the United States was to transport large numbers of soldiers and necessary equipment to the front, where supplies, rations, equipment, and trained soldiers were all in short supply. Since even the transport ships needed to bring American troops to Europe were scarce, the army pressed into service cruise ships, seized German ships, and borrowed Allied ships to transport American soldiers from New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. The mobilization effort taxed the limits of the American military and required new organizational strategies and command structures to transport great numbers of troops and supplies quickly and efficiently.

American Expeditionary Force 'AEF' - Where we came from.

The American Expeditionary Force also know as the 'AEF' was created on March 6th, 2016 and originally lead by Pershing and formally was taken over by Anthony later on since Pershing was not active enough. The AEF won NANWL Season 7 League 2 and it was a giant boost for the regiment but not long after their victorious win they disbanded due to bore of the game. Now we are back, we mainly do competitive events but we're always open to public events aswell. The AEF is always improving and we always try to reach to the best to our abilities of combat either to fun events or competitive overall we put in our fullest effort in becoming and doing our best.
