No,but the opposite occurred.

One of the few active units organized on foreign soil, the 2nd Infantry Division was born on October 26, 1917, at Bourmont France and received extensive training from French Army veterans. At the time of its activation, the Indianhead Division was composed of one brigade of U.S. Army Infantry, one brigade of U.S. Marines, an artillery brigade, and various supporting units. During "The Great War", the division was commanded twice by Marine Corps generals: Brigadier General C.A. Doyen and Major General John A. Lejeune. This was the only time in U.S. military history that Marine Corps officers commanded an Army Division. The 2nd Infantry Division drew its first blood in the nightmare landscape of Belleau Wood and contributed to shattering the four-year-old stalemate on the battlefield during the Chateau-Thierry campaign that followed.

The Division won hard fought victories at Soissons and Mont Blanc, for which it was awarded the French Fourragere. Finally the Indianhead Division participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, which spelled the end of any German hope for victory"
