The Headquarters element and a small staff of the 34th Infantry Division under the command of Major General Russell P. Hartle arrived in England on 15 January 1942. Major elements of the Division left Fort Dix, New Jersey the same day and arrived at their post at Ulster, Northern Ireland on 26 January 1942 to begin their training.

Answer

Early in 1942.

The President of the US declared war on Germany and Japan on 8 December 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The US Military began preparing for war. Navy and Air Force began moving material to support their allies.

The first infantry sent to Europe were the 1st Infantry Division and the 34th Infantry Division. They arrived in England in 1941.

The first American troops to enter combat was when the Americans landed on North Africa in Nov1942.

I watched the First Americans Arriving in London in May June 1942

Soon after Pearl Harbor, American troops were sent to England for further training and preparation. It wasn't until 8 Nov. 1942, did American troops land on North Africa and moved Eastward to fight the Germans. The first time Americans landed in Europe was the invasion of Sicily(an island that is part of Italy, which is a part of Europe) in July 1943.
