The North Russian Expeditory Force or the North Russia Campaign was a plan by the British and American to send troops to northern Russia to prevent the Germans from using the Russian ports for shipping supplies. Due to the Revolution, Russia dropped out of the War. The USA and UK was concerned that Germany would use the Russian ports. The Americans sent the 339th Infantry Regiment, the 310th Engineer Battalion and 310th Medical Battalion and other support units from the 85th Infantry Division to Russia. They were placed under the command of the British and were armed with Russian rifles. Soon after they arrived in November or so, the Germans had surrendered. It was decided to keep the NREF there to give aid to the White Bolsheviks. They participated in several battles. They remained there until Summer of 1919. Another force of British was sent to far eastern Russia for the same reasons. On the return home, the American painted their helmets white with a blue square with a white polar bear and adopted the name "The Polar Bear Regiment". The 339th Infantry Regiment and the 310 Engineer and 310 Medical Battalions used the Polar Bear on their respective DUI pins. The Polar Bear Association is an organziation of Veterans of the 339th Infantry Regiment. The Polar Bears will be holding probably their last reunion on 7-11th Sept, 2008 at Gettysburg, PA.

The purpose of the Gallipoli Campaign was to capture the Dardanelles Straits that were held by the Ottoman Empire. The straits would allow the Allies access to the Black Sea and thus they could get to Russia using a route other than the German-patrolled North and Baltic Seas.
