During World War I, the AEF (or, American Expeditionary Force) was commanded by General John J. Pershing. A career officer in the American Army with a reputation for bravery and leadership ability, Pershing was successful in forging the AEF into a highly organized, well-supplied, and generally effective fighting force on the war's Western Front.
The American Expeditionary Forces were active between 1917 and 1919. In Word War I they fought in France alongside British and French forces during the last year of the war.
From start to finish the commander of the AEF was General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing. When the AEF was sufficiently large enough to form a field army Pershing also commanded the First US Army. When there were enough divisions to form the Second United States Army, Pershing moved up to command the American Army Group, Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett took over First Army, and Lieutenant General Robert Bullard commanded Second Army. The Third US Army was formed four days before the Armistice, and saw no action. It was initially commanded by Major General Joseph Dickman.
