American Expeditionary Force
When Germany first tried to invade France they sent troops to the German-France border and the France- Belgium border to fight the incoming of the SS
During World War I, the American Expeditionary Force led by General Pershing arrived slowly in Europe during the course of 1917 into 1918. Though poorly trained and inexperienced at first, the eventual contribution of the "AEF" to the Allied war effort not only prevented any surrender of Paris to the Germans; it also contributed directly to the knock-out blows delivered by Allied troops to the war-weary German troops in 1918.

The first shots in the Mexican American War were fired by troops under the command of General Pedro de Ampudia.
France is sometimes nicknamed the hexagon because of the general shape of the country. In their geography lessons, French children are taught to first draw an hexagon to help them draw France's map.
The first significant troop deployment by the U.S. Army to France in WW1 was the American Expeditionary Forces, lead by General John Pershing, which began to arrive in early 1918 and first saw combat in the late spring of 1918.

General John J. Pershing
The Commander of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), which was the US Army sent to fight in France, which eventually numbered two million men, was General John J. Pershing. But the overall Commander of the American Army is the Chief of Staff, and several officers held that position: William G. Wotherspoon was Chief of Staff when war broke out in Europe, until November 1914; Hugh L. Scott took over November 17, 1914 and held the job until September 22, 1917, and so was Chief of Staff for the first few months of US involvement in the war; Tasker H. Bliss took over September 23, 1917 and held the office until May 19, 1918; and Peyton C. March took over May 20, 1918, held the job through the end of the war, and on until June 30, 1921. All these officers theoretically "commanded" Pershing and the Americans in France. Pershing followed March as Chief of Staff, taking over July 1, 1921.
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe in World War 2, holding the rank of Five Star General in the US Army. He subsequently became the first US President to appear on color TV.
Troops including the 1st and 2nd Us Divisions were fed into Europe a weebit at a time. US General J. J. "Blackjack" Pershing was in charge and heplaced his troops into a training status while he argued the "replacement"troops" vs "All American Force" with the politicians. US military observersand planners were probably in Europe before the war began.
Pershings. no first name sorry.
