In September 1918 the US sent a small contingent of about 5,000 troops to Archangel and about 8,000 to Vladivostok. This was part of an allied (British, French and US) involvement in the Russian revolution. The purpose was to secure allied supplies, to rescue the Czech Legion and to bring Russia back into World War I against Germany, by assisting in the defeat of the Bolsheviks.
