In short, Pershing believed that the forces of the United States would fight much better in independent units. It was his belief that it was very dangerous to mix very disciplined troops with those who lacked proper training.

Who was the commander of allied forces in ww1?

The British and French tried to "coordinate" operations for the first couple of years. Finally realizing this was unsatisfactory they agreed that Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch of the French Army would be their overall commander. When America entered the war, it did not fight as an "ally" of anyone, but rather as an "associated power" of the Allies. This meant that the commander of the American Expeditionary Force was not bound by any order of Foch. The Americans did cooperate and coordinate their operations with the others, but Pershing's independence allowed him to resist the endless calls for American soldiers to be placed in French and British units, under French and British commanders, and to fight his army as an American Army. The French demands for fresh American troops to serve in their units continued almost until the last day, and there were several stormy scenes between Foch and Pershing when Pershing unobligingly refused to send the French Army Americans for replacements.
