From the Foreword: This publication, "Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World War", is an official War Department document prepared by the Historical Section, Army War College, for the purpose of making available an accurate digest of the principal facts concerning the participation of the larger organizations of the land forces of the United States Army in the World War. It presents command rosters of such organizations, tables depicting their daily order of battle, their composition at important periods, and under "Record of Events" a chronological re'sum6 of the principal events regarding the organization and its operations. The work is planned as consisting of three volumes. Two volumes are devoted to the American Expeditionary Forces, one concerning itself with organizations larger than a division, the other with divisions. A third volume is contemplated, dealing with organizations in the United States and containing appendices pertinent to the entire series. The work is based upon original sources, most of which are official documents of the War Department. They include war diaries, operation reports, journals of operations, reports on battle participation; historical reports of brigades, divisions, corps, and armies; field orders, operation orders, returns, rosters, cablegrams, telegrams, and numerous other papers, the majority of which had their genesis in the organizations described. Most of these documents are on file in the World War Division of The Adjutant General's Office or in the Historical Section, Army War College. A source book, for each unit described, has been prepared indicating the authority for statements made in the Order of Battle and is preserved in the Historical Section for reference. Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy, but occasionally contradictory evidence and incompleteness of records made this task difficult. Before publishing these volumes, drafts of their contents were forwarded to officers who participated in the operations, whose first-hand knowledge made their cooperation valuable, and their criticisms were examined and included in this work where justified. Controversial and personal factors have been purposely omitted. Incorporated in this work are outline histories of all divisions organized during the war, the army corps, armies, services of supply, and general headquarters, and the three French army corps which . . . 412 pages.
