Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World War Zone of the Interior: Organization and Activities of the War Department Volume 3, Part 1
Abstract
The concise and unique data in the Order of Battle is central to any serious examination of the Army's involvement in World War I. The Centers predecessors-the Army War College's Historical Section, and the Special Staffs Historical Division-originally published this work in three volumes. The first two concentrated on the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Volume 1 covers the AEF's general headquarters; the American Services of Supply; armies; army corps; and separate forces, including the three French army corps under American command in 1918 as well as American units in North Russia and Siberia. Volume 2 provides outline histories of the AEF's divisions. The essays in these two volumes combine information about the command and composition of units with tables that offer the reader a broad survey of operations in both major and minor theaters and the rear areas. Volume 3, consisting of five chapters organized in two parts, presents an array of useful information on the zone of the interior. Part 1 includes the organization and activities of the War Department, the territorial departments, the divisions that did not deploy overseas, and data about posts, camps, and stations. Part 2 consists of a directory of troops, covering all organizations that made up the Army between 1917 and 1919. Each volume begins with a guide to the use of the material.
