Allied Expeditionary Force AEF official designation of the Allied forces assembled in England to carry out the mission of invading the European continent and undertaking operations to defeat Germany and her allies. Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF), commanded by U.S. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, was created on February 15, 1944, and (having successfully completed its mission) was inactivated on July 16, 1945. The World War II-era Allied Expeditionary Force should not be confused with the American Expeditionary Forces led by Gen. John J. Pershing in World War I.
