American Expeditionary Forces AEF all of the military personnel (the armies, navies, and air forces), equipment and weaponry, medical staff, support and maintenance supplies, and so on sent to the Western front by President
Woodrow Wilson after his declaration of war in April 1917, under the command of Gen.
John J. Pershing. Pershing arrived in Paris in June 1917 to take up his command, two months after the United States had entered
World War I. Although more than two million U.S. troops reached Europe, many arrived too late to see combat. Nevertheless, the AEF had 264,000 casualties, including 50,554 killed in battle and 25,000 by disease.
