  • Pershing.
  • Pershing remained in command for the entire war.
  • In addition, Pershing insisted that the American force would not be used merely to fill gaps in the French and British armies, and he resisted European efforts to have U.S. troops deployed as individual replacements in decimated Allied units.
  • As an exception, Pershing did allow African-American combat regiments to be used in French divisions.

• Commander-in-Chief

  • On the other hand, Woodrow Wilson paid very little attention to operational military details of World War I and had very little contact with General John J.
  • Pershing, who commanded the armies in the field.
  • President Abraham Lincoln, as commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, with Allan Pinkerton and Major General John A.

• The Call to Arms

  • In May 1917, President Wilson appointed Major General John J.
  • Pershing as the U.S. armed forces commander.
  • Yet Pershing required that his soldiers were fully trained before going to Europe, resulting in few arriving before 1918.
  • Despite the mixed feelings of Allied leaders who distrusted an army lacking experience in large-scale warfare, Pershing insisted that American forces would not be used merely to fill gaps in the French and British armies or act as replacements in decimated Allied units.

• The War in France

  • The American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) were the United States troops, often called “Doughboys”, sent to fight in France alongside the British and French armies against Germany under the command of Major General John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing.

• The energy method

  • To derive the equations of motion, all we have to do is set $m_j \ddot{x}_j = - \frac{\partial U}{\partial x_j}$ .
  • $i = j$ , in which case the derivative is $k_j (x_j - x_{j-1})$ .
  • $i-1 = j$ , in which case $i = j+1$ and the derivative is $-k_{j+1} (x_{j+1} - x_j)$ .
  • $\displaystyle{ \label{eq:lattice} m_ j \ddot{x}_j = - \frac{\partial U}{\partial x_j} = k_{j+1} (x_{j+1} - x_j) - k_j (x_j - x_{j-1}) . }$
  • $\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{\omega_0 ^2} \ddot{x _ j} = x_{j+1} - 2 x_j + x_{j-1}.
