Operations of the Ninth Infantry, Second Division, in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive

This study presents the operations of the 9th Infantry in October and November of 1918. Lessons learned include the value of surprise and cooperation, the necessity of security, the degree of training involved for particular operations (especially for night operations/darkness), moral as a determining factor to success in battle, and the care needed in designating positions. There are two maps; one shows the operations of the 9th Infantry in October, and the second shows the dates in November.
