Question 3

What special problems were posed by the incorporation of National Guard units in the American Expeditionary Force? How were these resolved?

Accepted Answer

The incorporation of National Guard units in the American Expeditionary Force posed several special problems. One major issue was the varying levels of training and equipment among the different National Guard units. Some units were well-trained and well-equipped, while others were not up to the same standard. This created challenges in terms of cohesion and effectiveness on the battlefield.

Another problem was the differing state loyalties and allegiances within the National Guard units. Some units were more loyal to their state governors than to the federal government, which could potentially create issues of insubordination or conflicting orders.

To resolve these problems, the U.S. Army implemented a standardized training program to bring all National Guard units up to the same level of readiness. Additionally, efforts were made to instill a sense of national unity and loyalty to the federal government among the National Guard troops. This was achieved through propaganda, leadership training, and emphasizing the importance of the overall war effort.

Overall, the incorporation of National Guard units in the American Expeditionary Force required careful coordination and effort to ensure that all units were able to work together effectively and support the larger war effort.
