• Saint-Mihiel Offensive: A Pivotal American Operation in World War I The American Expeditionary Forces under commander in chief General John J. Pershing launched its first major independent offensive in Europe during World War I. The U.S.-led attack targeted the strategically critical Saint-Mihiel salient, a triangular area of land between Verdun and Nancy that had been occupied by German forces since 1914.

Despite potential challenges, resistance was relatively light, and by September 16, the Americans had successfully liberated this area of France from German occupation.
