История

Создание и Первая мировая война

Первая армия была создана 10 августа 1918 года как полевая армия, когда на Западный фронт в последние месяцы Первой мировой войны прибыло достаточное количество американских военнослужащих . Большое количество войск, приписанных к Американским экспедиционным войскам (АЭФ), потребовало активизации подчиненных командований. Чтобы удовлетворить эту потребность, Первая армия была первой из трех полевых армий, созданных в рамках AEF. Первым командующим был генерал Джон Дж. Першинг , который также занимал пост главнокомандующего (главнокомандующего) АЭФ. Штаб планировал и руководил первым крупным американским наступлением - наступлением на Сен-Миэль (12–16 сентября 1918 г.). Позже он принял участие в крупнейшем и смертоносном сражении в истории армии США — наступлении Маас-Аргонн . В его рядах на протяжении всей Первой мировой войны служили многие деятели, которые позже сыграли важную роль во Второй мировой войне . Первая армия, которой теперь командует генерал-лейтенант Хантер Лиггетт , была дезактивирована 20 апреля 1919 года, через пять месяцев после перемирия с Германией , положившего конец боевым действиям.

Межвоенные годы

В рамках реализации поправки 1920 года к Закону о национальной обороне 1916 года начальник штаба армии генерал Дуглас Макартур распорядился создать шесть полевых армий, каждая из которых командовала тремя корпусами географически расположенными . «Район первой армии» (районы первого, второго и третьего корпусов) включал в себя первую и четвертую армии, «район второй армии» (районы четвертого, пятого и шестого корпусов) включал в себя вторую и пятую армии, а «район третьей армии» (районы четвертого, пятого и шестого корпусов) включал в себя вторую и пятую армии. Армейский район» (районы седьмого, восьмого и девятого корпусов) содержал третью и шестую армии. Между 1921 и 1932 годами шесть полевых армий были сформированы в организованном резерве, а не в регулярной армии, поскольку военное министерство не видело необходимости в действующих штабах полевой армии в мирное время. Штаб и штабная рота Первой армии первоначально были сформированы в организованном резерве 15 октября 1921 года и закреплены за районом Второго корпуса. Штаб-квартира была открыта 28 августа 1924 года в Нью-Йорке. , Нью-Йорк . В августе 1927 года военное министерство осознало, что на случай возникновения каких-либо непредвиденных обстоятельств ему понадобится как минимум одна действующая полевая армия под командованием трех корпусов, поэтому 15 августа 1927 года Первая армия была выведена из организованного резерва и демобилизована.

Новая полевая армия, получившая название штаба и штабной роты Седьмой армии, была сформирована в составе регулярной армии 15 августа 1927 года и передана в район Второго корпуса вместо Первой армии. 13 октября 1927 года он был переименован в штаб и штабную роту Первой армии. Штаб Первой армии был активирован 8 сентября 1932 года на Губернаторском острове в Нью-Йорке и взял на себя контроль над районами Первого, Второго и Третьего корпусов. Штаб-квартира первого корпуса располагалась в Бостоне , штат Массачусетс , штаб-квартира второго корпуса располагалась в Форт-Джее на Гавернорс-Айленде в гавани Нью-Йорка , а штаб- квартира третьего корпуса располагался в Форт-Ховарде недалеко от Балтимора, штат Мэриленд . Общая задача Первой армии заключалась в командовании и обучении подразделений регулярной армии, Национальной гвардии и организованного резерва на трех участках корпуса.

First Army's first commander, from 1932 to 1936, was Major General Dennis E. Nolan, who had been the American Expeditionary Force's (AEF) chief of intelligence during World War I. He was followed by Major General Fox Conner, previously First Corps Area commander, who had been the AEF's Chief of Operations in World War I. In the years between the wars, Conner was a crucial mentor in the careers of Dwight Eisenhower and George C. Marshall. Passed over as a candidate for Army Chief of Staff for Douglas MacArthur in 1930, Conner was assigned to command the First Corps Area instead, later commanding First Army in 1936. Conner retired in 1938.

In 1938, First Army came under command of General Hugh A. Drum. Drum began to develop the First Army into a bona fide field army with the expansion of the Army in 1939 and through the early 1940s. It began to establish and develop its own staff and participated in the large-scale Army maneuvers in Louisiana and North Carolina between 1939 and 1941. As the United States entered World War II, Drum was assigned command of the newly established Eastern Defense Command, responsible for coastal and domestic defense, which relieved the First Army of this responsibility on 24 December 1942. Drum retired in 1943 when he reached the mandatory retirement age. General George Grunert, commander of the Second Service Command, assumed command of the First Army until Headquarters, First Army was activated in Bristol, England in January 1944 under the command of General Omar Bradley.

World War II

First Army's entry into World War II began in October 1943 as Bradley returned to Washington, D.C., to receive his command and began to assemble a staff and headquarters to prepare for Operation Overlord, the codename assigned to the establishment of a large-scale lodgement on the European Continent following Operation Neptune, which was the invasion of Normandy. The headquarters were activated in January 1944 at Bristol, England.

The second iteration of the First Army as constituted in the Regular Army after World War I did not continue the lineage of the World War I-era First Army; on 27 June 1944, the World War I-era First Army was reconstituted in the Regular Army as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, First Army, and was consolidated with the active Headquarters and Headquarters Company, First Army. Upon going ashore on 6 June 1944, D-Day, First Army came under General Bernard Montgomery's 21st Army Group (alongside the British Second Army) which commanded all American ground forces during the invasion. Three American divisions were landed by sea at the western end of the beaches, and two more were landed by air. On Utah Beach, the assault troops of VII Corps made good progress, but V Corps on Omaha Beach came nearest of all of the five landing areas to disaster. The two American airborne divisions that landed, the 82nd and 101st, were scattered all over the landscape, and caused considerable confusion among the German soldiers, as well as largely securing their objectives, albeit with units completely mixed up with each other. First Army captured much of the early gains of the Allied forces in Normandy. Once the beachheads were linked together, its troops struck west and isolated the Cotentin Peninsula, and then captured Cherbourg. When the American Mulberry harbour was wrecked by a storm, Cherbourg became even more vital.

After the capture of Cherbourg, First Army struck south. In Operation Cobra, its forces finally managed to break through the German lines. The newly established Third Army was then fed through the gap and raced across France.

With the arrival of more US troops in France, the Army then passed from the control of the 21st Army Group to the newly arrived 12th Army Group which commanded the First Army and the newly formed Third Army under Lieutenant General George S. Patton. General Bradley assumed command of the 12th Army Group and Lieutenant General Courtney Hodges was placed in command of the First Army. First Army followed Third Army, the American armies forming the southern part of the encirclement of Germans at the Falaise pocket.

After capturing Paris (the Wehrmachtbefehlshaber von Groß-Paris, Dietrich von Choltitz, capitulated 25 August, ignoring Hitler's Trümmerfeldbefehl), During the Battle of the Mons Pocket VII Corps took approximately 25,000 prisoners. First Army headed towards the south of the Netherlands. First Army liberated most of Luxembourg in three days from 9–12 September 1944.

When the Germans attacked during the Battle of the Bulge, First Army found itself on the north side of the salient, and thus isolated from 12th Army Group, its commanding authority. It was, therefore, temporarily transferred, along with Ninth Army, back to 21st Army Group under Montgomery on 20 December. The salient was reduced by early February 1945. Following the Battle of the Bulge, the Rhineland Campaign began, and First Army was transferred back to 12th Army Group. In Operation Lumberjack, First Army closed up to the lower Rhine by 5 March, and the higher parts of the river five days later.

On 7 March, in a stroke of luck, Company A, 27th Armored Infantry Battalion, part of Combat Command B, 9th Armored Division, found the Ludendorff Bridge across the Rhine at Remagen still standing. It quickly captured the bridge and established a secure bridgehead. in the next 15 days, over 25,000 troops and their equipment crossed the river. By 4 April, an enormous pocket had been created by First Army and Ninth Army, which contained the German Army Group B under Field Marshal Model, the last significant combat force in the northwest of Germany. While some elements of First Army concentrated on reducing the Ruhr pocket, others headed further east, creating another pocket containing the German Eleventh Army. First Army reached the Elbe by 18 April. There the advance halted, as that was the agreed demarcation zone between the American and Soviet forces. First Army and Soviet forces met on 25 April.

In May 1945, advance elements of First Army headquarters had returned to New York City and were preparing to redeploy to the Pacific theater of the war to prepare for Operation Coronet, the planned second phase of Operation Downfall the proposed invasion of Honshū, the main island of Japan in the spring of 1946, but the Japanese surrender in August 1945 thanks to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki terminated that effort.

Post-war and peacetime missions

First Army returned to the United States in late 1945; first to Fort Jackson (South Carolina), then to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, returning to Fort Jay, Governors Island, New York, in the spring of 1946. Twenty years later, in 1966, First Army relocated to Fort Meade, Maryland, and took over the responsibilities of Second Army, which was inactivated. In 1973, First Army's mission changed from training and preparation of active units to Army Reserve units. In a 1993 reorganization, five divisions carried out that training and support mission:

75th Division, Houston, Texas

78th "Lightning" Division, Edison, New Jersey

85th "Custer" Division, Arlington Heights, Illinois

87th "Golden Acorn" Division, Birmingham, Alabama

91st "Wild West" Division, Dublin, California

In 1993, Headquarters First Army relocated to Fort Gillem, near Atlanta, Georgia, and became responsible for the training and mobilization of all Army Reserve and National Guard units in the United States and providing assistance to the civilian sector during national emergencies and natural disasters. In the latter role, First Army's contributions during the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster was a rare bright spot in leading federal relief efforts in the aftermath of the storm. Its commander, Russel L. Honoré, a Louisiana native, became a nationally recognized figure in his direct, no-nonsense approach to disaster relief which earned First Army a Joint Meritorious Unit Award.

In the 21st century, First Army was subjected to more changes as base closures and force structures were instituted to modernize, economize and change its mission. In 2005, a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission decision called for the relocation of First Army headquarters to Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, in 2011. Its former quarters at Fort Gillem was to transition to a single national location for the mobilization and demobilization of Army National Guard and Reserve units.

In a second change, as part of the 2006 reorganization of the United States Army program, First Army exchanged its civilian assistance mission for the training and support missions for military units in the western United States formerly held by US Fifth Army. Fifth Army then became U.S. Army, North with responsibilities for homeland defense and domestic emergency assistance.

First Army inactivated its training divisions and reactivated them as separate training brigades under two commands. First Army Division East, headquartered at Fort Knox, Kentucky (relocated from Fort Meade, Maryland in 2016), has responsibilities in all states east of the Mississippi River; and First Army Division West assuming Fifth Army's role and relocating from Fort Carson to its new headquarters at Fort Cavazos, Texas, oversees units in all states west of the Mississippi River.

First United States Army was redesignated as First Army on 3 October 2006.
