American Expeditionary Forces (AEF)[a] adalah formasi Angkatan Bersenjata Amerika Serikat di Front Barat selama Perang Dunia I, yang sebagian besar terdiri dari unit-unit dari Angkatan Darat AS. AEF didirikan pada tanggal 5 Juli 1917, di Prancis di bawah komando Mayor Jenderal John J. Pershing saat itu. Pasukan ini bertempur bersama unit-unit Angkatan Darat Prancis, Angkatan Darat Britania Raya, Angkatan Darat Kanada, Angkatan Darat India Britania, Angkatan Darat Selandia Baru, dan Angkatan Darat Australia melawan Angkatan Darat Kekaisaran Jerman. Sejumlah kecil pasukan AEF juga bertempur bersama unit-unit Angkatan Darat Italia pada tahun 1918 melawan Angkatan Darat Austria-Hungaria. AEF membantu Angkatan Darat Prancis di Front Barat selama Serangan Aisne (pada Pertempuran Château-Thierry dan Pertempuran Belleau Wood) pada musim panas tahun 1918, dan bertempur dalam pertempuran-pertempuran utamanya dalam Pertempuran Saint-Mihiel dan Serangan Meuse-Argonne pada akhir tahun 1918.

  1. ^ 'Unit militer yang dikirim ke luar negeri oleh pemerintah AS ditetapkan sebagai Pasukan Ekspedisi Amerika (AEF) pada tahun 1917. AEF sering dikutip secara tidak tepat sebagai "Pasukan Ekspedisi Amerika." AEF terdiri dari pasukan Amerika tidak hanya di Front Barat tetapi juga di Britania Raya, Italia, Polandia, dan Rusia, oleh karena itu digunakan kata "Pasukan"."[1]
