	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: U.S. Ninth Army
		Ninth Army was the fourth US Army to come into action in France, after First Army which had taken part in the initial Overlord landings, Third Army which had first been used just after the breakout from Normandy, and Seventh Army which had landed in southern France on 15 August.
		Ninth Army was isolated from the headquarters of 12th Army Group, and it was thus placed under the command of 21st Army Group along with First Army.
		When First Army and Third Army had finished reducing the salient, First Army returned to the command of 12th Army Group, but Ninth Army remained under the command of 21st Army Group for the remainder of the Rhineland Campaign.

	USFA History - Early Occupation
		To the west of the Seventh, the French First Army, also of 6th Army Group, was instructed to clear along the Swiss frontier and to subsequently enter Austria from the west (Vorarlberg) if the situation required.
		The boundary between the Seventh and Third Armies was changed twice, once on 13 May and again on 16 May. On 21 May, the boundary between the two armies was changed once more when XV Corps at Salzburg together with all of its assigned and attached units was transferred to Third Army control.
		This relief was necessary to allow Seventh Army to eventually move to Heidelberg and assume its primary role as one of the two designated Armies of Occupation with the mission of controlling the Western Military District, one of the two principal occupation areas in Germany.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: The Supreme Command (ETO) [Chapter 22]
		To the south of the 12th Army Group, General Devers was ordered to protect the right flank of the main advance and he prepared to move through the Danube valley to link up with the Russians.
		Further, since the 12th Army Group commander intended to bring up the Fifteenth U.S. Army to assume the occupation duties of the First and Ninth Armies in the Rhineland, he would need control of the three armies in order to co-ordinate their relief.
		Worse still, his army group lost all connection with Army Group G to the south, and there was danger that the Allied advance in the north, which seemed to proceed "like a peacetime maneuver, executed with all technical means of modern warfare," would soon separate his forces from the army group in the north.

	Omar Nelson Bradley, General of the Army
		In February 1941, as the Army was expanding in anticipation of war with the Axis Powers, Marshall promoted Bradley from lieutenant colonel to brigadier general, skipping the rank of colonel, and sent him to Fort Benning to command the Infantry School.
		The fighting in North Africa was over, and the U.S. Army, as Bradley put it, had "learned to crawl, to walk - then run." He then immediately went to Algiers to help plan the invasion of Sicily, the next objective in the Allied timetable approved at the Casablanca Conference.
		The headquarters deployed to England in October 1943, and Bradley took on the dual task of First Army commander and acting commander of the skeletal 1st U.S. Army Group (subsequently redesignated the 12th Army Group).

		In one critical instance, eight Signal Corps soldiers from Bradley's 12th Army Group's signal section — helped by 12 guards from 825th Tank Destroyer Battalion — fought to defend their radio-relay sites and keep them operating.
		The inconspicuous relay was the only communications channel between 12th Group and 9th Army at Maastrict, and between 12th Group and 1st Army at Spa.
		However, probably few generals, relaying their commands and instructions, knew a small, isolated group of signalmen on a hill only two football fields from the advancing enemy, were part of the link.
