	First World War.com - Primary Documents - Sir Douglas Haig's 4th Despatch (1917 Campaigns), 25 December 1917
		The general plan of campaign to be pursued by the Allied Armies during 1917 was unanimously agreed on by a conference of military representatives of all the Allied Powers held at French General Headquarters in November, 1916.
		The obstinacy of the enemy's resistance, however, in Heninel and Wancourt, which held up the advance of the Third Army at these points, prevented the troops of the two Armies from joining hands, and the attacking troops of the Fifth Army were obliged to withdraw to their original line.
		I therefore determined to extend the left of the Second Army northwards, entrusting the attack upon the whole of the high ground crossed by the Menin Road to General Sir Herbert Plumer as a single self-contained operation, to be carried out in conjunction with the attacks of the Fifth Army farther north.

		Fifth Army, with a total of five divisions, held the sector running west from the Elsa along the south bank of the Arno to the Ligurian Sea about ten miles north of Leghorn.
		Evacuation from Fifth Army units to airfields or to base hospitals in the immediate rear of the army was by the 161st and 162d Medical Battalions, both of which had reduced their collecting companies to ambulance companies in order to supply personnel to their clearing platoons for the operation of special hospitals.
		Fifth Army studies made earlier in the year indicated that many who died in evacuation hospitals could have been saved by the more prompt attention possible in a hospital closer to the front, and a larger proportion of combat wounds accordingly received initial surgery in the field hospitals.

		When the representatives of OB WEST and Army Group B first heard of the Defensive Battle in the West, the Fuehrer had given Model, as the commander directly charged with the operation, three armies: the Fifth and Sixth Panzer Armies and the Seventh Army.
		This unit, the 21st Panzer Division, belonged to Army Group G and was committed as a roving halfback, stiffening those parts of the line where attacks by the Third and Seventh U.S. Armies threatened to penetrate.
		The Fifteenth Army, however, was not to be employed until the Allies had reacted in force to the German attack, and in any case could not be expected to launch a large-scale attack until the Allied front east of Aachen had been drastically denuded of troops.

	The Sparapetut'iwn in Armenia in the 4-5th Centuries
		As an ally of the one and a border state of both, Armenia was subjected to devastation by the armies of both empires.
		The chief of the military was the Eran-spahbad, and until the time of Xosrov I (531 579), the Iranian army was under the command of a single Eran-spahbad who performed the threefold functions of minister of war, commander-in-chief, and negotiator of the peace (3).
		The spahbad of the east controlled the armies of Khurasan, Sacastan, and Kerman; the spahbad of the south, the armies of Pars and Susiana; the spahbad of the west, the armies of Iraq to the Byzantine frontier; and the spahbad of the north, the armies of Media and Azerbaijan (4).

	A.F. Pollard - A Short History Of The Great War - Chapter XVIII
		There were concentrated the French and British armies which Germany must beat before she could win peace; and there came in the American hosts which turned the scale against her.
		With or without unity of command, the two million American troops which ultimately crossed the Atlantic would have given us the victory; and the view that the war was won by unity of command is as superficial as the view that the battle of St. Quentin was lost by the lack of it.
		The latter at least could not reply, and the unfairness of the attack provoked much ill-feeling in the army and elsewhere; it found expression in a letter from Major-General Maurice, lately Director of Military Operations, which was published on 7 May and challenged the accuracy of ministerial statements.

		This was due, partly to the disclosures of the Dreyfus case; partly to a wave of internationalism and pacifism; partly to jealousy of the army among civil officials.
		Their extra-suspender-button efficiency and preparedness were pitted against the flexible genius of a man who could assemble his two "shock" armies in two days and put them under the command of men picked not from the top of his list of available commanders, but practically from the bottom.
		The Third, Fourth and Fifth armies of Joffre were those which had sustained the terrific onslaught in the north and had been fighting in retreat, practically since the beginning.

		HINTS: No matter how many armies you recieve at the start of your turn, deploy them carefully-either to prepare for an attack or to defend against one.
		It's good military strategy to move your armies to the front, heavily fortifying territories that border enemy territories.

		The object of an attack is to capture a territory by defeating all the opposing armies already on it.
		You may continue attacking one territory until you have eliminated all armies on it, or you may shift your attack from one territory to another, attacking each as often as you like and attacking as many territories as you like during one turn.

		They say that the German army had been steadily deteriorating for years; they say that the crumbling of the German troops on the 8th of August proves it was this long deterioration and not a decisive battle which led to German defeat.
		With both German armies on the Marne and to the south of it west of Epernay, the center of the Allied line would be broken.
		Though the American nation, with the vanishing of the frontier, has ceased to be a nation of riflemen, the American army not only has preserved the traditions of the frontier forefathers, but has insisted upon the careful training of the infantry soldier to use his rifle as his primary weapon.

		When he returned to his headquarters, he ordered Fifth Army to break contact and withdraw, and he focused his efforts on halting the enemy along a new line running between Compiègne, Soissons, and Reims, thirty to forty kilometers to the rear of the Amiens-Reims line.
		Basically, Gallieni argued that Maunoury's Sixth Army would move into position--as directed by Joffre--on the evening of the 4th and probably would make contact with the enemy on the afternoon of the 5th and alert them to the threat against their flank.
		Additionally, as Sixth, British, and Fifth armies attacked the Germans' right flank, Joffre displayed strong judgment and a remarkable degree of composure in his calm response to near disasters on both flanks of Fourth army, the right of Ninth Army, the left of Third Army, and the front of Second Army.
