1. Argonne Parade Ground Marker
The largest of the parade grounds, Argonne Parade was established in 1910 to provide a large area for the assembly of troops and for maneuvers of the large cavalry and artillery formations stationed at Fort D.A. Russell. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive was the greatest American battle of the First World War. The U.S. provided 260,000 troops, 2700 guns and a tank brigade. The bulk of the forces engaged in the initial onslaught had to be transferred from the St. Mihiel Salient. The shifting of forces in such a short period of time was one of the great accomplishments of the war. The offensive raged from 25 Sep 1918 to the Armistice at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 (now Veterans Day).
