PLAN OF ATTACK

According to plan, the 56th White American Division was on the left, the 92nd Black Division was in the center, and the French Army with Black American Soldiers of the 93rd Division was on the right. The 367th Regiment(US)led the advance and forged ahead of the flanking(left and right side) units. The entire First Battalion of the 367th was awarded the Croix de Guerre metal.This time, wise field direction held them back. For the first time, the 367th was supported by their own Negro Field Artillery.

Besides the four Infantry Regiments, the 92nd Division had the usual other units.
