Supreme Allied Commander Marshal Ferdinand Foch had a plan to smash the enemy back and potentially end the war that year. &amp;nbsp; GEN John J \u201cBlackjack\u201d Pershing and his American Expeditionary Force were to play a major role in Foch\u2019s plan, but to Pershing only as an independent force under his command. The story of the plans for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive is one of two very strong personalities coming together after a long, bumpy road. &amp;nbsp; The BFWWP is now on Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast. &amp;nbsp; Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com or the Battles of the First World War Podcast page on FaceBook.
