Almost by default, Major General John J. Pershing was named commander of the American Expeditionary Force, or AEF.

约翰·J·潘兴少将几乎默认被任命为美国远征军（AEF）司令。

By the time Secretary Baker visited France in March to inspect Pershing's troops, the AEF had four divisions of combat-ready troops, around 100,000 men in total.

当贝克国务卿三月份访问法国视察潘兴的部队时，远征军已拥有四个师的战备部队，总共约十万人。

While on board, Pershing informed his future biographer Frederick Palmer, who was then attached to the AEF as a war correspondent, that he expected he would need an army of one million men in France.

在船上时，潘兴告诉他未来的传记作者弗雷德里克·帕尔默（当时他在 AEF 担任战地记者），他预计在法国需要一支由 100 万人组成的军队。

Drawing on his experience as commander of the AEF when he had setting up the supply lines for his army, Pershing coordinated the Army's efforts to create a map of the country's road network, highlighting the priority routes.

潘兴借鉴了他担任澳大利亚远征军指挥官时为军队建立补给线的经验，协调了陆军的工作， 绘制了该国的道路网络地图，突出显示了优先路线。
