The United States was not well-prepared when its participation in World War I became formal and active. While industrial and other logistical preparations were sorely lacking, one of the most pressing military problems was the lack of training centers for the hundreds of thousands of eager volunteers who were joining the ranks in order to fight the Central Powers. It was only through the Herculean efforts of a small handful of professional staff officers around the country, most of whom were improvising in an instinctual way, that the needed centers were built, maintained, and directed towards the training of an efficient fighting-force that proved vital in the ultimate Allied victory.
