US Terminology

In US usage the term "Nth Infantry" or "Nth Armored" refers to a regiment, not a division. So "9th Infantry" would be the 9th Infantry Regiment, not the 9th Infantry Division. This can cause some confusion so I added the term 'Division' where appropriate.

North African Campaign

There is no such campaign as the North African Campaign. North Africa was a Sub-Theater of the europe-Africa-Middle East Theater of war in World War II. The Tunisian Campaign was just that. SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 23:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

May be true from a strict sense in the language you are used to, but I would hate to throw away the North African Campaign article. Perhaps that should be renamed, but I'd like to keep a link. John (Jwy) 23:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I would disagree. We don't always go by official campaign names here (otherwise we'd be in a heap of problems with conflicting terms, overlap, country-specific names etc.). The NAC is certainly a prevelant enough name for the actions that the article describes. Oberiko 23:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Correction: North Africa

1935 Hours, 12 April 2006

Corneliusseon is mistaken. Here are the US Army's relevant campaigns.

Egypt-Libya 11 June 1942-12 February 1943
Algeria-French Morocco 8-11 November 1942
Tunisia 17 November 1942-13 May 1943

During the fighting the theater was officially termed the North African Theater of Operations (NATO). It was subordinated to the Mediterranean Theater of Operation (MTO), but never repeat never was a subordinate theater of war to the European Theater of Operations (ETO). After the war, the Army found it more convenient to issue a single campaign ribbon to cover the ETO, MTO, NATO, etc.

"Aftermath"

I think the changes just reverted are not questionable - what is the specific issue? John (Jwy) 03:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

There being no explanation, I plan to re-insert this information later in the week. Please let me know if I should not (and why not). Let's collaborate here. John (Jwy) 22:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Who did the reorganization of the commanders? Eisenhower, Alexander ?GraemeLeggett 09:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
