Summary

During a fierce battle at Bastogne, Commandant B of the 10th Armored Division was tasked with leading a volatile force through the front lines while the Division commander, BG McAuliffe, was absent in the United States. While the 101st absorbed its last fighting units from previous days, the Army had a specific 969th Field Artillery Battalion serving as the core of its provisional artillery group. This African-American unit continued to command the division despite the Battle of the Bulge beginning while they were still in the US, meaning the overall leadership of the division ultimately fell to BG McAuliffe.
