“The U.S Army’s first use of trucks in a military operation was in the “Punitive Expedition” in pursuit of “Pancho” Villa into the mountains of northern Mexico in 1916. The Villistas had raided Columbus, N.M., killing several people and causing much damage. Brigadier General John Pershing organized a large force of troops, horses, and vehicles to catch Villa. Among the motor vehicles were some 1915 GMC model 15, three-quarter-ton trucks.”
