12th Army Group

The 12th Army Group was a large military formation used by the United States during World War II, primarily in Europe. Think of it as a major "team" consisting of multiple armies working together under a single command to coordinate the effort against the enemy. It was responsible for planning and executing large-scale operations across a broad area, directing the movement, strategy, and logistics of thousands of soldiers and equipment. This structure allowed for efficient command and control, enabling rapid responses and unified action during major campaigns like the invasion of Germany.
