Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Bishii Maarso 15, 1916, Pershing wuxuu hogaamiyay howlgal uu ku galay Mexico si uu u qabto Pancho Villa. Safarkan ayaa ahaa mid qalabkiisu liito waxaana caqabad ku ahaa sahay la'aanta sababtoo ah burburka Ciidanka Quartermaster Corps. Inkastoo sanado badan laga hadlayey dagaalka xadka, wax talaabo ah looma qaadin si loo bixiyo maaraynta sahayda safarka. Inkastoo tani iyo caqabado kale, sida la'aanta gargaarka ka yimid dowladdii hore ee Mexico, iyo diidmadooda inay u oggolaadaan ciidamada Mareykanka inay ciidamada iyo sahayda ka dhoofiyaan jidadkooda tareenka, Pershing ayaa abaabulay oo amar ku bixiyay ciidamada Mexico.
Ciidanka Asluubta ee Mexico, 10,000 oo askari oo isku dhaf ah ayaa waxay galeen gudaha Mexico. Way ka carareen kacdoonkii Villa, laakiin way ku guul dareesteen inay qabsadaan.
