they also had radio wagons...horses at first and then motor powered...
George Patton was an aide to Pershing...ordered his Colt single action pistol from El Paso...I believe...used it to good effect in taking one of Pancho’s ...leaders...
I believe Erwin Rommel(later Desert Fox) was a young aide to the Mexican Federal Army...please correct if I am wrong...
/On May 14, 2nd Lt. George S. Patton raided the San Miguelito Ranch, near Rubio, Chihuahua. Patton, a Pershing aide and a future World War II general, was out looking to buy some corn from the Mexicans when he came across the ranch of Julio Cárdenas, an important leader in the Villista military organization. With fifteen men and three Dodge touring cars, Patton led America’s first motorised military action, in which Cárdenas and two other men were shot dead. The young lieutenant then had the three Mexicans strapped to the hood of the cars and driven back to General Pershings headquarters. Patton is said to have carved three notches into the twin Colt Peacemakers he carried, representing the men he killed that day. General Pershing nicknamed him the /Bandito/.

No, Rommel never set foot on Mexican soil.
On a raid, Lt. George Patton shot and killed Julio Cardenas, a high ranking member of Pancho Villa.
I believe also that the American forces included a young officer named Douglas Macarthur. And Pershing had a warrant officer who was relative of mine. Perhing thought so much of him that he put him in charge of the embarkation in New York when the AEF went overseas in WWI.
