General Francisco Pancho Villa and his army of Villistas attack on the town of Columbus, New Mexico in March 1916 instigated a US invasion of Mexico. Over the next eleven months, Brigadier General John J. Pershing led ten thousand US soldiers in search of Villa and his troops across the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Pershings expedition and the National Guards border defense resulted in ten battles and skirmishes, dozens of US casualties, and hundreds of Mexican casualties.
