First United States Army Group

Common card · No. 445197

First United States Army Group (often abbreviated FUSAG) was a fictitious (paper command) Allied Army Group in World War II prior to D-Day, part of Operation Quicksilver, used to deceive the Germans about where the Allies would land in France. Originally a real but skeleton formation for U.S. General Omar Bradley's planning activities for the invasion, it fell into disuse before being fictitiously reactivated with prominent general George S. Patton named as commander to attract German attention.
