As the combat troops approached the fortifications of the Siegfried Line, enemy resistance stiffened and the tactical situation settled into one of a relatively static front. Opportunity was taken to regroup the medical units of First Army so that this new phase of the campaign might be more adequately covered.

The army surgeon rearranged the army medical units to provide three identical groups. One group operated in each corps zone and was charged with the responsibility for control of army medical service. The composition of the three groups was as follows :

106 Facts
The 106th Infantry Division moved from England to France and closed in its concentration area in the vicinity of Limesey, France to St Vith Belgium, completing the move at 101830A Dec 1944. In compliance with an VII Corps order the 106/ID with attachments, relieved the 2/ID in place. CG 106/ID assumed responsibility for the defense of the sector at 111900A Dec 1944. The major units attached to the division at this time were :
- 14th Cavalry Group
- 820th Tank Destroyer Bn
- 634th AAA-AW Bn
Early Dec 16, the enemy launched a coordinated infantry-tank attack with an estimated two infantry divisions and elements of two Panzer divisions preceded by an extensive artillery preparation. Captured documents taken by the division indicated the scope of the German attack. Operation Grief appeared to be part of this large scale counteroffensive. The German attack increased in fury and continued, generally along the whole sector, during the day.
