與墨西哥革命軍交戰

未得到市長的許可前,潘興所帶領的部隊不能夠自行進入墨西哥的任何城鎮。他們無法使用主要道路而且必須與政府軍隊合作。上述種種限制讓他們幾乎不可能找出維拉及其手下。11個月後,在未無法勝過聰明維拉的情況下,潘興與其部隊即被召回國內。這是唯一一場潘興沒有打贏的戰局。


Pershing's troops were not allowed to enter any town in Mexico without permission of the mayor; they could not use major roads; and they had to cooperate with government forces. These restrictions made it nearly impossible to find Villa and his men. After 11 months, Pershing's troops were called home without a victory over the clever Villa. This was one battle Pershing did not win.
