 | On November 16th, the 13th Infantry and the 8th Reconnaissance Troop began the motor march of the 8th Division to the V Corps front, and by nightfall, November 19th, all elements of the Division had closed into their positions in the area southeast of Aachen. |
| The Division plan was to attack first with the 121st Infantry, through the sector of the 12th Infantry, 4th Division, on the north flank, and seize the remaining wooded terrain west of Hurtgen. |
| Division Artillery was directed to furnish close-in protective fires, paying particular attention to the gap between the 1st Battalion, 121st, and Combat Command "R" in Bergstein, and to the enemy pocket still holding out in front of the 2nd Battalion, 28th, southeast of Vossenack. |
