Beginning of 1918 strengthened the Supreme Command the German forces on the Western Front for a planned offensive (→ German Spring Offensive of 1918). These troops were brought from the Eastern Front, which were no longer needed there after the collapse of the Tsarist Empire. As part of the restructuring has been inserted the previous army high command of the southern army resolved between the Army Department of the Army Department A and C. This was called from 8 February 1918 as Army High Command 19. It involved a headquarters in Saint- Avold.
