After crossing the Moselle River on the 12th of September, CCA of the 4th Armored Division spent the next six days exploiting a breakthrough in the enemy lines and advancing 45 miles behind them.

By the evening of the 18th the American force was in positions north and east of the town of Arracourt. The next day the Germans counterattacked the forward positions of CCA with elements of the 113th Panzer Brigade. However their attacks were conducted in a piecemeal fashion, allowing the Americans to defeat each in detail, and resulted in the crippling of the 113th as a fighting unit.

Late in the day the German 111th Panzer Brigade arrived on the scene but was too late to do anything that day so they settled into positions for the night.
