As a result, by September 1918, Colonel George S. Patton Jr. had finished training two tank battalions - 144 French-built Renault FT light tanks organized as the 344th and 345th battalions of the United States Tank Corps - at Langres, France for an upcoming offensive at the St. Mihiel salient.
The new and highly effective Renault FT tanks were introduced on the battlefield for the first time.
Early in 1924 Lt Szostak joined the Central Tank School of the 1st Tank Regiment equipped with Renault FT-17 tanks, and from August 1925 he commanded a platoon of the 7th Tank Company.
