The 1st Army had its army headquarters located at Glons, south-east of Tongeren, Belgium. Following mobilisation, the army oversaw three corps: II, III, IV, and IX Corps; which encompassed the majority of Northern Germany. These corps were raised from the provinces of Pomerania, Brandenburg, Prussian Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein.
The 1st Army formed part of the right-wing element of the Schlieffen Plan and tasked with advancing through Belgium into France alongside the German 2nd Army towards Paris. The Army was heavily engaged and slowed during several major engagements including: Battle of Mons, Battle of Le Cateau, Great Retreat, First Battle of the Marne, and Battles on the Aisne. After reorganisations to the Field Army's structure, the 1st Army was disbanded on 17th September 1914 and its units distributed to neighbouring armies.
