The NYPOE was the largest and in many ways the prototype and archetype of "Port of Embarkation (United States Army)" so a good bit of general information here is appropriate. Some general information I am adding now may migrate to a general article on the eight WW II ports of embarkation with links to the individual ports. World War I POEs are within the WW II ports, i.e., no WW I port was not a WW II POE. Intent now is to cover fact an Army POE was anything but a random collection of port facilities. They were large operations with control over vast areas and huge troop movements. For example, the actual movement of an Army division from some inland post to the port was under port, not post control and the port's reach extended at sea to the port of disembarkation or landing beach.
