A popular meme states that Nazi Germany and the USSR had trouble figuring out how to prepare for US military doctrine because the US forces themselves where not good at following it. To what extent is any of this true?

I hope someone can provide a meaningful answer as regards to the US army doctrine. In the meantime, people have asked about the legitimacy of these quotes before: they're probably apocryphal.

While more could be said about this, particularly how cultures create narratives about groups they are envious of or otherwise resent as a way of establishing national identities in term of perceived traits, u/Nubz9000 does a good job of describing American WWII military doctrine relevant to this historiography in his response to a question about the distinctiveness of period American small arms here.
