Bridging the Prüm and relief of the 6^th Armored was accomplished by midnight of the 3^rd, and the following morning the Division began its task of clearing the area between the Prüm and Kyll rivers, the 4^th Infantry Division on its left, the 6^th Cavalry Group on the right.

Had the enemy chose to defend the zone, the 90^th's advance might have proved a costly one since the terrain was one which favored the defense. Pressure along the entire Third Army front, however, sent the Germans scurrying back to the east banks of the Kyll. Rearguard action and roadblocks provided the principal obstacles, and intermittent rains also made quagmires of the roads.

Task Force Kedrosky, subdivided into Task Force Kelly and Dye, punched forward through roadblocks and fire fights. Towns, villages, and cities fell swiftly before the advancing troops. Enemy tanks which ventured to offer battle were quickly destroyed or put to flight. Moving forward at a pace unequaled since the drive through France, the Division stood on the west banks of the Kyll River in less than two days after the assault had begun.
