  • Leadership and Operational Art in World War II
    he U.S. Army’s reputation for effectiveness during World War T II has not fared well over time, particularly regarding the European theater of operations. This is surprising given what the Army accomplished. Just to refresh the reader’s memory, the United States went to war with a small, impoverished Army that conducted maneuvers with wooden weapons and borrowed vehicles in the years leading up to World War II. Yet within 12 months of Germany declaring war on the United States, the Army invaded North Africa and knocked Vichy French forces out of the war. In another 12 months, it knocked Italy out of the war. And 12 months later, the Army was on the border of Germany, having just defeated Adolf Hitler’s last-gasp effort to stop the Allied onslaught. Nevertheless, these achievements seem to have diminished over time. By way of illustration, ask any military of- ficer which of the following factors best explains U.S. victories in the European theater during World War II: • Army leaders executed an organi- zational miracle in quickly creating Left to right, Henry H. Arnold, Joseph T. competent armies that won a series McNarney, George C. Marshall, Brehon of victories from North Africa to the B. Somervell, and Lesley J.

  • George C. Marshall and the Education of Army Leaders
    The following essay was initially published in Military Review 68 (October 1988): 27− 37. This journal is published at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Slight modifications and corrections have been made in the version below. George C. Marshall and the Education of Army Leaders By Larry I. Bland At all levels of United States society today, there is a strong current of concern with "leadership"—its present quality and the hope that it can be improved via the education of the younger generation. Every student of the past’s great captains can produce a lengthy catalog of important leadership characteristics. Certainly high on such lists is the leader’s dedication, beyond mere technical expertise, to an understanding of his calling and of its role in society. Less often perceived, perhaps, by those who study the careers of military leaders is that many such leaders have consciously and subtly sought to teach their subordinates, peers, and sometimes even their superiors. In part, this teacher role sprang from the leaders’ determination to disseminate certain views and, in part, the mantle was thrust upon them by those who wished to accompany, assist, or emulate their journey. One of the Army’s greatest teacher-leaders was George C. Marshall. He was a tolerant, broad-minded student of the history and development of his profession, who sought to teach the lessons he learned to the younger generation of ground and air leaders. For these reasons, and most importantly because he served as chief of staff of the US Army between July 1939 and November 1945, his world view acted as a kind of filter through which flowed the military ideas and values of a large number of World War II Army and Air Force leaders.

  • MARSHALL INTERVIEWS in 1956-57 General Marshall Recorded on Eape Some Forty Hours of Answers and Comments in Response to Questions Submitted by Me
    MARSHALL INTERVIEWS In 1956-57 General Marshall recorded on eape some forty hours of answers and comments in response to questions submitted by me. This material was recorded in sessions at the Pentagon, at Leesburg, and at Pinehurst. Some of the comnients were recorded without my being present, with his orderly, Sergeant William Heffner, run- ning the machine. In addition, General Marshall talked to me about fifteen hours without a tape recorder. Part of the comments in these sessions was recorded by his secretary, Miss Mary Louise Spilman, and part by me. The interviews and this biography began with a project first suggested in 1951by friends and admirers of General Marshall. In 1953 a group of graduates of his alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, headed by the late John C. Hagan. Jr , estab- lished the George C. Marshall Research Foundation to collect material on the Gen- eral’s career which would furnish information for a definitive biography and for numerous special studies on the period in which Marshall served as soldier and statesmen. Earlier the group had been assured of the backing of President Harry S. Truman in the collection of documents and the development of a Research Center. Shortly before leaving office, Mr. Truman issued a directive to the General Services Administrator, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense “to cooperate with Virginia Military Institute and the proposed George C. Marshall Research Founda- tion in procuring documentary material relating to the activities of General Marshall as a soldier, as Secretary of State, and as Secretary of Defense.” In 1956 President Eisenhower wrote a similar letter, and this official support was reaffirmed by Presi- dent Kennedy in 1962 and President Johnson in 1965.

Show jumping was first held at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. Women were not permitted to compete in the Olympic Equestrian sport until 60 years ago. Denmark’s Lis Hartel, individual silver medalist in Dressage at the 1952 Olympic Games, was one of four female riders competing in Helsinki. The first woman to participate in Olympic Jumping was Pat Smythe (GBR), who won team bronze at the 1956 Olympic Games in Stockholm. The minimum age for riders is 18 years of age. Horses must be at least 9 years old. The Pan American Games are held the year before the Olympic Games. The first Pan American Games was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1951. The World Equestrian Games (WEG) is held two years after the Olympic Games. “The first World Equestrian Games was held in Stockholm, Sweden in 1990. The idea behind the World Equestrian Games came into being in the mid-1980’s and was strongly supported, if not originally proposed, by HRH Prince Philip, the then-FEI President.

  • 761St Tank Battalion the 761St Tank Battalion Was a Separate Tank Battalion of the United States Army During World War II
    761st Black Panthers Page 1 of 4 761st Tank Battalion The 761st Tank Battalion was a separate tank battalion of the United States Army during World War II. The 761st was made up primarily of African-American soldiers, who by War Department policy were not permitted to serve alongside white troops; the U.S. military did not officially desegregate until after World War II. The 761st were known as the Black Panthers after their unit's distinctive insignia, which featured a black panther’s head; their motto was "Come out fighting". The battalion received a Presidential Unit Citation for its actions. In addition, a large number of individual members also received medals, including one Medal of Honor, 11 Silver Stars and about 300 Purple Hearts.[1] The unit has been called "one of the most effective tank battalions in World War II". Immediately before and during World War II, U.S. military leaders had reservations about using African American soldiers in combat.[2] General Lesley J. McNair, the commander of Army Ground Forces, successfully argued that "colored" units should be employed in combat. At McNair's suggestion, the U.S. Army began to experiment with segregated combat units in 1941; the program was supported by, and given national exposure in, Life magazine.[3] The 761st was constituted on 15 March 1942, and activated 1 April 1942, at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. Most of the black tankers had to train in installations located in deep Southern states such as Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas. In the days before the civil rights advances made in the 1960s, black people were still treated harshly in the South and often TAKEN FROM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/761st_Tank_Battalion_(United_States) COLEMAN A.

Oral History Interview, 1994. User Copy: 2 sound cassettes (ca. 88 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 2 sound cassettes (ca. 88 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Abstract: Donald May, a Fond du Lac, Wisconsin native, discusses his service with the 421 st Military Police Escort Guard Company during World War II. He was born in North Saint Paul (Minnesota) but grew up in Fond du Lac (Wisconsin), graduating from high school there in 1941. May recalls hearing about the Pearl Harbor attack while working at Retlaw Hotel in Fond du Lac. People at the hotel were outraged that a “little pipsqueak country like Japan” would attack the USA, and they thought the war would be over in a weekend. May explains he took a better-paying job as a lumberjack at a Badger Ordnance Plant in Baraboo (Wisconsin) that made ammunition. In fall 1942, May started college at the University of Wisconsin but was drafted into the Army after one semester. At his induction in 1943 at Fort Sheridan (Illinois), he describes Army officers testing his German language skills. May is modest about his abilities but mentions his grandmother spoke German. He explains a large group of German-Americans from Fond du Lac, West Bend, and Milwaukee (Wisconsin) were assigned to the 421 st Military Police Escort Guard Company to escort German prisoners of war.
