  • 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.
