Marshall’s leadership played an important role in the day to day operation of the Civilian Conservation Corps. As a district commander of two separate areas during the height of the depression he was able to gain valuable experience commanding civilians that would serve him later when he became the Chief of Staff in the Army during World War II. The training he acquired during the early months of 1933 grounded him firmly grounded him with the ability to communicate with civilians and military troops. George C. Marshall’s time with the Civilian Conservation Corps was an inspiration for him and one that forged a lasting bond of caring that he exhibited throughout his professional career regardless of where he was stationed. Marshall had an uncanny ability to know what the men he commanded needed most, and was not above putting himself though the same hardships as those under his command. His ability to command civilians in the CCC stretched back nearly twenty years, with his first opportunity to work with civilians as a young Captain of Infantry while stationed at Fort Douglas in Utah during the summer of 1916.

At its core, the narrative follows the military career of Major General James G. Harbord. His time in France saw Harbord serve in the three main areas of the American Expeditionary Forces: administration, combat, and logistics. As chief of staff to AEF commander General John J.

    “Battles Were Not Fought in Lines”: Nationalism, Industrialism and Progressivism in the American Military Discourse, 1865-1918

    “Battles Were Not Fought In Lines”: Nationalism, Industrialism and Progressivism in the American Military Discourse, 1865-1918 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Leif A. Torkelsen, A.B., M.A., J.D. Department of History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Geoffrey Parker, Adviser Dr. Nathan Rosenstein Dr. Bruno Cabanes Copyright by Leif A. Torkelsen 2018 Abstract Although notably modest in size compared to its European counterparts, the United States Army was still acutely aware of the technological and tactical developments occurring overseas in the decades prior to the First World War. Nonetheless, in the years 1914-17, US military planners were stubbornly reluctant to accept the extraordinary innovations then taking place on the battlefields of Europe. Worse still, when the United States finally did enter the war, the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in France resisted adopting the techniques and tactics of their allies, developed in battle at such great cost. Instead, the U.S. Army’s Field Service Regulations clung to a vision of lines of riflemen, advancing in open order, overcoming all resistance with controlled rifle fire followed-up with the bayonet. Trained in such outmoded and linear tactics (“open warfare”, as Pershing called it), the American troops fighting in France needlessly suffered heavy losses. This, despite the fact that the American army possessed a modern general staff, numerous service schools and journals, military attachés and observers the world over. The reasons for this failure lay in the development of the military discourse developed by the U.S.
