  • George Washington and George Marshall: Some Reflections on the American Military Tradition” Don Higginbotham, 1984
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #26 “George Washington and George Marshall: Some Reflections on the American Military Tradition” Don Higginbotham, 1984 Though this is my second visit to the Air Force Academy, it is my first opportunity to present an address. I have had more exposure in this regard to one of your sister institutions: West Point. I must be careful not to speak of you as army men and women; but if I forget it will not be out of partiality. Gen. George Marshall at times was amused and at other times irritated by the partiality shown for the Navy by President Franklin Roosevelt, whom you may recall loved the sea and had been assistant secretary of the navy in the Wilson administration. On one occasion Marshall had had enough and pleaded good humoredly, "At least, Mr. President, stop speaking of the Army as 'they' and the Navy as ‘us’!” The title of this lecture suggests the obvious: that I consider it informative and instructive to look at certain similarities of experience and attitude shared by George Washington and George Marshall. In so doing, I want to speculate on their place in the American military tradition. These introductory remarks sound as though I am searching for relevance, and that is the case. No doubt at times historians, to say nothing of their readers, wish that the contemporary world would get lost so as to leave them unfettered to delve into the past for its own sake.

    Douglas MacArthur - An Administrative Biography by William J. Tehan III Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSPHY in Public Administration and Policy John A. Rohr, Chair Gary W. Wamsley James F. Wolf Charles T. Goodsell Philip S. Kronenberg August 30, 2002 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Douglas MacArthur, Administrative Biography, Public Administration Copyright 2002, William J. Tehan III Committee Chairman: John A. Rohr Center for Public Administration and Policy Douglas MacArthur - AN ADMINISTRATIVE BIOGRAPHY by William J. Tehan III Committee Chairman: John A Rohr Center for Public Administration and Policy (ABSTRACT) For more than a half century Douglas MacArthur was a public servant of the United States. He is best remembered as a general and soldier, especially for his leadership during World War II and the Korean War. MacArthur was also the Superintendent of West Point, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Generalissimo (Commander) of the Armed Forces and Military Advisor (Minister of Defense) to the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, and Supreme Commander Allied Powers and Military Governor of occupied Japan. In these positions he functioned not as a soldier, but as a senior public administrator. The dissertation will begin by establishing the military as a valid and unique field of Public Administration. Contributions of military administration to the discipline of Public Administration will then be examined. The dissertation will examine MacArthur's professional and academic training for his previously listed administrative posts. A determination and analysis of MacArthur's theoretical and applied approaches to Public Administration and General Management Theories will be made.

  • 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.

  • Philippine Islands 7 December 1941–10 May 1942
    Introduction World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. However, the half century that now separates us from that conflict has exacted its toll on our collective knowledge. While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military schol- ars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and mil- itary implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. During the next several years, the U.S. Army will participate in the nation’s 50th anniversary commemoration of World War II. The commemoration will include the publication of various materials to help educate Americans about that war. The works produced will pro- vide great opportunities to learn about and renew pride in an Army that fought so magnificently in what has been called “the mighty endeavor.” World War II was waged on land, on sea, and in the air over sever- al diverse theaters of operation for approximately six years. The fol- lowing essay is one of a series of campaign studies highlighting those struggles that, with their accompanying suggestions for further read- ing, are designed to introduce you to one of the Army’s significant mil- itary feats from that war. This brochure was prepared in the U.S.

Grimaldi A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2020 Abstract Effective communication and good leadership have a significant impact on the result of military battles. Communication and leadership, within military protocol, are key to the result. The history books have demonstrated inconsistencies in the treatment of officers in command of defensive battles that were lost or although ultimately victorious, should have been prevented. They were not held accountable to the same standards. History has been benevolent to the American generals of World War II (WWII) allowing them to retire at their highest rank with the exception of Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, the Navy commander of Pearl Harbor, and Lieutenant General Walter C.
