“David, you’ve run the race well, swifter and surer than the rest, and you now stand among the giants not just in our time but of all time, joining the likes of Grant and Pershing and Marshall and Eisenhower as one of the great battle captains of American history. You’ve expanded our view of the possible, inspiring our mili-tary on to historic achievements during some of the most trying times America has ever known. And today you depart our ranks with the sincere thanks of a grateful nation. As you take the helm of the Central Intelligence Agency, your ability to see the next shot and around the corners will never be more important, and we are blessed that you will continue to serve and lead during these dynamic and uncertain times.”

Excerpt from remarks by Admiral Mike

Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at the retirement ceremony for General Petraeus August 31, 2011 at Fort Myer Virginia.

General David H. Petraeus retires August 31, 2011

You’ve expanded our view of the possible, inspiring our military on to historic achievements during some of the most trying times America has ever known.

CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS - 3 www.cgscfoundation.org

This issue of the Foundation News honors a great Soldier, General Henry Hugh Shelton,

14th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Shelton joins an exclusive group of leaders —

General Colin Powell, General Gordon Sullivan, and Mr. Ross Perot— who have dis-tinguished themselves in service to Soldiers, the Army and the nation. Clearly General Shelton is an uncommon exemplar as the recipient of the 2011 Distinguished Leadership Award, as evidenced by his continuing service as founder and executive director of the Hugh Shelton Leadership Center at North Carolina State University and

his leadership of the Hugh and Carolyn Neurotrauma Foundation, dedi-

cated to the sponsor-ship of research

in spinal cord injuries. Our congratula-tions and g r a t i t u d e to this dis-tinguished A m e r i c a n

c o n t i n u e s unabated. Ann Soby,

our Director of Operations merits

our highest commenda-tion for her vision, leadership and attention to detail for her structure and management of the Foundation’s First Golf Tournament on Sept. 6, 2011, at the Trails West Golf Course on Fort Leavenworth. Don Giles, a founding

trustee, President of Armed Forces Bank, will have ever my personal and the foundation’s gratitude for spon-soring the tandem free fall parachute jump onto the golf course to kick off the tournament, as will Ranger Jones for his support of the jump, and retired Sgt. 1st. Class Mike Elliott, former Golden Knight and Captain of the Ranger Group Parachute Team, for his uncommon professionalism. It was a thrill of a lifetime and a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

Lastly, I thank the Foundation trustees for their gracious, gen-erous and selfless service to the Foundation for the benefit of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. They remain passion-ate about furnishing the margin of excellence to the College, charged by the Army and the nation with the development of our current and future military leaders.

I thank the Foundation trustees for their gracious, generous and selfless service to the Foundation for the benefit of the

U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

From The chairman

Thank you for your service and leadershipLt. Gen. Robert Arter, U.S. Army, Ret.

The Command and General Staff College Foundation (CGSCF) was established December 28, 2005 as a tax-exempt, non-profit private cor-poration to foster a strong relationship between the military and private sector, to enrich the College’s academic environment, enhance the institution’s research activities, maintain contact with alumni, and encourage excellence in the faculty and stu-dent body to ensure the preparation of outstanding leaders for the Armed Forces of the United States and it’s allies by providing resources not available from public funds. The Command and General Staff College Foundation News is published by the foundation to inform members, alumni, stu-dents and other stakeholders about CGSCF plans and activities. The inclusion of U.S. Army, Fort Leavenworth and/or CGSC news and information in the foundation magazine does not constitute an endorsement by the Department of the Army, Fort Leavenworth or the CGSC.


First, we offer our congratu-lations to General David H. Petraeus for his extraordinary 37 years of selfless service

to the nation. Both he and Holly have remained steadfast supporters of the Foundation from its inception. General Petraeus was featured on the cover of our winter 2007 magazine with the cap-tion “Hard is not Hopeless,” a phase he used in testimony before the Senate Armed Services committee during his confirmation hearing prior to taking command in Iraq. Holly Petraeus was featured on the cover of our spring 2011 magazine for her role in support of military families from predatory lend-ers and other financial scams. As the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, General Petraeus and his wife

Holly are the new power couple in Washington D.C. We at the Foundation wish them well. We are very proud of their accomplishments in support of the Armed Forces and the nation.

We’ve been busy this year. In April we traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina where we honored General Hugh Shelton as the recipient of our 2011 Distinguished Leadership Award. On April 13, we hosted the first-ever sum-mit for CEOs of the other service staff and war college foundations at Fort Leavenworth where we exchanged best practices and lessons learned. It was a very interesting and informative event. In June, a former CGSC Commandant, retired Lt. Gen John Cushman, vis-ited with us. He shared with us the story about his father’s unit, the 15th

Infantry in China, before the invasion by the Japanese in 1937. We are pleased to pres-ent his very interesting article about the 15th Infantry in this issue.

Our first ever golf tournament, orga-nized by Ann Soby with support from her husband Chuck, was conducted this September, the day before our board meeting. It was a smashing success. The mid-section of our magazine features the golf tournament that was kicked-off by Lt. Gen Bob Arter’s free-fall parachute jump from 13,000 feet. As always we thank our sponsors who make all things possible.

In this issue we also note that for the first time we are in the national Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). This is yet another step along the path of building an endowment that enables us to provide meaningful and sustainable programs and activities for the College over time.

Lastly, we’ve added a new feature to our magazine, the presentation of books written by staff, faculty and alum-ni of the College. The College supports and encourages scholarship and we are pleased to contribute to that effort by promoting the work of these scholars.

In July an armed intruder broke into Des Moines area Congressman Leonard Boswell’s home. By the time the ordeal was over, the

intruder learned Boswell might be a 77-year-old man, but he’s still made of the stuff that as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam he exhibited every day.

Boswell owns a farmhouse in rural Decatur County near the Iowa-Missouri border. According to a spokesman and other news reports he was there with his wife, daughter and grandson, when he heard noises. The intruder held a gun to Boswell’s daughter and demand-ed money. Boswell, who had been in

another room, came rushing in and struggled with the attacker. He man-aged to help his daughter and distract the attacker while his grandson ran into another room and grabbed the congress-man’s shotgun. The attacker took off into the fields by the home.

“That was my daughter. This guy had his hand on her throat and a gun to her face. If he was going to shoot somebody, I preferred that he shoot me,” Boswell said in an interview with easterniowagovernment.com.

News reports said Boswell suffered a broken rib during the scuffle with the intruder who has since been arrested

along with an accomplice. Both face a variety of charges.

Congressman Boswell was inducted into the CGSC Hall of Fame in May 2010. He graduated CGSC in the class of 1968 and was an instructor at CGSC in 1974. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam earning Distinguished Flying Cross with an oak leaf cluster, the Soldier’s Medal, and the Bronze Star Medal with an oak leaf cluster.

This article was compiled from reports from Congressman Boswell’s website and news in the central Iowa region.

Since it was signed into law on Oct. 8, 2010, the 5-Star Generals Commemorative Coin Act has generated much activi-

ty for the CGSC Foundation. In May of this year, Bob Ulin, Foundation CEO, and I, the newly appointed Director of Finance and Administration for the Foundation, visited Washington, D.C., to meet with the products and design managers for the U.S. Mint. Together with those managers, we will be coor-dinating and developing the various designs of and the marketing strate-gies for the three-coin commemorative issue.

While visiting Washington, D.C., we also had the opportunity to sit in on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) meeting that reviewed the can-didate designs for the 2012 National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center Commemorative Coin. We gained some valuable insights about the review process. We found the meeting quite informative and are looking forward to reviewing our candidate designs with the CCAC next spring.

We are currently participating in col-laborative efforts on the design of the coins with the U.S. Mint. We provided a number of photographs of the five star generals for their artists to use in the design process. The initial design pro-cess generally takes about six weeks, after which time we will receive a

packet of designs for review. Based on our recommendations, the designs will then be refined by the artists at the Mint and presented to the CCAC and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts for their review in the spring.

While much work still remains, we are very excited to have officially kicked off this coin program. More details on the coin designs and marketing strate-gies will be forthcoming as the date nears for the coins official release to the public. Events already in the works

include an unveiling ceremony for the final coin designs tentatively planned to be held in October 2012 in Washington DC and at Fort Leavenworth.

This coin program remains our top priority. The sale of these commemo-rative coins in 2013 will generate the funds necessary to complete our capital campaign and position the Foundation to develop and sustain meaningful, long-term programs in support of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

recipient, Gen. Colin L. Powell, former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“I’m not at a loss of words very often,” said Gen. Shelton, “but I will tell you tonight is a very humbling experience… I’ve always preferred to help others rather than having people focus on me.

It is beyond anything I would have ever have imagined when I was back in Speed [N.C.] some years ago.”

On October 1, 1997, General Hugh Shelton was appointed the fourteenth chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This assignment capped a military career that spanned over thirty years.

Henry Hugh Shelton was born on January 2, 1942, in Tarboro, North Carolina, and was raised just outside a small town named Speed. He attended North Carolina State in Raleigh, where upon graduation in 1963, he received a degree in textiles and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the infantry through the Reserve Officer Training Corps program. He attended the Infantry Officer Basic Course at Fort Benning and returned to marry his high school sweetheart, Carolyn Johnson. After the wedding, the new-lyweds returned to Fort Benning, where Lieutenant Shelton

attended Ranger and Airborne schools, eventually joining the 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division as scout platoon leader.

Following a brief break in service when he worked in the textile industry, Shelton returned to active duty and reported for Special Forces training at Fort Bragg enroute to his next assignment with the 5th Special Forces Group in the Republic of Vietnam. Arriving in Vietnam in early 1967, he was assigned to Project Delta as a long-range reconnaissance team leader. After his year-long tour of duty, he was reas-signed to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. In January 1969, he returned again to Vietnam where he served as battalion S-2 and company commander in the 173rd Airborne Brigade, receiving a Bronze Star for valor and the Purple Heart.

Upon returning to the United States, Shelton attended the Infantry Officer Advanced Course at Fort Benning, during which he was notified that he had been selected for promo-tion to Major “below the zone.” Upon completion of the Advanced Course, he was reassigned as an instructor in the Florida phase of Ranger School at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Upon completion of that assignment, Shelton attended the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama.

Upon completing his schooling in Alabama, which includ-ed attaining a master’s degree from Auburn University while attending the staff college, Shelton was reassigned to the 2nd Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, where he served as both battalion S3 and executive officer. After Hawaii, he served a tour as an assignments officer at the Army Military Personnel Center in Washington, DC. He was selected for battalion command and reported to the 9th Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, Washington, where he assumed command of 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry “Go Devils.” After his battalion command tour, he was the Division G3, during a period when the division was the Army’s High Technology Test Bed (HTTB), evaluating new equipment and developing new tactical concepts.

Departing Fort Lewis in 1982, Shelton returned to Washington to attend the National War College. After completing that course, Shelton worked for a short period of time for the Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Personnel in the Pentagon before reporting to 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he assumed command of the 1st Brigade. Upon completion of his brigade command tour, he was reassigned as the Chief of Staff, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York.

In his illustrious military career and continued service in retirement, General

Hugh Shelton exemplifies Army Values and is the epitome of professionalism and

selfless service to the nation.


In 1987, Shelton was selected for promotion to Brigadier General, after which he served a two-year tour in the Operations Directorate of the Joint Staff in the Pentagon. This was followed by a two-year assignment as Assistant Division Commander for Operations of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), which included a seven-month deployment to Saudi Arabia for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, during which he helped direct one of the largest air assaults in history.

After the Gulf War, Shelton was promoted to Major General and returned to Fort Bragg to assume command of the 82nd Airborne Division. In 1993, he was pro-moted to Lieutenant General and took command of the XVIII Airborne Corps. In 1994, General Shelton found himself in Haiti commanding a 20,000-person Joint Task Force in Operation Uphold Democracy, charged with restoring to power Haiti’s deposed president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

In March 1996, Shelton was promoted to General and named Commander-in-Chief U.S. Special Operations Command at McDill Air Force Base, Florida.

The crowning achievement of General Hugh Shelton’s more than 30 years in the Army came on October 1, 1997, when President William Jefferson Clinton named him the fourteenth chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military post for an officer in the United States military. In this position, he would serve two, two-year terms under Presidents Clinton and Bush, oversee-ing the Kosovo intervention in 1999 and helping devise the initial military response to 9/11.

General Hugh Shelton retired in October 2001. Shortly after retiring, he experienced a personal crisis when he was injured in a fall from a ladder in his back-yard, resulting in total paralysis from the neck down. He underwent a risky life-threatening experimental proce-dure and, on June 13, 2002, 83 days after the fall, walked out of Walter Reed hospital under his own power.

On September 19, 2002, the 107th Congress bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal to the still recovering Shelton for his 38 years of faithful and dedicated service to the nation.

In retirement, General Shelton serves on the board of directors of a number of companies. Dedicated to passing on what he can to next generation, Shelton is also the Executive Director of the General Hugh Shelton Leadership Center at North Carolina State University, focused on leadership development within corporate, governmen-tal, educational, nonprofit, and youth-development organiza-tions. No doubt motivated by his own personal experience, he and his wife established the Hugh and Carolyn Military Neurotrauma Foundation, dedicated to sponsoring research in spinal cord injuries.

In his illustrious military career and continued service in retirement, General Hugh Shelton exemplifies Army Values and is the epitome of professionalism and selfless service to

the nation.“I have never known anybody who cared more…about

every single person in his command,” said Mr. Ross Perot, the special guest speaker at the Distinguished Leadership Award ceremony and a long time friend of General Shelton. “The last line of the first verse of the Star Spangled Banner is a ques-tion—‘Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave?’ My response is that as long as we have great patriots like General Shelton, the answer will be a resounding ‘Yes!’ ”


by Theodore E. Strickler, Executive Director

Since the beginning of 2011, Simons Center programs and activities have been focused on advancing the understanding

and practice of interagency coordina-tion.

In February the center partnered with the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth and the Washington, D.C. based U.S. Institute of Peace to co-host a conference in Washington, which examined interagency transition issues in Iraq and Afghanistan. Speakers at the conference included Ambassador Peter Bodde, Assistant Chief of Mission for Assistance Transition in Iraq; General Raymond Odierno, Commander, U.S. Joint Forces Command; and Dr. Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Ted Strickler, Simons Center Executive Director, moderated several of the panel discussions and Chief Operating Officer Ray Barrett contributed to the follow-on handbook which provides guidance to field commanders dealing with transi-tion issues in Afghanistan.

One of the Simons Center’s core missions is to expand the body of interagency knowledge. As part of that effort the center published three InterAgency Journals, five InterAgency Essays, and five InterAgency Papers,

all within the span of twelve months. Journal contribu-tors included General Kip Ward, Commander, U.S. Africa Command, and Ambassadors (Ret.) Thomas Miller and Edward Marks. Topics included the poten-tial of the State Department’s Office of Reconstruction and Stabilization in providing interagency teams in crisis situations, the use of ambas-sadors’ Chief of Mission authority as a model for enhanced interagency coor-dination in domestic ven-ues, and the contribution of National Guard Agribusiness Development Teams in post-disaster and post-conflict reconstruction operations.

Many feel that greater interagency cooperation to achieve a true whole-of-government effort can only be achieved with the help of congressional legislation. To that end, the Simons Center is actively supporting a bill introduced by Senator Joe Lieberman, the Interagency Personnel Rotation Act

Simons Center ReportAdvancing Interagency Cooperation

Foundation CEO Bob Ulin thanks Senator Joe Lieberman for his work in establishing legislation that seeks to improve interagency cooperation. Simons Center Executive Director Ted Strickler has been working with the staff from Lieberman’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee to craft “S.1268, The Interagency Personnel Rotation Act of 2011.”

of 2011 (S.1268), which encourages rotational assignments of government employees to other agencies. Such rotational experiences would enhance professional career development, build interagency communities of interest, promote interagency dialogue, strengthen interagency cooperation and improve sharing of information by establishing a better understanding of the missions, organization and culture of other agencies.

Several of the Simons Center’s comments on administrative and procedural issues in the original draft version of the bill were incorporated in subsequent versions, along with identification of the Simons Center as a specific example of the type of organization to be consulted in implementing the Act. The Foundation and the Simons Center sent a letter to Senator Lieberman stating their combined endorse-ment and support for this interagency initiative, and provided similar letters to Congressman Geoff Davis and Congressman John Tierney who are sponsoring similar legislation in the House.

The Simons Center plans to build on the positive response to its efforts on Capitol Hill by establishing a congressional fellowship to support interagency legislative initiatives. This fellowship is contingent on the availability of additional resources, but remains a top priority for the Center.

Elizabeth Hill is the Simons Center’s newest employee and handles the important Program Assistant portfolio. As a recent Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Saint Mary, Elizabeth provides the Simons Center with considerable computer and web-based experience in addition to her academic credentials. Her investigation of existing interagency related literature culminated in a major revision to the Simons Center’s website which now features an extensive bibliography of over 300 articles, reports and studies on interagency topics. This significant accomplishment is a major step forward in fulfilling the Simons Center’s mission to create a body of interagency knowledge.

The Simons Center is continually looking for talented and enthusiastic individuals interested in helping to advance the understanding and practice of interagency cooperation. To do this, it is build-ing partnerships with local universities to establish student internship programs to provide qualified stu-dents an opportunity to apply their academic training in support of the Simon Center’s programs and activi-ties. The Center’s first intern is from Kansas State University and is developing an outline and research-ing topics for an interagency textbook. This is the initial step in what is planned to be an introductory textbook providing both the historical and contempo-rary context for understanding and dealing with the complexities of interagency cooperation.

CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS - 17 www.cgscf.org

the CGSC Foundation hosted its first golf tournament Sept. 6, at the Trails West Golf Course on Fort Leavenworth. To kick off the

day, Foundation Chairman Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Robert Arter made a tandem parachute jump onto the driving range of the golf course. Arter’s jump not only served as the kickoff for the golf tournament, but was also in celebration of his 82nd birthday the next day.

The Ranger Group, LLC, and Armed Forces Bank sponsored the jump. The Ranger Group President/CEO Mark “Ranger” Jones, the vice president for development for the CGSC Foundation, has personally logged more than 4,000 parachute jumps in his former military career and employs a parachute demonstration team as part of his company’s outreach program. Ranger Group Parachute Team Captain Mike Elliot, a former U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier, was Arter’s lead in the tandem jump.

Arter linked up with Elliot at the Kansas City airport to conduct pre-jump training early in the morning of Sept. 6, and at 10 a.m., Arter, strapped in with Elliot, put his “knees in the breeze.” A throng of well-wishers crowded the edges of the drop zone on the driving range craning their necks to catch the first glimpse of Arter’s opening parachute.

The tandem jump went without flaw. Upon touching down, Arter was immediately surrounded by friends and family. Even Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen, Jr., the Commandant of the Command and General Staff College. was on hand to congratulate him.

“As other people who have experienced [jumping] have commented,” said Arter when asked what he thought of the jump, “I think they’ve used the term thrilling, awesome and all of that sort of thing.”

After the parachute demonstration ended, Lt. Gen. Caslen addressed the assembled golfers before the start of the tournament and thanked the Foundation and its trustees for their support of the College.

CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS - 25www.cgscfoundation.org

Each year, hundreds of students from around the U.S. military and partner nations attend the United States Army Command

and General Staff College’s Intermediate Level Education and the School of Advanced Military Studies. The goal for the Command and General Staff College is to properly educate the future “Iron Majors” of the U.S. Army, as well as our sister services, international and interagency partners. However, since March 2009, becoming an “Iron Major” has taken on a completely new meaning for a group of students.

Fort Leavenworth is home to “Iron Major CrossFit,” one of the more than 58 non-profit military affiliates of “CrossFit,” a commercial core exercise and conditioning program. With more than 2,500 commercial affiliates world-wide, CrossFit has taken the fitness world by storm in recent years.

Originally created in 1995 by renowned fitness coach Greg Glassman, CrossFit is an all-encompassing, inclu-sive fitness regimen that, by design, does not specialize in any one particu-lar fitness domain. CrossFit is not the traditional Army physical fitness train-ing. CrossFit focuses on functional fit-ness movements, combing a constantly varied mix of metabolic conditioning, weightlifting and gymnastics, geared around universal motor recruitment pat-terns. CrossFit conditions athletes to be ready to meet any physical demand at any time. In true Clausewitzian fashion, Iron Major CrossFit is helping prepare the future leaders of our military to be physically ready for the unknown and unknowable.

Using the CrossFit methodology of “constantly varied, functional move-ments at high intensity” Iron Major CrossFit rapidly improves the fitness and conditioning levels of officers that

traditional Army physical training can-not match. A 2010 study conducted by three ILE students, as part of the CGSC curriculum, demonstrated a 20% increase in physical work capacity and power output of the test subjects in less than eight weeks. Maj. Greg McLean, a recent ILE graduate and current SAMS student, is but one more recent example. In less than six months, Maj. McLean lost over 28 pounds and 6 inches of body fat, with the APFT scores to prove it.

“Iron Major CrossFit changed my life,” says McLean. “I am no longer intimidated about the possibility of mov-ing large amounts of weight, doing pull-ups or any other unknown task I may need to accomplish for combat.”

Many participants believe that the team atmosphere of Iron Major CrossFit is perhaps its most attractive aspect. The greater CrossFit community prides itself in mutual accountability among the athletes. Maj. James Davis of the Australian Army, who is one of the Iron Major CrossFit coaches, believes this is why Iron Major CrossFit is so success-

ful on Fort Leavenworth. “Armies fight in teams, so they should train in teams,” said Davis. “CGSC shouldn’t be an exception to this. Iron Major CrossFit is a team that executes physical training together.”

As Iron Major athletes re-enter the operational force, they do not stop lead-ing change in fitness. As the Army looks to adopt a functional fitness approach to physical readiness, the Command and General Staff College recognizes the value of Iron Major CrossFit producing leaders that become the agents of change for the new physical fitness and readi-ness programs in the Army.

Being part of something bigger than oneself as a member of a team is what keeps many officers of the various ser-vices in uniform. Many officers grew up playing team sports and Iron Major CrossFit is a unique opportunity to renew that competitive athletic spirit while focusing on individual fitness improvement. For many of the new Iron Majors, it is being a part of this team that is the best part of their “best year.”

In 1921, my father received orders assigning him to the U.S. 15th Infantry which was based in Tientsin on the South China Sea, 90 miles from Peking. A few months after Capt. Cushman and his bride joined it, I was born

into that regiment.Since the mid-19th century European powers had been

in China with extraterritorial concessions wrung from the weak Manchu dynasty. The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 had brought an eight-nation allied force into Peking to restore Manchu rule. The Boxer Protocols, signed by the Chinese and by Western powers and Japan, provided for foreign contingents to be stationed, among other places, in Tientsin.

A decade later the Chinese revolution led by Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Empire; China, still weak, was now a republic. Warlords, each with their own armies, fought each other for power. As chaos interfered with commerce, for-eign contingents were reinforced. In 1912 the 15th Infantry Regiment, leaving one battalion behind in the Philippines,

deployed from Fort Douglas, Utah, to Tientsin.Tientsin in the 1920s, population 1 million, was a thriving

port. With its British, French, Italian, and Japanese conces-sions, it was an international city with a Sikh police force. There was no American territorial concession; American Forces in China, commanded by a brigadier general, had its headquarters in a compound in the British sector. Its 15th Infantry was in barracks taken over from Germany in the first World War.

Regimental life, including its off-duty and social aspects, made China in those days a very attractive assignment. Life was good for all ranks. The regiment’s families lived in comfortable homes in the Western quarter. Each had a nurse (amah) for their young child or children, a cook, a number one boy, and possibly a rickshaw driver -- all for a pittance at the rate of exchange for American dollars. At three-month intervals Army transports brought in replace-ments, took away those returning to the States, and deliv-

ered potatoes and other food supplies. Game,fowl, and eggs were plentiful locally.

I have been in touch with Frank Eaton, a soldier in the 15th Infantry from 1932-33. He relates:

“I lived in a barracks upstairs in a six man room. On the first floor of these barracks there were 48-man rooms. Each soldier had an army cot, a footlocker, and a shelf by his cot under which was a long pole on which he could hang his uniforms. As soon as we arrived in China wearing uni-forms with a high choke collar and wrap leggings, we were measured for new-style uniforms with regular pants and a blouse with an open collar with which we wore a white shirt and black tie and low-quarter shoes. For 75 cents a month out of our $21 pay, we had Chinese men in the barracks who did all kinds of things for us to include sweeping and mopping our floors, cleaning our washrooms and latrines, making our beds, doing our laundry, pressing our uniforms, shining our shoes, polishing our leather and brass. We were supposed to clean our own rifles, but they often did that for us too.

“The 75 cents also covered a barber shop where we could get a shave every morning and a haircut once a week. There was no reveille formation. The work day began with break-fast, and after that a formation for drill call, when there were classes, or a road march. The afternoons were for various details, or athletics. Each company had teams – baseball, football – and there were regimental teams that competed with teams from other-country’s troops.

“Our mess hall was in the basement, with Chinese doing all the KP and much of the cooking. The troops ate very well. It was the life of Riley for a soldier.”

In the early 1920s warlords ruled various regions of China, collecting taxes, raising armies, and competing for power. Two war-lords became allies defending against a third, in a full-scale civil war. An uneasy truce in late 1924 began a period in which all three warlords maneuvered their forces to gain advantage.

This competition often made it necessary for the units of the 15th Infantry to patrol, deploy outguards, and to accompany railway trains to protect American interests. Fortunately, the 15th Infantry soldiers were never required to fire a shot; in every confrontation the warlord’s force, while occasionally threatening, backed away.

Beginning in 1926, the mission of the 15th Infantry as protector of American interests became increasingly untenable, as Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Tse-tung and then the Japanese entered the contest. Japan eventually took over all of Manchuria and controlled areas near Peking and Tientsin.

On July 7, 1937, Japanese troops attacked the Chinese defending the Marco Polo bridge just

outside of Peking. The Japanese marched into Peking July 28; Tientsin fell the next day, and Shanghai in November. It was time for the 15th Infantry to leave China, which it did March 2, 1938, leaving its compound in the hands of U.S. Marines from the Peking legation and boarding the U.S. Army Transport Grant, bound for Fort Lewis, Washington.

On the grass near the officers club at Fort Benning, Georgia, there stands a stone gateway of white Chinese marble. Chinese citizens from Tientsin’s surrounding towns and villages had presented it to the regiment in April 1925, after a truce had ended the civil war. When the regiment reported to Fort Lewis, its commander, Col. Joseph A. McAndrew, presented the gateway to the Infantry School and had it shipped.

An engraved inscription says that it was intended as “A Remembrance of the Golden Deeds done by Officers and men of the United States Army Forces in China during the Civil Strife, 1924.” The text ends with a poem etched in Chinese characters, together with an English translation:

The sons of Uncle Sam so gallant in their deedDay and night so strict events took greatest heedAnd through their strenuous effort and the sufferingPeace among us all was kept and maintained…and the villagers wished to accord ‘Honor to those to

whom honor is due.’ ”

Agents of Innovation: The General Board and the Design of the Fleet That Defeated the Japanese Navyby John T. Kuehn; 256 pages; two figures; map; four tables; index; Naval Institute Press, 2008. Available on amazon.com- $25.00.

Agents of Innovation examines the influence of the General Board of the U.S. Navy as an agent of innovation in the years between the world wars. A formal body established by the secretary of the Navy, the General Board served as the organizational nexus for the interaction between fleet design and the naval limitations imposed on the Navy by treaty. Particularly important, Kuehn argues, was the Board’s role in implementing the Washington Naval Treaty, which limited naval armaments after 1922. Kuehn explains that the leadership of the Navy at large and the General Board in particular felt themselves especially constrained by Article XIX of the Washington Naval Treaty, which implemented a status quo on naval fortifications in the western Pacific.

John T. Kuehn is a former naval aviator who retired as a commander from the U.S. Navy in 2004. He holds a Ph.D. in military history from Kansas State University and teaches at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, KS.

Stonewall Jackson: A Biographyby Ethan S. Rafuse; 185 pages; black-and-white photos/art; index; Greenwood Biographies, 1968. Available on ama-zon.com and barnesandnoble.com - $35.00.

Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was one of the greatest generals of the Civil War and remains an iconic figure of American history. Stonewall Jackson: A Biography offers a complete yet concise account of Jackson’s life and career, illuminating the forces and events that shaped both.

The study is organized chronologically, beginning with Jackson’s hardscrabble upbringing in the mountains of west-ern Virginia. It follows him through the experiences that brought him to 1861, when he won the nickname “Stonewall” on the battlefield of the first great battle of the Civil War, and then traces his military career and role in the Confederate victories of 1861-1863. Throughout, the biography never loses sight of the man himself. Readers will understand both Jackson’s impact on military history and the qualities that enabled him to achieve personal satisfaction and fame as one of history’s great soldiers.

Ethan S. Rafuse is a professor military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He is the author of several books, including “A Single Grand Victory: The First Campaign and Battle of Manassas”; “McClellan’s War: The Failure of Moderation in the Struggle for the Union”; and “Robert E. Lee and the Fall of the Confederacy, 1863-1865.”

Women on Your Team: A Man’s Guide to Leading Womenby Col. Jo B. Rusin, U.S. Army, Ret.; 103 pages- paperback only; Mentor Enterprises, Inc., 2011. Available on amazon.com (search author’s name) and gipubs.com - $17.00.

Since the Revolutionary War, women have helped defend their nation and aid the front lines. However, the military is still very much a man’s world with several misconceptions of the female Soldier. In a gender-integrated fighting force, one must throw out the common stereotypes of gender roles if one is to lead effectively.

Colonel Jo B. Rusin, U.S. Army (Ret.), explores how the female Soldier differs from her male counterparts, and ana-lyzes the conflicts that are often experienced between them.

Colonel Jo B. Rusin, U.S. Army (Ret.), served nearly 25 years in the U.S. Army, commanding troop units at the com-pany, battalion and brigade level, as well as serving in staff positions at every level. She has the unique distinction of having served on five Department of the Army level promotion selection boards, for both officer and enlisted ranks for the active and reserve components. Rusin is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the Air War College.

America’s School for War: Fort Leavenworth, Officer Education and Victory in World War IIby Peter J. Schifferle; 295 pages; black-and-white photos; index; University Press of Kansas, 2010. Available on ama-zon.com and barnesandnoble.com - $33.00.

When the United States entered World War II, it took more than industrial might to transform its tiny army--smaller than even Portugal’s--into an overseas fighting force of more than eight and a half million. Peter Schifferle contends that the determination of American army officers to be prepared for the next big war was an essential component in America’s ultimate triumph over its adversaries. Crucial to that preparation were the army schools at Fort Leavenworth.

Well crafted and insightful, Schifferle’s meticulously researched study shows how and why the Fort Leavenworth experience was instrumental in producing that impressive contingent of military officers who led the U.S. Army to final victory in World War II. By the end of the book, the attentive reader will also fully comprehend why the military profes-sionals at Fort Leavenworth have come to think of it as the “Intellectual Center of the Army.”

Peter J. Schifferle is director of the Advanced Operational Art Studies Fellowship at he the School of Advanced Military Studies, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

JAGC-Off: A Politically Incorrect Memoir of the Real Judge Advocate General’s Corpsby Jonathan P. Tomes; 218 pages; Veterans Press, Inc., 2010. Available on veteranspress.com (paperback); amazon.com (paperback and Kindle versions); and barnesandnoble.com (Nook format) - $20.00 (paperback) and $10.00 (Kindle and Nook). Limited copies also available in the CGSC Foundation Gift Shop.

Lt. Col. Jonathan P. Tomes, U.S. Army, Ret., was a former Infantry officer in Vietnam and Military Intelligence officer in West Germany before going to law school and becoming an Army JAGC officer. JAGC-Off, written in a style similar to that of John Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey stories, tells readers how the real JAG Corps was. Each chapter is a fictionalized court-martial or administrative discharge board based on real cases or composites of case vignettes. Set in the past 40 years or so, most chapters focus on particular court-martial or military administrative discharge board the way that Rumpole chapters focus on his trials.

Jonathan P. Tomes is a retired U.S. Army JAG Corps officer. Before he was a JAG officer he was an Infantry platoon leader in Vietnam and then a Military Intelligence officer in West Germany. He received the Silver Star and Combat Infantryman’s Badge and Legion of Merit among other awards. He was a military prosecutor, a military defense coun-sel and a military judge.

Witness to History: Reflections of a Cold War SoldierBy Robert R. Ulin; 212 pages; black-and-white photos/maps; AuthorHouse, 2011.

Witness to History: Reflections of a Cold War Soldier is retired Col. Robert Ulin’s first person account of his 33-year military career from private to colonel during a particularly difficult time for the U.S. Army.

While in Belgium he served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, the American Embassy and finally NATO headquarters. Col.

Abandoning Vietnam: How America Left and South Vietnam Lost Its Warby James H. Willbanks; 377 pages; black-and-white photos; maps; charts; tables; index; University Press of Kansas, 2004. Available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com - $40.00.

Drawing upon both archival research and his own military experiences in Vietnam, Willbanks focuses on military operations from 1969 through 1975. He contends that “Vietnamization” was a potentially viable plan that was begun years too late. Nevertheless some progress was made and the South Vietnamese, with the aid of U.S. advisers and American airpower, held off the North Vietnamese during their massive offensive in 1972. However, the Paris Peace Accords, which left NVA troops in the south, and the subsequent loss of U.S. military aid negated any gains produced through Vietnamization. These factors coupled with corruption throughout President Thieu’s government and a glar-ing lack of senior military leadership within the South Vietnamese armed forces ultimately led to the demise of South Vietnam.

A mere two years after the last American combat troops had departed, North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon, overwhelming a poorly trained, disastrously led, and corrupt South Vietnamese military. But those two years had pro-vided Nixon with the “decent interval” he desperately needed to proclaim that “peace with honor” had been achieved. Willbanks digs beneath that illusion to reveal the real story of South Vietnam’s fall.

James H. Willbanks, Ph.D., is the General of the Army George C. Marshall Chair of Military History and Director, Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

What do you get when you combine equal parts creativity, experience, timeliness, and intelli-

gence? Well, if you’re looking for these in video and multimedia production, you’ll get Metro Productions. With decades of experience and a dedicated staff of over 35 full time employees including writers, producers, HD vid-eographers, editors, graphic artists, and more, Metro is a well-oiled machine of a video company. The company was started in Williamsburg, Virginia over 30 years ago, and since then has grown to three locations in Virginia: Richmond, Hampton, and Alexandria. Our technology has also grown: in the last year, Metro began working heav-ily with stereoscopic 3D production, and we recently completed 3D videos for both the U.S. Army TRADOC and Northrop Grumman. But although we are continually expanding and diver-sifying Metro’s visual media offering, we remain a small business, dedicated to exceeding the expectations of our clients. Among those clients, you’ll find the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, USCG, and many other DoD and military cus-tomers.

Metro has a long history of serving the U.S. military, especially the Army, in varied ways. As a video and multi-media company, we’ve been creating videos, graphics, and other forms of visual media for branches of the mili-tary for the past 20 years. Currently, we’re working on several projects for the Army Exhibit at the Association of the United States Army’s Annual Meeting, a task Metro has undertaken and completed successfully many times before. This is one of the projects that remains closest to our heart, as our CEO

and President, Raymond W. Walsh, is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. Ray isn’t Metro’s only veteran, though: we have others that have served as well, both in the Army and the U.S. Air Force. With so much history and experience with the U.S. military, it’s no surprise that Metro chooses to focus its efforts on defense-related projects.

While many of our military and defense videos focus on training, OPSEC, and marketing, Metro also has a soft spot for our veterans. We’ve completed videos for VA hospitals in South Carolina and Washington, D.C., encouraging veterans to receive the care they deserve. We also work with programs that provide aid to veter-ans in need, such as the UCLA-based Operation Mend, which serves wound-ed warriors. These projects remind us

of the debt owed to those who serve. Metro Productions’ greatest assets

are our clients, employees and technol-ogy. We employ the best talent full time, ensuring optimal workflow and creativity in our projects. Like our military clients, we choose to remain at the forefront of our technology, and are always looking towards the future.

Metro is proud to be a partner of the U.S. military and the CGSC Foundation. According to CEO Ray Walsh, “Metro is committed to sup-porting the CGSC Foundation’s mis-sion to the Command and General Staff College. Its efforts in the area of interoperability, leader development and research activities will enhance the students’ experience and make them more effective on the battlefields of the 21st century.
