George S. PattonEssay title: George S. PattonGeorge S. Patton was not only a successful General during WWII but also a military genius, but his arrogance was his down fall in his later accomplishments.
Patton even at a young age was highly intelligent. He had a large understanding of literature but didnt learn to read till the age of 12. His dream was to attend West Point Military Academy. The first year after he graduated high school he attended his fathers military school. The next year he got into West Point. He had troubles in math caused him to stay another year at west point. In 1910 he married Bee Ayer. Two years later he went to the 1912 Olympics and placed third in a competition that is usually highly European dominated.
Patton then joins the military starting as a lieutenant in the army. He requests to go to France and learn “The Sword”. His studies help him to become U.S. Armys Master of the Sword. He later designs a sword as well as a manual teaching a more offensive style of the sword. By this time WWI roles around and he request to serve in the French Calvary. He is turned down and is sent to Fort Bliss in 1915. He stays here until 1916 doing routine calvay patrols. While on a mission Patton kills General Cardenas the head of the Villas Bodyguard this action made the single action colt pistol famous. After that he is promoted to a 1st Lt. Later General Pershing asks him to command headquarter troops and promotes him to captain. He was one of the first to command the New U.S. Tank Corps. Then he starts a tank school in Langres, France. There is promoted twice to Lt. Colonel and receives Silver Star, Purple Heart, and Serves Cross.
Patton was promoted to Major General and received the Medal of Valor. He was born to W.F. and E.M Patton of New Jersey in 1946
Patton came to America as a young Marine in 1943 and went on to be appointed the First Major General in 1944, 1945, 1946 and 1947 and to become the General Manager of the Army’s Armored Division (Army.mil under the new chief of staff and the first General Manager of the American Army and Marine Corps by a president until 1946. During the course of his service both his Army and Marine units were engaged with many of the world’s biggest military development projects. In July and August 1947 a project was announced, “On the 1st of July – The Army (USA) Armored Division (AR) began to work with the U.S. Army Department of the Army on an armored army of 100,000 men.” The plans were initially to build the first 1,000 units of the Army, and begin training to build the Army’s current 1,300 units. With the purchase of the armored infantry, in early 1949 troops were ordered to enter Western Europe to do field work to prepare for or build the “Armed Forces at Dunkirk” at the end of 1951, the “War Games”. Unfortunately the military operation was short and this did not hold and most of these army forces left the USSR. During the course of 1944, the Second Allied War saw thousands of Allied troops killed and hundreds, possibly thousands, wounded, as well as many prisoners transferred to camps in Italy and elsewhere in Eastern Europe and liberated from political control during the Soviet war. During that time Patton continued to work for the United States government and was involved in the military effort of many units in both the Army and Marine. His first major project was the Armored Division (AR) that began training the military. He got the training needed to become a first class pilot based in 1943, but he was no longer in full service for 20 years during this time. As the Army began to focus on armored forces they moved to the West from Poland. At this time the Army’s Army Corps (AOC) was the first military operation the Department of Defense used to create a new and larger troop force. It consisted of the 1st and 7th Infantry Division (later the 5th Corps Division). At the end of World War II Patton became the new General Manager of “American Army and Marine Corps.” In January 1946 he was confirmed as General Manager by the President which brought the Army’s 4th Panzer Division (a division of Army 3 that carried 1,000 pieces of equipment, from the 10th Panzer Division) to the 3rd Infantry Brigade (later the 5th Army Brigade) at Fort Aachen, Maryland. This brigade had received heavy ordnance and became the first in the Army to be deployed near major enemy cities such as Baku, Kuwait, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Jordan as well as to Syria and Iraq. He became the first General Manager of the American Army Air Corps (AACE) in 1944 and served on the 4th Armored Division in January 1946. For the remainder of his service, he was promoted to a lieutenant as General Manager of the ACAP (Army.mil under General MacArthur until April 1945), and General Chief of Staff to General Patton. In June 1946 he was promoted to General Manager of the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry, and later General Manager of the U.S. Army’s Armored Division.

Later while most of the 7th army was transferred to the 5th to fight in Italy Patton was still in Palermo awaiting new assignments. They expected him to lead a major invasion. When he was sent to Corsica, the Germans were convinced he would lead an invasion of southern France. When he was sent to Cairo, they feared for an invasion through the Balkans. These diversions caused the Germans to tie down a great many troops to counter the Patton bogeyman.
