	Army: Command failures
		Lloyd R. Fredendall, one of America's first heroes of World War II-who ended up in obscurity-is just such an example.
		Lloyd Ralston Fredendall was born on December 28, 1883, in Cheyenne, Wyo. His father, Ira Livingston Fredendall, was a settler from New York who became sheriff of Laramie before receiving a commission in the Quartermaster Corps during the Spanish-American War.
		Described by a classmate as "a very soldierly little fellow, but extremely goaty in mathematics," Lloyd performed so poorly in trigonometry and analytic geometry and behaved so badly that he was dismissed after just one semester.

	THE NEWS BLOG
		Fredendall failed to realize that his job was not only to wage war, but also to fight as part of a coalition of nations.
		Second, he violated several basic principles of command embodied in American doctrine, the most important of which is that once the commander has assigned a mission, he does not interfere with his subordinates and allows them full authority-and responsibility-to complete it.
		Fredendall's relationship with Orlando Ward, a man who continued to serve him loyally and honorably in spite of his awful treatment, should be examined carefully by every student of war.

		An excellent trainer and capable staff officer, Fredendall was hand selected by Marshall to command in the upcoming invasion.
		Fredendall outranked Eisenhower in the pre–war Army, but he seems eager to command troops, nevertheless.
		Fredendall also has a reputation for being Anglophobic; however, he seems to be keeping this antipathy in check in deferrence to Eisenhower.

		Lloyd Fredendall as an example of how NOT to operate.
		Fredendall attempted to micro-manage the defense of the pass from an amazingly elaborate bunker (one that embarrassed most of the American brass, including Eisenhower, that visited it) 80-100 miles away, without visiting the expected battle field.
		Usual procedure is for a commander to give his subordinate a mission and have him determine how to accomplish it.

		When the Germans attacked, Fredendall and his pals were ready to abandon the bunker.
		Ike was able to evade a lot of blame because it was the US Army's first time at bat, Fredendall was a prime failure, and Patton and Ike redeemed the situation.

	Steven L. Ossad Military Historian & Leadership Consultant - Command Failures: Lessons Learned from Lloyd R. ...
		Creator of the modern American Rangers, Darby led his men to great victories and a catastrophic defeat, but was always in the thick of the action.
		Regarding Steven L. Ossad's excellent article "Command Failures: Lessons Learned from Lloyd R. Fredendall," (March) I would suggest that it be made required reading for all current cadets and midshipmen at our service academies for what not to do.
		In addition, I think the human traits of backbiting, jealousies, smallmindedness and general politics found in all walks of life-not just soldiering-played a part in his career and still do today in others.
