  Pershing's Biography
Pershing was mentioned in the report of LTC T. Baldwin, commander of the 10th Cavalry, to the War Department for his untiring energy, faithfulness, and gallantry.
Pershing was not an "overnight springer." Having previously commanded four brigade-sized expeditions in hostile territory, he respected the supply and administration "which come before all glory and without which there is no military diversion of fighting a war." Furthermore, Pershing had spent many years training men.
Pershing was one of the leaders in the movement for the establishment of a Supreme Commander, as opposed to a Supreme War Council.

 The American Experience | MacArthur | People & Events | General John J. Pershing (1860-1948)
Pershing's methods amounted to a caricature of leadership and a living definition of the martinet." Under different circumstances, however, the same iron will and force of personality would propel him to a remarkable career.

What MacArthur failed to realize -- but thankfully Pershing did not -- was that this was a new type of war, the first fully mechanized global war in history, and it required a new kind of soldier.
