The
World's Greatest Military Commanders  |
Alexander
the
Great |
 |
Julius
Caesar |
Gaius Julius Caesar, who would become the first Emperor of Rome, was born on 13 July, 100 B.C.E. He was born at a chaotic time in Roman history, brought about largely by the rapid expansion of the Roman Empire. The first 20 years of Caesar's life were typified by rivalries between the Senate and the Assembly. The electoral system in Rome was also corrupt, but Julius set out to change that. |

Robert
E. Lee |
(1807-1870), American soldier, general in the Confederate States army, was the youngest son of major-general Henry Lee, called " Light Horse Harry." He was born at Stratford, Westmoreland county, Virginia, on the 19th of January 1807, and entered West Point in 1825. Graduating four years later second in his class, he was given a commission in the U.S. Engineer Corps. In 1831 he married Mary, daughter of G. W. P. Custis, the adopted son of Washington and the grandson of Mrs. Washington. In 1836 he became first lieutenant, and in 1838 captain. In this rank he took part in the Mexican War |
Adolf
Hitler This shows the extent of the german advancement towards controlling all of europe. |

George
S. Patton  |
General George S. Patton, Jr. was commander of the American Third Army in Europe during WWII. According to the German High Command, General Patton was the Allies’ "most modern general" and the "best commander of armored and infantry troops." Field Marshal Von Rundstedt simply called him the "best." |
Joseph
Stalin |
Joseph Stalin was one of the most infamous leaders of all time. His ruthless policies and god-like status earned the attention and fear of the entire world. As the successor to Vladimir Lenin, Stalin would become one of the first totalitarian rulers. He had the power to control every aspect of life in the Soviet Union, and he took advantage of that power. He clearly had no regard for the lives of his people, evident in his purges and collectivization policies. Stalin did, however, contribute to his nation in a way that would bring the Soviet Union into modern times. He established a recognized power. |
Erwin
Rommel |
Field Marshal Rommel is famous for his blitzkrieg tactics in France and the at Gazala, whilst commanding the Africa Corps where his tactical awareness and his natural flair in mobile warfare, turned possible defeat into a stunning victory. He has been crowned as a tactical genius by history, and there is certainly no doubt as to his ability when his battles are analyzed, but can it be said that he was particularly talented to the extent where it made his presence in Africa a decisive factor in the Axis powers favor. I believe he was, but it also worth mentioning that his presence did not effect the outcome of the Desert War because supplies and Hitler's interference reduced his ability to defeat the Allies in North Africa. There is no doubt in my mind that Rommel, if supplied more effectively and not had Hitler interfering, he would have defeated the Eighth Army well before Montgomery's arrival. Therefore Field Marshal Montgomery had the potential to directly effect the outcome of the North African Campaign in the Axis favor, but didn't because of other factors that restrained him. |
Dwight D. Eisenhower |
In our own times, perhaps no man better exemplifies this proposition than Dwight David Eisenhower, General of the Army and the thirty-fourth President of the United States. Today, the name Eisenhower is synonymous with dynamic leadership in a complex international environment. But in 1941, this remarkable soldier was nearing the end of an undistinguished military career that had afforded him few opportunities to demonstrate his leadership. Yet, within three years and under the intense pressure of a global war, he rose to become Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe. The leadership skills that won the great land campaigns of the twentieth century did not come about overnight. They were the product of years of development, development that took place in the small peacetime Army of the 1920s and 30s. As we shape the force for the future, that example should serve as a source of inspiration for professionals throughout our ranks. |
