He rose through the [[United States Army]] to become [[Chief of Staff of the United States Army|Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army]] under presidents [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] and [[Harry S. Truman]], then served as [[United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State]] and [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] under Truman.{{sfn|Historical Office}} [[Winston Churchill]] lauded Marshall as the "organizer of victory" for his leadership of the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] victory in [[World War II]]. During the subsequent year, he attempted but failed to avoid the impending continuation of the [[Chinese Civil War]]. As Secretary of State, Marshall advocated for a U.S. economic and political commitment to post-war European recovery, including the [[Marshall Plan]] that bore his name. In recognition of this work, he was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 1953, the only Army general ever to receive the honor.{{sfn|CNN: George C. Marshall}} Born in Uniontown, [[Pennsylvania]], Marshall graduated from the [[Virginia Military Institute]] (VMI) in 1901. He received his commission as a [[Second lieutenant (United States)|second lieutenant]] of Infantry in February 1902 and immediately went to the Philippines. He served in the United States and overseas in positions of increasing rank, including platoon leader and company commander in the Philippines during the [[Philippine–American War]]. He was the top-ranked of the five Honor Graduates of his [[United States Army Command and General Staff College|Infantry-Cavalry School Course]] in 1907 and graduated first in his 1908 [[United States Army War College|Army Staff College]] class.{{sfn|George Catlett Marshall Timeline}} In 1916 Marshall was assigned as [[aide-de-camp]] to [[J. Franklin Bell]], the commander of the [[Department of the West|Western Department]]. After the nation entered the [[First World War]] in 1917, Marshall served with Bell, who commanded the [[Department of the East]]. He was assigned to the staff of the [[1st Infantry Division (United States)|1st Division]]; he assisted with the organization's mobilization and training in the United States, as well as planning of its combat operations in [[France]].{{sfn|George Catlett Marshall Timeline}} Subsequently assigned to the staff of the [[American Expeditionary Forces]] headquarters, he was a key planner of American operations, including the [[Meuse-Argonne Offensive]]. Following his service in [[World War I]], Marshall became an aide-de-camp to [[Chief of Staff of the United States Army|Army chief of staff]] [[John J. Pershing]]. Marshall later served on the Army staff, was the executive officer of the [[15th Infantry Regiment (United States)|15th Infantry Regiment]] in China and was an instructor at the [[United States Army War College|Army War College]]. In 1927, he became assistant commandant of the Army's [[United States Army Infantry School|Infantry School]], where he modernized command and staff processes, which proved to be of major benefit during [[World War II]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Smith |first=Truman |editor-last=Hessen |editor-first=Robert |date=1984 |title=Berlin Alert: The Memoirs and Reports of Truman Smith |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fw6ZlJtxz2QC&pg=PA21 |location=Stanford, CA |publisher=Hoover Institution Press |pages=21–22 |isbn=978-0-8179-7891-4 |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref> In 1932 and 1933, he commanded the [[8th Infantry Regiment (United States)|8th Infantry Regiment]] and [[Tybee Island, Georgia|Fort Screven]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. Marshall commanded 5th Brigade, [[3rd Infantry Division (United States)|3rd Infantry Division]] and [[Vancouver Barracks]] from 1936 to 1938; he received promotion to [[Brigadier general (United States)|brigadier general]]. During this command, Marshall was also responsible for 35 [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] (CCC) camps in Oregon and Southern Washington. In July 1938, Marshall was assigned to the War Plans Division on the War Department staff; he later became the Army's [[Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Army|deputy chief of staff]]. When Chief of Staff [[Malin Craig]] retired in 1939, Marshall assumed the role of Chief of Staff in an acting capacity before his appointment to the position, which he held until the war's end in 1945.<ref>{{cite book |last=Underwood |first=Jeffery S. |date=1991 |title=The Wings of Democracy: The Influence of Air Power on the Roosevelt Administration, 1933-1941 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7BOe6NR-9BsC&pg=PA192 |location=College Station, TX |publisher=Texas A&M University Press |pages=191–192 |isbn=978-0-8909-6388-3 |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref> As the U.S. Army's Chief of Staff, Marshall worked closely with Secretary of War [[Henry L. Stimson]] to organize the largest military expansion in U.S. history, and was ultimately promoted to [[five-star rank]] as [[General of the Army (United States)#World War II era|General of the Army]]. Marshall coordinated Allied operations in Europe and the Pacific until the end of the war. In addition to accolades from [[Winston Churchill]] and other Allied leaders, ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine named Marshall its [[Time Magazine Person of the Year|Man of the Year]] for 1943 and 1947.{{sfn|Person of Year Photo|2006}} Marshall retired from active service in 1945, but remained on active duty, as required for holders of five-star rank.{{sfn|Wedemeyer}} From 15 December 1945 to January 1947, Marshall served as a special envoy to China in an unsuccessful effort to negotiate a coalition government between the [[Kuomintang|Nationalists]] of [[Chiang Kai-shek]] and the [[Communist Party of China|Communists]] of [[Mao Zedong]]. As [[United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State]] from 1947 to 1949, Marshall advocated rebuilding Europe, a program that became known as the [[Marshall Plan]], and which led to his being awarded the 1953 [[Nobel Peace Prize]].{{sfn|Del Testa|Lemoine|Strickland|2001|p=120}} After resigning as Secretary of State, Marshall served as chairman of the [[American Battle Monuments Commission]]{{sfn|Marshall Is Named Head|1949|p=6}} and president of the [[American National Red Cross]]. As [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] at the start of the [[Korean War]], Marshall worked to restore the military's confidence and morale after the end of its post-World War II demobilization and then its initial buildup for combat in Korea and operations during the [[Cold War]]. Resigning as Defense Secretary, Marshall retired to his home in [[Virginia]].

They were also deficient "in training, staff work, and logistical problems. More than half of its soldiers were new recruits.

With the exception of airborne forces, Marshall approved McNair's concept of an abbreviated training schedule for men entering Army land forces training, particularly in regard to basic infantry skills, weapons proficiency, and combat tactics.{{sfn|Ambrose|1997|pp=271–84}}{{sfn|Keast|1945}} At the time, most U.S. commanders at lower levels had little or no combat experience of any kind.

The new men were often not even proficient in the use of their own weapons, and once in combat, could not receive enough practical instruction from veterans before being killed or wounded, sometimes within the first few days.{{sfn|Keast|1945}}{{sfn|Henry|2001 |pp= 12–14}}{{sfn|Ambrose|1997|pp=271–84}} Under such conditions, many soldiers suffered a crippling loss of morale, while veterans were kept at the front until they were killed, wounded, or incapacitated by battle fatigue or illness.

He was instrumental in advancing the careers of the highly capable generals such as [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]], [[Omar Bradley]], [[George S. Patton]], [[Walter Krueger]] and [[Mark W. Clark]]. A notable exception was his recommendation of the swaggering [[Lloyd Fredendall]] to Eisenhower for a major command in the American invasion of North Africa during Operation Torch. Marshall was especially fond of Fredendall, describing him as "one of the best" and remarking in a staff meeting when his name was mentioned, "I like that man; you can see determination all over his face." Eisenhower duly picked him to command the 39,000-man Central Task Force (the largest of three) in Operation Torch.

His push for unity of command, in particular through the [[Combined Chiefs of Staff]] and the [[American-British-Dutch-Australian Command]], met with resistance from the [[British Armed Forces]] under [[Alan Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke|Alan Brooke]] because the scheme would allow the United States to dominate the Western Allied war effort, but the British government ultimately approved.{{Sfn|Roberts|2009|p=66-81}} He initially scheduled [[Operation Overlord]] for 1 April 1943, but met with strong opposition from Winston Churchill, who convinced Roosevelt to commit troops to [[Allied invasion of Sicily|Operation Husky]] for the invasion of [[Italy]].{{sfn|D-Day Year Too Late?|2019}} Marshall and his advisors also opposed the [[Operation Torch|Allied invasion of French North Africa]] after it became clear that [[Vichy France]] would offer resistance, concerns over an Axis intervention through [[Francoist Spain]] and [[Gibraltar]], and suspicions that the operation was intended to defend European colonial territory with little strategic value to the war.<ref>{{Harvp|Roberts|2009|p=70-84}}</ref> [[File:Joseph Stalin & Generals, Tehran Conference.jpg|thumb|Marshall with [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Vyacheslav Molotov]], and [[Harry Hopkins]] at the [[Tehran Conference]] in Iran, December 1943]] When rumors circulated that Marshall would become the Supreme Commander of Operation Overlord, many critics viewed the potential transfer as a demotion, since he would leave his position as Chief of Staff of the Army and lose his seat on the [[Combined Chiefs of Staff]].{{sfn|Pogue}} While Marshall enjoyed considerable success in working with Congress and Roosevelt, he refused to lobby for the position.

As a result, the Marshall Plan program for the Netherlands' economic recovery was put on hold and the Truman administration threatened to cut all economic aid. The Netherlands finally agreed to withdraw and transferred sovereignty following the [[Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference]] in 1949.{{sfn|Gouda|2002}} Marshall resigned as Secretary of State because of ill health on 7 January 1949. He was severely exhausted throughout his tenure in the position. [[Dean Acheson]] in late 1947 said he was underperforming like "a four-engine bomber going only on one engine."{{sfn|Stoler|1989|p= 173}} Truman named him to the largely honorific positions of chairman of the [[American Battle Monuments Commission]] and president of the [[American Red Cross|American National Red Cross]].{{sfn|Unger|Unger|Hirshson|2014 |p= 455}} He received the 1953 [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his post-war work, despite the criticism that he was a warrior not a pacifist.<ref>See [https://www.marshallfoundation.org/blog/nobel-peace-prize/#:~:text=On%20December%2010%2C%201953%2C%20General,which%20had%20concluded%20in%201952 George C Marshall Foundation, "The Nobel Peace Prize" (2017)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926170230/https://www.marshallfoundation.org/blog/nobel-peace-prize/#:~:text=On%20December%2010%2C%201953%2C%20General,which%20had%20concluded%20in%201952 |date=26 September 2020 }}</ref> ==Secretary of Defense== [[File:Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall at The Pentagon.jpg|left|thumb|upright|Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall in his office at the Pentagon]] When the early months of the [[Korean War]] showed how poorly prepared the Defense Department was, President Truman fired Secretary [[Louis A. Johnson]] and named Marshall as [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]] in September 1950.{{sfn|Historical Office}} The appointment required a congressional waiver because the [[National Security Act of 1947]] prohibited a uniformed military officer from serving in the post. This prohibition included Marshall since individuals promoted to General of the Army are not technically retired but remain officially on active duty.{{sfn|Five-Star Generals in U.S.|2016}} Marshall was the first person to be granted such a waiver; in 2017, [[Jim Mattis]] became the second and in January 2021, General [[Lloyd Austin]] became the third.{{sfn|Marshall Mattis|2017}} Marshall's main role as Secretary of Defense was to restore confidence and morale to the Defense Department while rebuilding the [[United States Armed Forces]] following their [[Demobilization of United States armed forces after World War II|post-World War II demobilization]]. ===Korean War=== [[File:L to R, President Truman, George Marshall, Paul Hoffman, and Averell Harriman, in the oval office discussing the... - NARA - 200036.tif|thumb|Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall discussing the Korean War with President Truman and Special Assistant to the President Averell Harriman in the Oval Office]] Marshall worked to provide more manpower to meet the demands of both the [[Korean War]] and the [[Cold War]] in Europe. To implement his priorities Marshall brought in a new leadership team, including [[Robert A. Lovett]] as his deputy and [[Anna M. Rosenberg]], former head of the [[War Manpower Commission]], as assistant secretary of defense for manpower. He also worked to rebuild the relationship between the Defense and State Departments, as well as the relationship between the secretary of defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Marshall participated in the post-[[Battle of Inchon|Inchon landing]] discussion that led to authorizing [[Douglas MacArthur]] to conduct the [[UN offensive into North Korea]]. A secret "eyes only" signal from Marshall to MacArthur on 29 September 1950, declared the Truman administration's commitment: "We want you to feel unhampered strategically and tactically to proceed north of the [[38th parallel north|38th Parallel]]".{{sfn|A. Lewis|2012|p=104}} At the same time, Marshall advised against public pronouncements which might lead to [[United Nations]] votes undermining or countermanding the initial mandate to restore the [[Korean Demilitarized Zone|border between North and South Korea]]. Marshall and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were generally supportive of MacArthur because they were of the view that field commanders should be able to exercise their best judgment in accomplishing the intent of their superiors.{{fact|date=February 2025}} Following Chinese military intervention in Korea during late November, Marshall and the Joint Chiefs of Staff sought ways to aid MacArthur while avoiding all-out war with China. In the debate over what to do about China's increased involvement, Marshall opposed a cease-fire on the grounds that it would make the U.S. look weak in China's eyes, leading to demands for future concessions.{{sfn|Foreign Relations of United}} In addition, Marshall argued that the U.S. had a moral obligation to honor its commitment to South Korea. When British Prime Minister [[Clement Attlee]] suggested diplomatic overtures to China, Marshall opposed, arguing that it was impossible to negotiate with the Communist government. In addition, Marshall expressed concern that concessions to China would undermine confidence in the U.S. among its Asian allies, including Japan and the Philippines. When some in Congress favored expanding the war in Korea and confronting China, Marshall argued against a wider war in Korea, continuing instead to stress the importance of [[Containment|containing]] the [[Soviet Union]] during the Cold War battle for primacy in Europe.{{fact|date=February 2025}} ====Relief of General MacArthur==== {{main|Relief of Douglas MacArthur}} Increasingly concerned about public statements from MacArthur, commander of [[United Nations Command]] forces fighting in the Korean War, which contradicted President Truman's on prosecution of the war, on the morning of 6 April 1951, Truman held a meeting with Marshall, [[Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff]] Omar Bradley, Secretary of State Dean Acheson and advisor [[W. Averell Harriman]] to discuss whether MacArthur should be removed from command.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} Harriman was emphatically in favor of MacArthur's relief, but Bradley opposed it.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} Marshall asked for more time to consider the matter.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} Acheson was in favor but did not disclose this, instead warning Truman that if he did it, MacArthur's relief would cause "the biggest fight of your administration."{{sfn|Beisner|2009|p=429}} At another meeting the following day, Marshall and Bradley continued to oppose MacArthur's relief.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} On 8 April, the Joint Chiefs of Staff met with Marshall, and each expressed the view that MacArthur's relief was desirable from a "military point of view," suggesting that "if MacArthur were not relieved, a large segment of our people would charge that civil authorities no longer controlled the military."{{sfn|Cleaver|2019|pp=179}} Marshall, Bradley, Acheson, and Harriman met with Truman again on 9 April.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} Bradley informed the President of the views of the Joint Chiefs, and Marshall added that he agreed with them.{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} Truman wrote in his diary that "it is of unanimous opinion of all that MacArthur be relieved. All four so advise."{{sfn|Diary entries 6 7}} (The Joint Chiefs would later insist that they had only "concurred" with the relief, not "recommended" it.){{sfn|Pearlman|2008|p=214}} On 11 April 1951, Truman directed transmittal of an order to MacArthur, issued over Bradley's signature, relieving MacArthur of his assignment in Korea and directing him to turn over command to [[Matthew Ridgway]].{{sfn|Willbanks|2013|p=99}} In line with Marshall's view, and those of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, MacArthur's relief was looked upon by proponents as being necessary to reassert the tenet of [[civilian control of the military]].{{sfn|McCullough|1992b}} ==Later life== [[File:Dodona Manor.JPG|thumb|Dodona Manor, the 19th century home and gardens of George Marshall and his wife Katherine]] ===Retirement=== In September 1951, after 49 years of continuous public service, Marshall retired to his home, [[George C.

Atlee Burpee & Company]], Marshall wrote, "The business of seeds and flowers tantalizes me because I have been an amateur gardener, both flower and vegetable, since a boy of ten. There is nothing I would so much prefer to do this spring as to turn my mind to the wholesome business of gardening rather than the terrible problems and tragedies of war."{{sfn|3-147 To David Burpee}} Katherine's love of roses was well known, leading inventor Eugene S. Boerner to create the Katherine Tupper Marshall Rose, a pink hybrid tea rose.{{sfn|Why is a rose}} It was patented by Jackson and Perkins in 1943.{{sfn|Why is a rose}} ===American Battle Monuments Commission=== Throughout his retirement, Marshall served as chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission.{{sfn|Commission American Battle Monuments}} He oversaw the construction of fourteen cemeteries in eight countries following World War II to memorialize those killed or missing in battle.{{sfn|Building on Mission}} In the early 1950s, Marshall argued for the speedy construction and funding of cemeteries despite budget and staff cuts for the Korean War. Marshall wrote to General [[Joseph T. McNarney|Joseph McNarney]] in March 1951 saying, "I am naturally hesitant to become personally involved in individual personnel problems, but in this case, am deeply concerned about the overall morale factor if our foreign national cemeteries are not adequately maintained...."{{sfn|Building on Mission}} Marshall's efforts to secure building and maintenance staff for the cemeteries were successful, doubling the number of military officers assigned to the work.{{sfn|Building on Mission}} On 13 September 1952, Marshall attended the dedication ceremony of [[Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial|Suresnes American Cemetery]] in France.{{sfn|Building on Mission}}{{sfn|Dedication of Cemetery}} ===Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II=== After retiring, Marshall largely withdrew from public life.{{sfn|The Leadership of George C.

Marshall|publisher=Viking Press|year=1963|location=United States|language=English}}</ref> Marshall is best known for giving his name and prestige to the Marshall Plan to rebuild the European economy. However, he suffered several defeats – he failed in the year-long effort to resolve the Chinese Civil War; he was defeated in his proposal to impose universal military service on all American men; and he was overruled by President Truman when he opposed the recognition of Israel. Historians agree that Truman depended heavily upon Marshall's prestige at a time of intensely bitter partisanship. Wilson Miscamble points to Marshall's delayed recognition of the threat posed by the Soviet Union – not until April 1947 did he realize the dangers. Miscamble concludes that recent studies show that Marshall was:<blockquote>An important contributor but hardly a dominant figure in the making of postwar American foreign policy. He had a special gift for delegation and he drew forth impressive contributions from various capable subordinates.{{sfn|Miscamble}}</blockquote> Marshall's reputation for excellence as a military organizer and planner was recognized early in his career and became known throughout the Army. In a performance appraisal prepared while Marshall was a lieutenant in the Philippines, his superior, Captain E. J. Williams responded to the routine question of whether he would want the evaluated officer to serve under his command again by writing of Marshall "Should the exigencies of active service place him in exalted command I would be glad to serve ''under him''." (Emphasis added){{sfn|Editorial Note}} In 1916, Lieutenant Colonel [[Johnson Hagood (general)|Johnson Hagood]] completed a written evaluation of Marshall's performance in which he called Marshall a military genius. Responding to the question of whether he would want his subordinate Marshall to serve under him again, Hagood wrote "Yes, but I would prefer to serve ''under his command''." (Emphasis added){{sfn|Puryear|2000|p=191}} Hagood went on to recommend Marshall's immediate promotion to brigadier general, despite the fact that there were more than 1,800 officers, including Hagood, who were senior to him.{{sfn|Hambro|1953}} After the surrender of the [[Government of Nazi Germany|Nazi German government]] in May 1945, Henry L. Stimson, the [[United States Secretary of War|Secretary of War]], paid tribute to Marshall in front of a gathering of members of the Army staff, concluding with: "I have seen a great many soldiers in my lifetime and you, Sir, are the finest soldier I have ever known."{{sfn|Hambro|1953}} Historians credit the high regard others had for Marshall's personal integrity as another reason for his positive legacy.{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} In addition to his willingness to confront Pershing over Pershing's berating of the 1st Division chief of staff during World War I, Marshall cited other instances where he provided persistent advice that kept Pershing from creating needless controversy.{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} In one, Marshall recalled a time when Pershing and [[James Harbord]] intended to change a War Department policy implemented by [[Peyton March]], the chief of staff of the Army and Pershing's nominal superior, with whom Pershing had a long-running feud.{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} Marshall counseled against it several times, and Pershing angrily indicated that his chief of staff Harbord and he intended to submit their proposal despite Marshall's advice.{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} Rather than concede, Marshall replied that Pershing was letting his personal feud with March cloud his judgment and that Harbord, who also disliked March, was doing the same.{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} Instead of continuing to "pull rank", Pershing yielded to Marshall's judgment and said "Well, have it your own way."{{sfn|Runkle|2019|pp=27–28}} In another incident that highlighted Marshall's reputation for integrity, when President Franklin Roosevelt, a former [[Assistant Secretary of the Navy]], favored the Navy during World War II planning, Marshall suggested that Roosevelt stop referring to the Navy as "us" and the Army as "them."{{sfn|Christian Herald|1973|p=10}} Roosevelt laughed, but Marshall's humorous protest had made its point.{{sfn|Christian Herald|1973|p=10}} In addition to his military success, Marshall is primarily remembered as the driving force behind the Marshall Plan, which provided billions of dollars in aid to post war Europe to restart the economies of the destroyed countries. In recent years, the cooperation required between former European adversaries as part of the Marshall Plan has been recognized as one of the earliest factors that led to [[European integration]] beginning with the formation of the [[European Coal and Steel Community]], and eventually the formation of the [[European Union]].{{sfn|History of Marshall Plan}} In a television interview after leaving office, Truman was asked which American he thought had made the greatest contribution of the preceding thirty years. Without hesitation, Truman picked Marshall, adding "I don't think in this age in which I have lived, that there has been a man who has been a greater administrator; a man with a knowledge of military affairs equal to General Marshall."{{sfn|Farinacci|2010|p=253}} [[Orson Welles]] said in a 1970 interview with [[Dick Cavett]] that "Marshall is the greatest man I ever met ... I think he was the greatest human being who was also a great man ... He was a tremendous gentleman: an old fashioned institution which isn't with us anymore."{{sfn|Dick Cavett Show|1970}} The story Welles related to Cavett to illustrate his point was about a time he saw Marshall take the time to speak with a young American soldier who had accidentally entered the same room. The young man was starstruck to have accidentally stumbled upon Marshall, yet Marshall still patiently and politely engaged the soldier in conversation.{{sfn|Dick Cavett Show|1970}} ===Tributes and memorials=== [[File:Marshall Statue Germany.jpg|thumb|A statue of General Marshall is unveiled at the George C.
