benning to the national guard and the ccc depression, the sum total was imaginatively applied by georgel to direct the american army during the war. it was as if every single year of his career related to the monumental task he undertook. the american military build-up was just beginning to gain momentum when the japanese attacked pearl harbor. at an inspection of the army's new airborne troops at ft. bragg in 1942, marshall gets a close-up view of the citizen soldier at work. field soldiers never knew when the chief of staff might make an appearance such as this one at the jungle warfare training center in hawaii. marshall might do his thinking and planning in washington, but it was from the field that he drew his facts. a gifted observer, the smallest detail did not escape him. army subordinates were either proud or dismayed by marshall's critical appraisal, depending upon the performance. jungle training was a new experience for american troops, but it was clear from the beginning that in order to win the war in the pacific, our soldiers had to beat the japanese at their own game. in
