 | Between April and August 1943, the U.S. Army's II Corps saw two of its division commanders relieved of their commands. Each relief appeared tied to battlefield setbacks. MG Orlando Ward of the 1st Armored Division was relieved after his division failed to seize a narrow mountain pass near the town of Maknassy, in Tunisia.

| Perception, as senior Army leaders are fond of saying, is reality. African American/Black representation and subsequent advancement in the combat arms branches of the U.S. Army is woefully lacking. Black accessions into the combat arms branches is minuscule, and the numbers of Black combat arms officers who advance in key leadership/command positions at the battalion and brigade command level and higher are token at best. It is a historical fact ... |

| Retired flag officers should refrain from public speaking and commentary on matters related to current military activities, particularly at the theater-strategic and operational levels of war. There are many legal and practical reasons why retired flag officers should restrict free-flowing public speech on matters related to ongoing operations in which they have in-depth knowledge.
