Lieutenant General Troy H. Middleton effectively commanded division and corps formations in World War II. His previous combat experience included command of the 47th Infantry Regiment in World War I. During the interwar period, Middleton served as an instructor at the Infantry School, Command and General Staff Course, and the Army War College. This monograph examines the factors that influenced General Middleton on the battlefield. Command at the division and corps levels on the World War II battlefield required experience and judgment on the part of commanders if they were to make sound decisions in the stressful environment of combat. General Middleton's attendance at the service schools and his prior experiences in combat affected his command. He employed a cognitive approach to processing information rapidly and logically thinking through tactical problems. Middleton also demonstrated an ability to remain calm while developing plans of action under the most trying of combat conditions. Lastly, Middleton's interwar education and combat experience enabled him to diverge from conventional approaches to solving tactical problems.
