Profile

John J. Pershing

John Joseph Pershing est un général des armées des États-Unis, né le 13septembre1860 dans le Missouri et mort le 15juillet1948 à l'hôpital Walter Reed à Washington, D.C.. Il est le seul général, avec George Washington (à titre posthume en 1976), à avoir obtenu le grade de General of the Armies. Pershing fut nommé au grade de major général et les États-Unis déclarèrent la guerre le 6 avril 1917 à l'Empire allemand de Guillaume II. Quatre semaines après l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis, Pershing reçut un télégramme de son beau-père, le sénateur Warren, qui lui demandait comment il parlait le français. John répondit qu'il le parlait couramment. Quelques jours plus tard, il reçut une lettre du sénateur. Celui-ci l'informait que le secrétaire à la Guerre, Newton D. Baker, l'avait consulté au sujet du général qui devrait être envoyé en France. Un nouveau télégramme du major général Hugh L. Scott convoqua Pershing à Washington où ce dernier apprit sa nomination au commandement de l'AEF.    Après l'armistice, Pershing, continua son projet de structuration de l'armée. En 1919, le Congrès lui décerna le titre de General of the Armies des États-Unis. Il reste à ce jour l'officier le plus haut gradé qui ait jamais servi dans l'armée des États-Unis. Son seul prédécesseur à ce grade est Washington qui l'a obtenu à titre posthume. Un char de combat, le M26 Pershing ainsi qu'un missile balistique, le MGM-31 Pershing, ont été baptisés par l'armée américaine en son honneur. Born : 13th-Sep-1860
