The Stormin' Normans (Horrible Histories)

Product Information

Between 1970 and 1983, Schwarzkopf took on a number of different assignments. Promoted to colonel, Schwarzkopf volunteered for an assignment in Alaska, and in late 1974 became deputy commander of the 172nd Infantry Brigade at Fort Richardson, Alaska. [59] [60] In 1975, Col Schwarzkopf served as Commander of Troop E, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, at Fort Wainwright, AK. Subsequently, in October 1976, he moved to Fort Lewis, Washington, to command the 1st Brigade of the 9th Infantry Division, [61] where he impressed his division commander, Major General Richard E. Cavazos. The two frequently hunted together and developed a close friendship. [62] Having been very successful in improving the combat readiness of the 1st Brigade, he was nominated to receive his first star as a brigadier general. [47] His promotion ceremony occurred at Fort Lewis shortly after he had relinquished command of the brigade. [63] He seldom spoke up during the conflict, but in late 2004, he sharply criticised the then defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and the Pentagon for mistakes that included inadequate training for army reservists sent to Iraq and for erroneous judgments about Iraq. By August 17, the 173rd Airborne Brigade arrived and broke the siege, ending the Battle of Đức Cơ. General William Westmoreland later arrived to review the battle and congratulate Schwarzkopf. For his leadership in the battle, Schwarzkopf was awarded the Silver Star. [44] [45] On February 14, 1966, Schwarzkopf led an ARVN paratrooper assault on a Viet Cong position, during which he was wounded four times by small arms fire. However, he refused medical evacuation or to relinquish command until the objective had been captured and so he was awarded a second Silver Star and a Purple Heart.

In early 2003 he told the Washington Post the outcome was an unknown.
