In 1969, armored cavalry units ( minus the 11th ACR which retained its M48 Patton tank companies ) began replacing their M48 Patton tanks, which in turn were normally transferred to the South Vietnamese military.

As a boy, Patton read widely in the classics and military history.

Patton came from a military family, his ancestors including General Hugh Mercer of the American Revolution.

During his time in Hawaii, Patton was part of the military units responsible for the defense of the islands, and specifically wrote a defense plan, called " Surprise ", anticipating an air raid against Pearl Harbor – 10 years before the attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941.

There are also unsubstantiated claims that Patton was seen at a few instances saluting German POWs and also berating some for slouching around rather than training for military action, thus indicating he hoped to get them back into action as soon as possible against the Soviets.

Being consistent with his egalitarian view, Patton made certain at least some black officers served as judges in military tribunals with cases involving black defendants, and he was known, as was General George Washington before him, to spend significant time with his African-American aide, in this case, Sergeant Meeks, in which it was reported that it grew into a demonstrative mutual respect.

Patton ( seated, second from left ) and Eisenhower ( seated, middle ) with other American military officials, 1945.

When Patton openly accused Eisenhower of caring more about a political career than his military duties, their friendship effectively came to an end.

It was a curious conclusion, since in terms of military successes Patton had accomplished far more than any other U. S. ground force commander, particularly in comparison to Bradley.

Notwithstanding Eisenhower's estimation of Patton's abilities as a strategic planner, his overall view of Patton's military value in achieving Allied victory in Europe can best be seen in Eisenhower's refusal to even consider sending Patton home after the ' slapping incident ' of 1943.

Some historians have accused the film of exaggerating Patton's negative traits, particularly the repeated portrayal of Patton as a commander whose desire for military glory on the battlefield overrode any need to limit unnecessary casualties by the men under his command.

These critics often discern in the film a thinly disguised attempt to glorify the military by portraying Patton as an inspirational leader, a commander whose bold plans to conquer Germany and end the war were constantly sabotaged by higher command as well as his military inferiors on the battlefield.

A Mojave Desert Army base near Rice, California was considered the best location, but was opted against because General Leslie Groves, military head of the project, did not wish to have any dealings with Gen. George S. Patton, commander of the base, whom he disliked.

The 1965 war between India and Pakistan witnessed the personal bravery of an Indian soldier, Abdul Hamid, who was honoured with the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military award, for knocking out seven Pakistani Patton tanks with a recoilless gun.

General George Patton was among the many influential military leaders reported to have read " Infantry Attacks ".

As a result of the American Army investigation court-martial, charges were drawn up against Sparks and several other men under his command but, as General George S. Patton ( the then recently appointed military governor of Bavaria ) chose to dismiss the charges, the witnesses to the massacre were never cross-examined in court and no one was found guilty.

While Oberbürgermeister, he entered a much publicised friendship with U. S. Army Major General George S. Patton IV, the son of his father's World War II adversary, George S. Patton, who was assigned to the nearby U. S. military headquarters.

More than 5, 000 American soldiers, including U. S. Army General George S. Patton, are buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial near the capital of Luxembourg City, and there are monuments in many towns to American liberators.

This is a year before Patton arrived at Fort Bliss, and a year and a half before Villa became an official enemy of the U. S. in 1916 and Patton became an aide to Pershing in the U. S. campaign to track Villa down.

In 1915 Patton was assigned to border patrol duty with the 8th Cavalry Regiment, arriving at Fort Bliss, Texas in September of that year.

He led an expedition that was ostensibly for the purpose of foraging to obtain corn ( maize ) for the horses in the remaining force, but Patton used it also to hunt outlaws at their rancheros.

All were shot at by Patton at some point, who first knocked down a horse under a rider at close range with a pistol shot, causing that rider to be killed shortly after by fire from several men, including Patton.

Patton reported that one of the civilian guides, an ex-Villista named E. L. Holmdahl, now working for the Americans, fired the last shot that killed the already-multiply-wounded Cárdenas, who at the end of the fight had started to surrender, then continued firing.

Shortly after his arrival at Champlieu, the British launched what was then the largest armoured attack of the war at the Battle of Cambrai, and at the conclusion of his tour, on December 1, Patton went to Albert, from Cambrai, to be briefed on the recent attack by the chief of staff of the British Tank Corps, Colonel J. F. C. Fuller.
