General (retired) Martin Dempsey was a soldier’s soldier. Throughout his career, and especially during his time as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he commanded enormous respect both within the military and within the Beltway. Among Dempsey’s many accomplishments include command of 1st Armored Division, V Corps, CENTCOM, and TRADOC. He was also the Chief of Staff of the Army.
No shrinking violet or armchair general, the former Armor officer is a multi-tour combat veteran who commanded the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTCI), and earned both a Combat Action Badge and a Bronze Star with “V” device for valor. He also has more than a half-dozen combat stripes crawling up the right sleeve of his Army Service Uniform.
