John Joseph Pershing (Laclede, 1860 - Washington, 1948) John Joseph Pershing, best-known as "Black Jack", was an American general.
He distinguished himself in the Spanish-American war for his courage and after a long and brilliant career in the Philippines and Mexico against the rebels of the two countries. Pershing led the US expedition in World War I and later served as chief of staff of the United States Army. for this reason he is considered the mentor of a generation of US generals who fought in World War II such as George Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Lesley James McNair, George Smith Patton and Douglas MacArthur. Like George Washington, he was the only soldier to obtain the highest US military rank, that of General of the Armies of the United States.
Pershing was one of the first generals in history to be able to coordinate light infantry with twentieth-century war inventions such as tanks and armored cars for the great offensives during the punitive expedition to Mexico against Pancho Villa and the Hundred Days Offensive. T.
In his honor, the ballistic missile with code MGM-31 and the M26 tank were named “Pershing“.
