Wood Named Next Army Chief of Staff by Dickinson
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, head of the Department of the East, will become chief of staff of the army succeeding Gen. J. Franklin Bell as term ends next spring. Wood, 49, rose from assistant surgeon in 1856 to commander of the Philippine forces, with a Medal of Honor for his campaign actions against Geronimo. Roosevelt's strong support aided his rapid ascent amid army resentment over senior officers passed over.
