General Miles Warns Against One Head for Army in War Debate
General Nelson A Miles told a Senate military affairs committee that a proposed general staff bill would destroy army unity by placing power with a secretary of war and adjutant general to favor favorites. He argued the plan would reduce senior leaders to puppets and cited Napoleon Washington and Grant to justify centralized command. Secretary Root contends the bill would create a purely advisory board, not orders, and would still let the president appoint the army chief of staff with limited chief authority.
