ADP 6-22 LOGIC MAP
“[T]he
truly
great
leader
overcomes all difficulties, and
campaigns and battles are nothing
but a long series of difficulties to
be overcome. The lack of
equipment, the lack of food, the
lack of this or that are only
excuses; the real leader displays
his qualities in his triumph over
adversity, however great it may
be.”
- GEN George Marshall, 1941
