Louisiana Maneuvers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Great Louisiana Maneuvers also known as The Big One was the largest military exercise of its kind ever held in United States, involving half a million men and 19 Army Divisions, taking place over 3400 square miles of Louisiana during August - September 1941. It was preparation for United States' entry into World War II. Many future military heroes were involved, including Mark Clark, Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George Marshall and George Patton. A young lieutenant named Henry Kissinger was also there.
