Gen. George S.
Blanchard, USA (Ret.)
The long and distinguished career of General George S.
Blanchard exemplifies “Duty, Honor, Country.” At home and abroad, he has been a
consummate leader, serving the Nation, the Army, and his fellow man. His
contributions to world peace and the quality of military life have been
far-reaching and enduring.
George Blanchard rose to the rank of sergeant in the Coast
Artillery before entering West Point with the Class of 1944. Upon graduation he
was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Infantry. Shortly thereafter, he was a
platoon leader and company commander in the 70th and 78th Infantry Divisions
during campaigns in France and Germany. During these assignments he made the
first of his many contributions to restoring and stabilizing peace in
Europe.
Following a tour on the general staff of the United States
Forces, European Theater, then Captain Blanchard earned a Master of Science
degree in Public Administration from Syracuse University in 1949. Over the next
decade he served as Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
General Omar Bradley; as an instructor of regimental tactics at Fort Benning;
and as an advisor with the Military Advisory Assistance Group on Taiwan. During
this period he also attended the Infantry Officer Advanced Course, Basic
Airborne Course, Army Command and General Staff College and Armed Forces Staff
College.
Promoted to Colonel in 1959, George Blanchard commanded the
2d Airborne Battle Group, 503d Infantry, 82nd Airborne Division. He then served
as the G-3 of I Corps (Group) in Korea. In 1966, he served as Assistant Division
Commander, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam, where he later served as
Chief of Staff, I Field Force. In Vietnam, this skilled and decorated aviator’s
progressive thinking on combined arms operations dramatically advanced the
Army’s use of helicopters in combat. Additionally, during the 1960s, he was
assigned as Director of Special Warfare in the Office of the Deputy Chief of
Staff for Military Operations; Director of Plans, Programs and Budget for two
major Army General Staff organizations; and as executive officer to two
Secretaries of the Army. In each of these positions he made lasting
contributions to the Army.
In 1970, General Blanchard assumed command of the 82nd
Airborne Division. There, he provided inspirational, innovative, and timely
leadership. At a time when morale had ebbed, he restored discipline, esprit de
corps, and combat effectiveness.
General Blanchard then returned to Europe, commanding VII
Corps and, subsequently, the United States Army, Europe and Seventh Army/
Central Army Group. In these assignments his operational creativity established
a flexible forward defense, the framework for the Army’s first attack helicopter
battalion, and innovative host nation support agreements. His vision and
leadership advanced interoperability with military partners in NATO, established
a broad spectrum of community- based partnerships, instituted the use of
television to disseminate command information, began a comprehensive off-duty
education program for soldiers and dependents, and established progressive
leadership programs such as the Sergeant Morales competition. Of special note
was his steadfast commitment to the individual soldier, as well as the enduring
bonds he forged between American and German forces and
communities.
In 1979, General Blanchard completed his active duty. His
service over the years had merited multiple awards of the Distinguished Service
Medal, Silver Star, and Distinguished Flying Cross, as well as the Air Medal and
awards from foreign nations. Since his retirement, he has continued to serve.
While a Director on the Atlantic Council Board, his statesmanship greatly
enhanced cooperation and shaped international relations during the post-Cold War
era. Later in the 1990s, he accepted appointments to the Army Science Board and
the Washington Institute of Foreign Affairs.
In civilian life, George Blanchard has spearheaded major
initiatives to bolster the quality of military life. While President of The
Retired Officers Association, he dramatically expanded membership and
established a powerful military coalition, which protected military cost of
living allowances and prompted repeal of a Medicare surtax that would have
unfairly burdened military retirees. He also served with distinction as
President of the United Services Organization, enhancing the USO’s services for
families. His contributions to his fellow man continue today. In his community
in North Carolina, he has organized a program whereby he and other retirees
tutor the illiterate.
Through his lifetime of service to the Nation, General Blanchard has truly burnished the image of West Point and the Long Gray Line. Accordingly, the Association of Graduates of the United States Military Academy takes pride in presenting the 2001 Distinguished Graduate Award to George S. Blanchard.

partisan educational corporation, formed to examine the potential for defending
America against missile attack.
Founded by General Daniel O. Graham in the early 1980’s, High Frontier played a
key role in developing the framework for President Ronald Reagan's Strategic
Defense Initiative (SDI). Under Ambassador Cooper’s direction, High Frontier
continues to inform the nation of the growing threat of ballistic missiles and
of the need for a workable missile defense.
Ambassador Cooper has had a long and distinguished career in
service to his country. He was Director of the Strategic Defense Initiative
Organization (SDIO) during the Bush administration. Prior to becoming SDIO's
first civilian director, he conducted a major independent review of the SDI
program and related policy issues for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, the results
of which were instrumental in reversing the SDI funding cuts Congress had
mandated in the preceding several years. Previously, he was President Reagan's
Chief Negotiator at the Geneva Defense and Space Talks, successfully defending
SDI in these negotiations with the now defunct Soviet Union.
Ambassador Cooper also led the development of President
Reagan's space
arms control policy while serving as Assistant Director of the Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency, and as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force
earlier in the Reagan Administration, he helped institute the 1981 Strategic
Modernization Program. Much earlier in his career, he was Scientific Advisor at
the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, now Phillips Laboratory, in Albuquerque, New
Mexico.
He is also Chairman of Applied
Research Associates, Senior Associate of the National Institute for Public Policy, and
Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Previously in the private sector, he was Senior Vice President of Jaycor, Deputy
Director of the Nuclear Weapons Effects Division at R&D Associates, member
of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories, and an instructor at Clemson
University.
Author of over 100 technical and policy publications,
Ambassador Cooper holds a Ph.D. from New York University in mechanical
engineering, and BS and MS degrees from Clemson University, also in mechanical
engineering. He and his wife Bobbye, have two daughters, Laura and Cynthia, a
son, Scott, and eight grandchildren.
