In 1886 he became an assistant surgeon in the United States Army, and began his brilliant career as a military leader. In 1899 he was appointed brigadier-general of the United States Army and in the same year was made military governor of Cuba. Four years later he was promoted to his present rank of major-general. Additional honor was shown him when, in 1910, he was made chief of staff, and again in 1914 when he was placed in complete charge of the Department of the East.
