He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1903, over the next decade and a half he was assigned to Army posts in the U.S., the Philippines and Panama, served at the War Department and participated in the occupation of Vera Cruz, Mexico. During World War I, MacArthur saw combat in France, commanding the 42nd ("Rainbow") Division with the temporary rank of Brigadier General. Following the war, he was named Superintendent of the Military Academy and served two tours of duty in the Philippines.
Appointed Chief of Staff of the Army in 1930, with the rank of General, MacArthur remained in that post until 1935. He then went back to the Philippines, charged with creating a Filipino army. General MacArthur retired from the U.S. Army in 1937 and was appointed to the rank of Field Marshall in the Philippine Army. As the threat of war with Japan grew, in July 1941 he was recalled to U.S. service as commander of U.S. Army Forces in the Far East, initially in the rank of Lieutenant General. After Japan began hostilities in December 1941, he was responsible for U.S. and Philippines forces in their unsuccessful fight against the Japanese, later receiving the Medal of Honor in recognition of his efforts.
