In February 1941, Bradley was promoted to (wartime) temporary rank of brigadier general...

But America wasn't at war until December 1941. Valetude (talk) 16:36, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The caption of the photo under the Louisiana Maneuvers sections reads:

"Lesley J. McNair listens as Omar Bradley, 82nd Infantry Division commander, explains a scenario to McNair at the Louisiana Maneuvers"

According to this article, Bradley became commander of the 82nd Infantry Division in 1942. According to the article on the Louisiana Maneuvers, the maneuvers were held in 1941. If both are correct, then Bradley was not yet commander of the 82nd ID during the maneuvers, so what's the deal here? 80.98.220.157 (talk) 12:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, the 82d wasn't even activated until 1942. so therefore not possible to have been a part of the Maneuvers.

Agreed. Bradley was a lieutenant colonel and one of the exercise organizers. I'll fix the caption.Billmckern (talk) 00:06, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The photo includes future U.S. Army Generals Omar Bradley (seated, second from left) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (standing, far right)." --John (User:Jwy/talk) 01:35, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Probably hallucinating! --John (User:Jwy/talk) 01:38, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This photo, with caption "Group photo of the 1915 West Point letterman. Bradley is standing in the back row, third from the right." ~2026-23153-5 (talk) 15:31, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
