Major General Russell Peter Hartle (June 26, 1889 – November 23, 1961) was a U.S. Army officer who commanded the 34th Infantry Division and V Corps in the European Theater of Operations (ETOUSA) during World War II. ==Early military career == Hartle graduated from St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland in 1910, and received a commission as an infantry Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.whilbr.org/GeneralHartle/index.aspx )〕 Soon thereafter, he was sent to the Philippine Islands as the American military government was still attempting to stabilize the country nine years after the end of the Philippine–American War, yet still in turmoil due in large part to the Moro Rebellion. In 1912, Hartle served with the 10th Infantry at Fort Douglas, Utah. From 1913 to 1916, he served with the 20th Infantry on the US border with Mexico during the Mexican Border War.〔 During WWI, Hartle served as a Captain in the 13th Division as it was preparing to leave for France in 1919. After WWI, he was a professor of Military Science and Tactics at Utah Agricultural College (now Utah State University).〔 Hartle graduated from the Army Infantry School in 1924, the Command and General Staff College in 1925, and the Army War College in 1930. He returned to the Philippines in 1930, was promoted to the rank of Major, and went on to Shanghai in 1932, as senior battalion commander of the 31st Infantry, under orders to protect American lives and property as the Japanese invaded China.〔 In 1934, Hartle graduated from the Naval War College, and from 1934 to 1938, he served as a member of the (War Plans Division ) of the War Department General Staff. Hartle was the first person to graduate from both the Army and Naval War Colleges.〔 Promoted to the rank of Colonel, Hartle commanded the 65th Infantry Regiment in Puerto Rico from 1939 to August 1941. His mission was to pull together American and Puerto Rican forces and prepare them to defend the Caribbean and eastern coast of the United States from any Axis aggression. In October 1940, while serving as commander of the mobile forces of Puerto Rico, Hartle was promoted to Brigadier General.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russell P.
