Dahlquist, John E. (John Ernest), 1896-1975

General John E. Dahlquist served in the United States (U.S.) Army from 1917-1956 beginning his career in Reserve Officers' Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) at the University of Minnesota from which he graduated in 1917 and was commissioned a second lieutenant, Infantry Reserve. He did not see service during World War I, but served with the Army of Occupation in Magen, Germany (1919-1922). The mid-war assignments of Dahlquist were varied and he rose in rank rather rapidly for an officer during that period of time. He completed the two-year course at Command and General Staff College (CGSC) in 1931 and graduated from the Army War College (AWC) in 1936. He held staff assignments at the Pentagon until May 1941 when he went to London as Assistant Chief of Staff (CoS) for Personnel, G1, Special Army Observers Group. He was promoted to major general (temporary) in 1943. Following World War II, Dahlquist served both in the Pentagon and at various military posts (both stateside and in Germany).
