He joined the new US Tank Corps of the AEF in World War I. He commanded the U.S. tank school in France before being wounded in action.

Under Eisenhower, Patton helped plan the invasion of French North Africa in Operation Torch in the summer of 1942, commanding the Western Task Force of 33,000 men in 100 ships in the Casablanca landings. And that's only the beginning of his story!
