The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Major General Harold Roe Bull (ASN: 0-3707), United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in positions of great responsibility as Commanding General, Replacement and School Command, and Commanding General, III Corps, from 1942 to 1943. General Bull commanded the Replacement and School Command during the period of the Army’s great need for technically trained personnel. Under his guidance and as a result of his thorough knowledge of training requirements based on the needs of the Army, the war time expansion of Army Ground Forces schools was accomplished with the highest degree of efficiency. His continued efforts contributed largely to the successful transition and modernization of doctrines and training presented in various schools. As a result of his indefatigable attention to duty and keen appreciation of the problems, Army Ground Forces training centers and service schools were able to produce trained officers and enlisted specialists of such caliber and in such numbers as to meet the most exacting combat requirements. General Bull commanded the III Corps during the period of its participation in maneuvers in the Tennessee maneuver area during the summer of 1943. As a result of his superb leadership and brilliant tactical intelligence, the III Corps was welded into a highly trained, efficient, and aggressive ground organization.
