The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Brigadier General Stanley Lorenzo Scott (ASN: 0-4439), United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility from 20 November 1942 to 27 February 1943. As Chief of Staff of the Persian Gulf Command, the ability of General Scott to analyze and solve new problems, and his supervision and coordination of the administrative, supply, and operations of all activities contributed in a marked degree to the rapid development of the transportation facilities in the Persian Corridor and to the establishment of an efficient line of communications for the delivery of supplies to the Soviet Union. Faced with a pioneering job, as only a single-track railroad with inadequate equipment was available, he supervised the establishment and organization of military railway, motor transport, and port and base services, and enlarged, improved, and modernized the facilities for their operation. His energy and professional ability contributed materially to the great increase in the amount of supplies delivered. The singularly distinctive accomplishments of General Scott reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Army.
