The first holder of a chair in military history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is a major in the U.S. Army.
John Hall, a Wisconsin native who currently works at the Future Warfare Division of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command in Virginia, has been named the Ambrose-Hesseltine Professor in U.S. Military History.
“I’m thrilled by the opportunity,” Hall said in a news release from the UW news service. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is literally my dream job.”
