=**CORRECT!!! WINSTON CHURCHILL CALLED MARSHALL THE ORGANIZER FOR VICTORY**=

George Marshall was the Army Chief of Staff during WWII. He organized the largest military expansion in U.S. history, inheriting an outmoded, poorly-equipped army of 189,000 men and, partly drawing from his experience teaching and developing techniques of modern warfare as an instructor at the Army War College, coordinated the large-scale expansion and modernization of the U.S. Army. Though he had never actually led troops in combat, Marshall was a skilled organizer with a talent for inspiring other officers. Many of the top generals who had command positions had them due to Marshall, either by him choosing or recommending them, including Eisenhower and Bradley. After the war, he would be responsible for the economic aid plan for Europe, called the Marshall Plan
