USPA NATIONAL AWARDS THE GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON AWARD Established 2014 Remembered for his fierce determination and ability to lead soldiers, George S. Patton Jr. is considered one of the greatest military figures in history. Immortalized as one of the world’s most intriguing military men, he was known for carrying pistols with ivory handles, his intemperate manner and his love for polo. Patton was an avid believer that polo was a useful tool in understanding how his fellow officers performed under pressure. Regarded as one of the most successful United States field commanders of any war, he continuously drove his troops to the highest standard of excellence in training and utilized his love for polo as a teaching aid. He carried a fine set of polo ponies from post to post, and routinely established polo matches on the weekends at the military base he was assigned to. Russel A.
