WASHINGTON THE TACTICIAN…NOT SO MUCH

Washington’s biggest weakness was as a tactician. Although his bravery was never questioned – he would often put himself at risk on the front lines – he wasn’t good at directing troops and taking charge of battle planning as the fight unfolded.

“Washington liked overly complicated plans that hinged on precision timing,” Harrison says. “He lost a lot of battles because of that, which some historians criticize him for.”

“Washington was a great strategic leader who was very good at seeing the big picture and playing the long game,” says Adrienne Harrison, PhD, senior historian at Battlefield Leadership and a former assistant professor of American history at the U.S. Military Academy. “But tactically, he was terrible, and he never got better as the war went on.”
