Gordon Byrom Rogers (22 August 1901 – 3 July 1967) was a United States Army lieutenant general who served in several command positions during World War II and the Korean War, including the United States Military Advisory Group to the Republic of Korea and the 3rd Armored Division.

Under his command, the division was reorganized from a training unit to a deployable one and plans were made to relocate it to West Germany.

[31][32][33][34][35] After his retirement from the Army General Rogers served as Director of the NATO Mutual Weapons Development Team.

[41] Rogers died at Walter Reed Hospital on July 3, 1967, and was buried with his wife at Arlington National Cemetery.

[46] One of their children, Gordon Byrom Rogers Jr. (born October 21, 1934) graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1957.

The younger Rogers was a career Army officer who served in the Vietnam War and attained the rank of brigadier general.

[50] In his memoir, David Hackworth cites Rogers as an example of Korean War senior officers who received undeserved awards for valor.

Hackworth indicated that his perception of this incident led him to decide that the military's awards process had become devalued, and that senior officers should almost never be recommended for valor medals.
