Jack Phillip Juhan (December 28, 1904 – February 24, 2002) was a decorated officer of the United States Marine Corps, who reached the rank of major general.

Following his graduation in 1922, Juhan enrolled at the University of Denver, but after one year, he received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, by U.S.

After his arrival, Juhan was stationed in Matagalpa Department and his duty consisted of supervision of the elections, training of Guardia Nacional men and extensive jungle patrolling.

In November 1928, Juhan was ordered back to the United States and subsequently served in Marine Barracks at Quantico, Virginia, and Pensacola, Florida.

Captain Juhan was subsequently appointed commander of the Marine detachment aboard the cruiser USS Vincennes and sailed to Panama Canal and Hawaii, before returning to San Diego.

He returned from the sea duties in March 1939 and following the one-month leave, he was appointed aide-de-camp to the commandant of the Marine Corps, Major General Thomas Holcomb.

Shortly before the end of the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Rathvon M. Tompkins, the commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, 29th Marine Regiment, was wounded by enemy fire on July 2, 1944.

He participated in the subsequent landing on Tinian at the end of July 1944 and following his promotion to the rank of colonel, he was appointed an Intelligence officer (S-2) of the 2nd Marine Division under Major General Thomas E.

Juhan was relieved by Colonel James P. Berkeley, ordered back to the United States in February 1946 and assigned to Chicago, where he was appointed officer in charge of the Central Recruiting Division.

He was responsible for the exchange of the prisoners of war and also for the clothing issue, security, food, communication, motor transport and the operation of the unit headquarters.
