Major General Johnson Hagood (June 16, 1873 – December 22, 1948) was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina, graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1896,[2] was commissioned in the artillery, and served in France in World War I, where he created the Services of Supply.

Toward the end of the career, Hagood was embroiled in political controversy when he criticized President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, saying its funding was "stage money".

Soon after his comments became public on February 10, 1936, he was relieved from command of the Eighth Corps Area (headquartered at Fort Sam Houston, Texas).

As Chief of Staff of the Services of Supply of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, his ability for organization, his energy, and his sound judgement were factors in the efficiency of this important branch.

By his marked zeal and aggressiveness he greatly added to the successful administration of the Services of Supply.His homes were in Charleston, S.C., and San Antonio, Texas.
