Kenneth F. Cramer (October 3, 1894 – February 20, 1954) was an American politician and United States Army major general who served as Chief of the National Guard Bureau.

[2] In 1938, he completed the United States Army Command and General Staff College and was his class Honor Graduate.

[8][9] He resided in Wethersfield, Connecticut, and in his civilian career he worked in the coal business, eventually becoming owner and operator of Hartford's K.F.

[12][13] He was a colonel and commander of the 169th Infantry Regiment when he mobilized for World War II with New England's 43rd "Winged Victory" Division.

The feud reached a high point in 1949 when Cramer dismissed Finch without consulting the Air Force leadership.

In addition, he was investigated over concerns that his disciplinary measures in Germany were too harsh and had a negative effect on unit morale.

[30][31] Cramer argued that requiring soldiers to remain on post during mobilization was necessary to improve readiness and cohesion by maximizing training time and that his actions in Germany were an effort to curtail black market activities.
