Paul Logasa Bogen

He was a member of the Army ROTC program obtaining the rank of Cadet Captain[2] and being elected Finance Office of Phalanx, the University's military honor fraternity.

[3] He served in World War II in the 6th Armored Division, first as a tank commander, then as a scout, and finally as the Assistant G-3, I&E, where he co-authored the official unit history.

[3] During this time, he pursued a doctorate in Speech Communications at Ohio State University with research in the nascent fields of educational radio and television.

[3] As he neared completion of his degree, the growing tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union led to the Army re-activating him.

[citation needed] In 1966 after returning from Vietnam, Colonel Bogen was again a faculty member at the U.S. Army War College as the first recipient of the Eisenhower Chair of Strategic Appraisal[10] During this time, he was recognized as one of the first professional soldiers to advocate the military as nation-builders.

[11] In 1969, Bogen was transferred to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where he served as the chief of staff of the 4th Army.

[citation needed] Colonel Bogen, however, decided he did not want to relocate again, particularly since his second oldest son had just started college and his youngest was in the middle of high school.
