- Troy Houston Middleton (* 12. Oktober 1889 in , Mississippi; † 9. Oktober 1976 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) war ein US-amerikanischer Generalleutnant (Lieutenant General) und angesehener Ausbilder des Heeres. Middleton diente als Korpskommandant in Europa während des Zweiten Weltkrieges und wurde nach Kriegsende ab 1950 Präsident der Louisiana State University (LSU). Middleton gehörte ab 1912 der Armee der Vereinigten Staaten an und wurde 1918 zum Colonel befördert. Damit war er zu dieser Zeit der jüngste Offizier dieses Ranges in den American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Während des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde Middleton für Tapferkeit in der Maas-Argonnen-Offensive die Distinguished Service Medal verliehen. Middleton wurde anschließend Ausbilder an der Infanterie-Schule in Fort Benning; dem Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, dem United States Army War College in Washington, D.C. und schließlich an der Louisiana State University. 1937 zog sich Middleton aus der Armee zurück, um ein Angebot als Dekan in der Universitätsleitung und später als Vizepräsident anzunehmen. 1942 wurde Middleton wieder in den aktiven Dienst einberufen und kommandierte die 45. US-Infanteriedivision, die er in Einsätzen im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Nordafrika, Sizilien (→ Operation Husky) und in den Schlachten um Salerno führte. Im Dezember 1943 bekam er das Kommando über das übertragen, mit dem er nach der Landung in der Normandie im Juni 1944 eine bedeutende Rolle während der Operation Cobra und anschließend in der Schlacht um die Bretagne spielte. Middletons herausragende Führungsqualität machte sich besonders in der Ardennenoffensive bemerkbar, bei der er weitsichtige Entscheidungen traf und sich damit eine große Anerkennung beim alliierten Oberkommando schuf. Nach seiner aktiven Tätigkeit in der US-Armee nach Kriegsende wurde Middleton ab 1950 Präsident der LSU. Der Armee blieb er aber in vielen beratenden Funktionen treu. Middleton, der in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, wohnte, verstarb 1976. (de)

- Lieutenant General Troy Houston Middleton (12 October 1889 – 9 October 1976) was a distinguished educator and senior officer of the United States Army who served as a corps commander in the European Theatre during World War II and later as president of Louisiana State University (LSU). Enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1910, Middleton was first assigned to the 29th Infantry Regiment, where he worked as a clerk. Here he did not become an infantryman as he had hoped, but he was pressed into service playing football, a sport strongly endorsed by the army. Following two years of enlisted service, Middleton was transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was given the opportunity to compete for an officer's commission. Of the 300 individuals who were vying for a commission, 56 were selected, and four of them, including Middleton, would become general officers. As a new second lieutenant, Middleton was assigned to the 7th Infantry Regiment in Galveston, Texas, which was soon pressed into service, responding to events created by the Mexican Revolution. Middleton spent seven months doing occupation duty in the Mexican port city of Veracruz, and later was assigned to Douglas, Arizona, where his unit skirmished with some of Pancho Villa's fighters. Upon the entry of the United States into World War I, in April 1917, Middleton was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division, and soon saw action as a battalion commander during the Second Battle of the Marne. Three months later, following some minor support roles, his unit led the attack during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and Middleton became a regimental commander. Because of his exceptional battlefield performance, on 14 October 1918 he was promoted to the rank of colonel, becoming, at the age of 29, the youngest officer of that rank in the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). He also received the Army Distinguished Service Medal for his exemplary service. Following World War I, Middleton served at the U.S. Army School of Infantry, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff School, the U.S. Army War College, and as commandant of cadets at LSU. He retired from the army in 1937 to become dean of administration and later comptroller and acting vice president at LSU. His tenure at LSU was fraught with difficulty, as Middleton became one of the key players in helping the university recover from a major scandal where nearly a million dollars had been embezzled. Recalled to service in early 1942, upon American entry into World War II, Middleton became CG of the 45th Infantry Division during the Sicily and Salerno battles in Italy, and then in March 1944 moved up to command the VIII Corps. His leadership in Operation Cobra during the Battle of Normandy led to the capture of the important port city of Brest, France, and for his success he was awarded a second Distinguished Service Medal by General George Patton. His greatest World War II achievement, however, was in his decision to hold the important city of Bastogne, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge. Following this battle, and his corps' relentless push across Germany until reaching Czechoslovakia, he was recognized by both General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, and Patton as being a corps commander of extraordinary abilities. Middleton logged 480 days in combat during World War II, more than any other American general officer. Retiring from the army again in 1945, Middleton returned to LSU and in 1951 was appointed to the university presidency, a position he held for 11 years, while continuing to serve the army in numerous consultative capacities. He resided in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, until his death in 1976 and was buried in Baton Rouge National Cemetery. Both the Air Force/Army ROTC building at Mississippi State University, Middleton's alma mater, and the library at Louisiana State University are named for him. On 19 June 2020, also known as Juneteenth, the LSU Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to remove his name from the main library at LSU as a result of his segregationist policies while LSU president. His name, plaques, and bust were removed that same afternoon. (en)

- "My Dear General Middleton, Again the exigencies of war have separated the VIII Corps and the Third Army. We are all most regretful. None of us will ever forget the stark valor with which you and your Corps contested every foot of ground during von Rundstedt's attack. Your decision to hold BASTOGNE was a stroke of genius. Subsequently, the relentless advance of the VIII Corps to the KYLL River, thence to the RHINE at its most difficult sector, resulting in your victorious and rapid advance to the MULDE River, are events which will live in history and quicken the pulse of every soldier. Please accept for yourself and transmit to the officers and men of your command my sincere thanks and admiration for the outstanding successes achieved. May all good fortune attend you. Very sincerely," (en)
