Douglas Abbott Macgregor is a retired U.S. Army colonel and government official, and an author, consultant, and television commentator.[1] He played a significant role on the battlefield in the 1990-91 Gulf War and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yu-goslavia. His 1997 book Breaking the Phalanx established him as an influential if unconventional theorist of military strategy. His thinking contributed to the US strat-egy in its 2003 invasion of Iraq.
After leaving the military in 2004, he became more politically active. In 2020, Presi-dent Donald Trump proposed Macgregor as ambassador to Germany, but the Sen-ate blocked the nomination. On November 11, 2020, a Pentagon spokesperson an-nounced that Macgregor had been hired to serve as Senior Advisor to the Acting Secretary of Defense, a post he held for less than three months. Trump also ap-pointed him to the board of West Point Academy, his alma mater. These appoint-ments proved controversial due to his history of racist comments.[2] He regularly contributes to Fox News, where his opinions on Russia have caused controversy.
