I would say, yes! He has so much experience working through his positions over the years.
He would also have a Deputy Commander/Executive Officer, Chief of Staff, a G3 Operation Officer, and a BUNCH of other special staff officers and S2 Intel cell to help him if he was not sure on the 3 courses of action to take when planning for an attack or maneuver. If they have time, they would weigh the pros and cons when picking the right course of action. MSG (Join to see) MAJ Ken Landgren SGM (Join to see) PFC (Join to see)

Got to love that suspension until it makes it fly which I did twice. Nothing like seeing the tank fly in slow motion until the 70 ton vehicle lands hard in the desert. It felt very violent.

MAJ Ken Landgren I will have to find a picture of a sergeant who is showing the broken strut rod on his tank. She had the skirt open so you could easily see it. I have the picture somewhere but I haven't scanned it.
Here is a picture of my mother in the Gunner station oh, here is a picture of me at Fort Knox sweet tea in the cctt, I was the Gunner of course and a picture of me at Fort Knox at my armor Captain's career course.

In theory, yes. Both Infantry and Armor are maneuver officers. But when you become a General you are no longer infantry. The picture below is the 82ND ABN DIV commander. He was infantry but you will not see any infantry branch insignia. So, in reality you can't be an Infantry General.

This is straight out of the latest edition (26 Jan 22) of AR 670-1:
21–9. Branch insignia
a. General officers follow the guidance below for wear of branch insignia.
(1) The Chief of Staff, former Chiefs of Staff, and generals of the Army (five-star) may prescribe their branch insignia.
(2) All other general officers may wear branch insignia at their option. If they choose this option, general officers will wear the branch insignia for the position to which they are appointed, or for their duty assignment.

General Officers lose their branch affiliation, but not their branch affection when promoted to Brigadier General.
