Synopsis: On the way back from taking his C.O. to the medics, Rock's jeep is hit by a tank. A general runs from the woods and attacks the tank with grenades, but is shot. The general tells Rock that he wanted to be a fighting man, but was told he was too efficient running supply lines to be assigned to combat. As he dies the general gives Rock his stars and tells him to let them see action. Rock takes the general's helmet and leads the remnants of a retreating company to a victory over the Germans. Rock continues to play the part of the general, even though Easy will be coming to relieve them.
