Third Army was tasked with securing the right flank of the invasion force. When his troops encountered
unexpected resistance, Patton quickly adjusted their axis of attack, ensuring a successful outcome.

tactics accordingly. Example: During the Battle of the Bulge (December 1944 - January 1945), Patton's
Third Army was tasked with relieving the besieged town of Bastogne. Despite heavy snow and icy roads,
Patton's forces rapidly adapted and executed a successful relief mission.

3. *Inspiring Motivation*: Patton was a skilled motivator who inspired his troops to achieve exceptional
