'''Basil L. Plumley''' (January 1, 1920 – October 10, 2012) was a career soldier and airborne combat infantryman in the [[United States Army]] who rose to the rank of [[command sergeant major]]. As a [[combat]] veteran of [[World War II]], the [[Korean War]] and the [[Vietnam War]], he is most noted for his actions during the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] in Vietnam.
==Military career==
Plumley enlisted in the United States Army as a private on March 31, 1942. He was a gliderman of the [[320th Field Artillery Regiment|320th Glider Field Artillery Battalion]], [[82nd Airborne Division]]. He saw action during the [[Invasion of Normandy]], and [[Operation Market Garden]].
Plumley participated in two glider assaults in the [[European theatre of World War II|European Theater]]. His first was on June 6, 1944, during the [[Invasion of Normandy]], and his second was for [[Operation Market Garden]] on Sept. 18, 1944. Plumley was shot in the hand the same day for which he received the [[Purple Heart]] and was awarded multiple decorations for his service in World War II.
Basil Plumley was stationed from 1950 through 1953 at [[Fort Campbell]], Kentucky with the [[187th Airborne Infantry Regiment]], [[101st Airborne Division]] where he would go on and serve in the [[Korean War]], making one more combat jump.<ref>{{cite web|title=Basil L.

He fought in Vietnam with the 1st Battalion, [[7th Cavalry Regiment]]. He participated in the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] in Vietnam in 1965, under the command of [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Hal Moore]], who praised Plumley as an outstanding [[Non-commissioned officer|NCO]] and leader in the 1992 book about this battle, ''[[We Were Soldiers Once… and Young]]''. The book was the basis for the 2002 film ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'', in which Plumley was played by actor [[Sam Elliott]]. Plumley was known affectionately by his soldiers as "Old Iron Jaw". <!-- TODO: Vietnam war record should be inserted here, but I don't want to just repeat the lead, and don't have a source. -->
[[Command Sergeant Major]] Basil Plumley served in the [[Republic of Korea]] between 1972 and 1973.
He retired as a command sergeant major on December 31, 1974, having been awarded 28 different personal, unit, campaign and service awards and decorations in almost 33 years of military service, spanning [[World War II]], the [[Korean War]] and the [[Vietnam War]]. After his retirement, he worked 15 more years for the army as a civilian in administration at Martin Army Community Hospital and at various medical clinics around [[Fort Benning]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], retiring again in 1990.<ref name="Died92">{{cite news |title=Plumley, veteran of 3 wars, dies at age 92 |url=http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/11/basil-plumley-army-veteran-of-three-wars-dies-at-92/ |work=CNN |date=11 October 2012|publisher=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref>
==Personal life==
Plumley was born on January 1, 1920, in [[Shady Spring, West Virginia]], the second son and fifth child of coal miner Clay H. Plumley (September 19, 1879<ref>United States, Selective Service System.

After two years of high-school, he worked as a chauffeur/driver before enlisting in the US Army on March 31, 1942. In 1948/49, Plumley married Deurice Dillon, who died on May 28, 2012, after 63 years of marriage. Plumley died of cancer after nine days in Columbus Hospice ([[Columbus, Georgia]]), on October 10, 2012. He is survived by his daughter, Debbie Kimble, a granddaughter, and two great-grandchildren.<ref name="LC Obit" />
==In popular culture==
Plumley was a prominent and central figure in the 1992 book ''[[We Were Soldiers Once… and Young]]'' by Lt. Gen [[Hal Moore]] and [[Joseph L. Galloway]] about the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] and was portrayed by actor [[Sam Elliott]] in the 2002 [[We Were Soldiers|film adaption]].
==Awards and decorations==
There have been disputes about the medals and decorations Plumley was entitled to wear and allegations by Brian Siddall in 2015 that Plumley wore unauthorized combat and valor awards that exaggerated his wartime achievements.<ref name="mil1">Matthew Cox: [https://www.military.com/daily-news/2016/05/17/army-investigating-we-were-soldiers-legend-for-inflating-award.html Army Investigating 'We Were Soldiers' Legend for Inflating Awards], Military.com, 2018</ref><ref name="med1">Brian Siddall: [http://www.airborneinnormandy.com/plumley_all.htm The Original Plumley Article], Airborne In Normandy, 2015</ref><ref name="med2">[http://www.military.com/sites/default/files/media/benefits/pdf/2016/05/plumley_army_memo.pdf Army HR Memo about Awards and Decorations for CSM Plumley], Department of the Army, U.S. Army Human Resources Command, Awards and Decorations Branch, 2015</ref> The resolving of the dispute is hampered by the death of Plumley three years prior to the allegations and the personnel records of the army, that are not uncommon to be in error, especially during war times and prior to electronic files.

'''Basil L. Plumley''' (January 1, 1920 – October 10, 2012) was a career soldier and airborne combat infantryman in the [[United States Army]] who rose to the rank of [[command sergeant major]]. As a [[combat]] veteran of [[World War II]], the [[Korean War]] and the [[Vietnam War]], he is most noted for his actions during the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] in Vietnam.
==Military career==
Plumley enlisted in the United States Army as a private on March 31, 1942. He was a gliderman of the [[320th Field Artillery Regiment|320th Glider Field Artillery Battalion]], [[82nd Airborne Division]]. He saw action during the [[Invasion of Normandy]], and [[Operation Market Garden]].
Plumley participated in two glider assaults in the [[European theatre of World War II|European Theater]]. His first was on June 6, 1944, during the [[Invasion of Normandy]], and his second was for [[Operation Market Garden]] on Sept. 18, 1944. Plumley was shot in the hand the same day for which he received the [[Purple Heart]] and was awarded multiple decorations for his service in World War II.
Basil Plumley was stationed from 1950 through 1953 at [[Fort Campbell]], Kentucky with the [[187th Airborne Infantry Regiment]], [[101st Airborne Division]] where he would go on and serve in the [[Korean War]], making one more combat jump.<ref>{{cite web|title=Basil L.

He fought in Vietnam with the 1st Battalion, [[7th Cavalry Regiment]]. He participated in the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] in Vietnam in 1965, under the command of [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Hal Moore]], who praised Plumley as an outstanding [[Non-commissioned officer|NCO]] and leader in the 1992 book about this battle, ''[[We Were Soldiers Once… and Young]]''. The book was the basis for the 2002 film ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'', in which Plumley was played by actor [[Sam Elliott]]. Plumley was known affectionately by his soldiers as "Old Iron Jaw". <!-- TODO: Vietnam war record should be inserted here, but I don't want to just repeat the lead, and don't have a source. -->
[[Command Sergeant Major]] Basil Plumley served in the [[Republic of Korea]] between 1972 and 1973.
He retired as a command sergeant major on December 31, 1974, having been awarded 28 different personal, unit, campaign and service awards and decorations in almost 33 years of military service, spanning [[World War II]], the [[Korean War]] and the [[Vietnam War]]. After his retirement, he worked 15 more years for the army as a civilian in administration at Martin Army Community Hospital and at various medical clinics around [[Fort Benning]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], retiring again in 1990.<ref name="Died92">{{cite news |title=Plumley, veteran of 3 wars, dies at age 92 |url=http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/11/basil-plumley-army-veteran-of-three-wars-dies-at-92/ |work=CNN |date=11 October 2012|publisher=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref>

After two years of high-school, he worked as a chauffeur/driver before enlisting in the US Army on March 31, 1942. In 1948/49, Plumley married Deurice Dillon, who died on May 28, 2012, after 63 years of marriage. Plumley died of cancer after nine days in Columbus Hospice ([[Columbus, Georgia]]), on October 10, 2012. He is survived by his daughter, Debbie Kimble, a granddaughter, and two great-grandchildren.<ref name="LC Obit" />
==In popular culture==
Plumley was a prominent and central figure in the 1992 book ''[[We Were Soldiers Once… and Young]]'' by Lt. Gen [[Hal Moore]] and [[Joseph L. Galloway]] about the [[Battle of Ia Drang]] and was portrayed by actor [[Sam Elliott]] in the 2002 [[We Were Soldiers|film adaption]].
==Awards and decorations==
There have been disputes about the medals and decorations Plumley was entitled to wear and allegations by Brian Siddall in 2015 that Plumley wore unauthorized combat and valor awards that exaggerated his wartime achievements.<ref name="mil1">Matthew Cox: [https://www.military.com/daily-news/2016/05/17/army-investigating-we-were-soldiers-legend-for-inflating-award.html Army Investigating 'We Were Soldiers' Legend for Inflating Awards], Military.com, 2018</ref><ref name="med1">Brian Siddall: [http://www.airborneinnormandy.com/plumley_all.htm The Original Plumley Article], Airborne In Normandy, 2015</ref><ref name="med2">[http://www.military.com/sites/default/files/media/benefits/pdf/2016/05/plumley_army_memo.pdf Army HR Memo about Awards and Decorations for CSM Plumley], Department of the Army, U.S. Army Human Resources Command, Awards and Decorations Branch, 2015</ref> The resolving of the dispute is hampered by the death of Plumley HOLA YOU IS SUCH BIG NERD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE SO DUMB AND RETARDED three years prior to the allegations and the personnel records of the army, that are not uncommon to be in error, especially during war times and prior to electronic files.
