Maj. Gen. Jason Bohm, USMC (ret.), Author/Speaker

The fighting prowess of the United States Marines is second to none, but few know of the Corps’ humble beginnings and what it achieved during the early years of the American Revolution. Jason Bohm rectifies this oversight with his eye-opening Washington’s Marines: The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution, 1775–1777.

Washington’s Marines is the first complete study of its kind to weave the men, strategy, performance, and personalities of the Corps’ formative early years into a single compelling account. The sweeping prose relies heavily on primary research and the author’s own extensive military knowledge. Enhanced with original maps and illustrations, Washington’s Marines will take its place as one of the finest studies of its kind.

Jason Q. Bohm is a retired United States Marine Corps major general who last served as the Inspector General of the Marine Corps from 2022 to 2024. He served as the Commanding General of the Marine Corps Recruiting Command from 2020 to 2022. Previously, he served as the Chief of Staff of the Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO from 2018 to 2020. He is the author of the book From the Cold War to ISIL: One Marine’s Journey, which was published in 2019.[4] On June 24, 2024, Maj. Gen. Bohm announced that he was taking over as the dean of the Helms School of Government at Liberty University.
