Question

This general (emphasize) names a report commissioned by a bureau led by Thomas MacDonald in the aftermath of an expedition from Washington, DC, to Oakland that damaged 88 bridges.

A map of strategic (10[1])convoy routes named for this general later became a blueprint for the Interstate Highway System. Due to the death of Frederick (10[1])Funston, this general was chosen to lead a force that was partly put under the command of Henry Rawlinson and Douglas Haig.
