His military education included completion of the Adjutant General Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the United States Army Command and General Staff College, and the United States Army War College. 

Lieutenant General Maude understood the human spirit. He understood that the well being of the Army – soldiers, civilians, retirees, veterans and their families – is inextricably linked to our readiness as a force. The success of the “Army of One” campaign demonstrates his broad understanding of human nature and his creative instincts in delivering on that understanding. He understood that young men and women today are looking for something greater than self and are able to accept the notion of duty to country as the noblest of endeavors. 

Lieutenant General Maude was a soldier for more than 35 years, during which time he served in a variety of important command and staff positions, culminating in his assignment as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, United States Army.

Lieutenant General Maude’s influence will continue to strengthen the Army’s readiness and our Nation’s defense of freedom and liberty for years to come. His love of soldiers and his devotion to the Army was deep and genuine. Simply put, Lieutenant General Maude loved soldiers; he loved the Army; he loved this wonderful country. His every action cheerfully reflected this commitment to duty. 

Lieutenant General Maude was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (with three Oak Leaf Clusters), Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal (with four Oak Leaf Clusters), Army Commendation Medal (with two Oak Leaf Clusters), Army Achievement Medal, and the Army General Staff Identification Badge.
