Ranger Hall of Fame
Retired Army Brig. Gen. James E. Mace, a native of Hampton and former commandant of The Citadel, is the first graduate of The Citadel to be inducted into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame.
He demonstrated valor and leadership throughout his active-duty Army career, including two combat tours in Vietnam and one in the Dominican Republic. As a Ranger battalion commander and the first Ranger training brigade commander, Mace influenced and guided countless Rangers while he helped bring the training to the highest levels.
During combat, he used the skills and perseverance he learned in Ranger School to be a successful leader and commander. He is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device and four Oak Leaf Clusters (three for valor), Army Commendation Medal with "V" Device and four oak leaf clusters (three for valor) and the Purple Heart.
As the commander of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, he trained and prepared his Rangers to invade Grenada, where they were successful. Mace authored the first Ranger Field Manual, and his final contribution to the Rangers was transforming the Ranger Department of the Infantry School into the Ranger Training Brigade.
Mace, with two of his three degrees from The Citadel, is retired and lives in Goose Creek with his wife of more than 43 years, Dr. Frances Anne Mace.
Mace serves on the boards of the National Ranger Memorial Foundation and South Carolina Federal Credit Union and is president of Palmetto Hunt Club II LLC.
