As a lieutenant colonel commanding 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry in South Korea, Powell was very close to his division commander, Major General Henry "Gunfighter" Emerson, whom he regarded as one of the most caring officers he ever met. Emerson insisted his troops train at night to fight a possible North Korean attack, and made them repeatedly watch the television film Brian's Song to promote racial harmony. ] (]) 23:19, 11 February 2023 (UTC) |

== Word/Spelling Correction == |
|
The first sentence is really complex with four commas, and "that" after a comma is either wrong or really unusual. Also, the note at the top of the article reminds us to use past tense in his article, and "affects" is present tense. ] (]) 16:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC) |

In the second to last sentence in the second paragraph, it states “…many command and staff positions and riding to the rank of four-star general.” I believe the word “riding” should be edited to read “rising”. ] (]) 23:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC) |

Exactly why is it necessary to history to include he was vaccinated if there is no mention of covid as a direct cause of his death. How about we remove that portion and just mention how he died. ] (]) 22:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC) |
