George Washington was named leader.
"Commander and Chief" no he was not, but "Commander in Chief" yes he was. George Washington was appointed Major General and then elected by Congress to be Commander in chief in 1775. In fact he was the very first Commander in Chief.SFC FairfieldNot quite. The congressional resolution appointed him "General in Chief with rank of general." That is to say, his rank was general, equivalent to a modern four star general (that insignia had not yet been thought of) and his title was General in Chief. Obviously a genral in chief and a commander in chif are pretty much the same thing and I do not know if the latter phrase was ever used during the War for Independence or if it's use stems only from the Constitution.
