Albert "Bert" Newton Stubblebine III (February 6, 1930 – February 6, 2017) was a United States Army major general whose active duty career spanned 32 years. Beginning as an armor officer, he later transferred to intelligence. He is credited with redesigning the U.S. Army intelligence architecture during his time as commanding general of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) from 1981 to 1984, after which he retired from active service.
After retirement it became widely known that Stubblebine during his active service had an interest in psychic warfare which had hopes to develop an army of soldiers with special powers, such as the ability to walk through walls.
Stubblebine graduated from the United States Military Academy (Class of '52) and subsequently received a masters degree in chemical engineering from Columbia University. He married his wife, Geraldine, in 1952; they would ultimately adopt two children. Beginning his military career as an armor officer, he later transferred to military intelligence.
In 1968, Stubblebine was transferred to the staff of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam and later was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division as its G-2 (Intelligence officer). For his service in Vietnam War, Stubblebine was awarded with Legion of Merit and Bronze Star Medal.
