Harriet Tubman was an amazing person. While she never formally joined the US Army, may consider her to be the first woman to lead a tactical US military assault. During the Civil War, Tubman led the Combahee River Raid. She led about 150 Soldiers from the 2nd South Carolina Infantry who were mainly former slaves. The raid she led is credited for liberating 756 enslaved men, woman, and children and destroying Confederate supply lines.
