Operations</a> during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. </p><p>Arrowsmith was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1918, promoted to first lieutenant in 1919, while stationed at <a href="/wiki/Camp_Fremont" title="Camp Fremont">Camp Fremont</a> California. During the 1920s he was detailed to the 3rd Engineer Regiment, <a href="/wiki/Schofield_Barracks" title="Schofield Barracks">Schofield Barracks</a>, Hawaii, the 2nd Cincinnati Engineer District, and the 13th Engineer Regiment, <a href="/wiki/Fort_Belvoir" title="Fort Belvoir">Camp Humphreys</a>, VA. From 1930 to 1933 he was assigned to the San Francisco Engineer District, and promoted to captain in 1933. He was detailed to the Office of the Corps of Engineers in Washington, D.C. from April 1933 to July 1938, when he was assigned to the Missouri River Division, COE. He was promoted to major in 1940, and lieutenant colonel in 1942, when he was sent to <a href="/wiki/Camp_Blanding" title="Camp Blanding">Camp Blanding</a>, Florida. as commander of the 45th Engineer General Service Regiment. In Nov. 1942 he went with these troops to India, where Arrowsmith was placed in command of Base Section 3 in Ledo, <a href="/wiki/Assam" title="Assam">Assam</a>, which was responsible for construction of the <a href="/wiki/Ledo_Road" title="Ledo Road">Ledo Road</a>. Under Arrowsmith's command, the road reached the <a href="/wiki/Patkai" title="Patkai">Patkai</a> mountains and crossed into <a href="/wiki/Burma" class="mw-redirect" title="Burma">Burma</a>. Stillwell, while recognizing the problems that diversion of roadbuilding assets to airfield construction had caused, was still unsatisfied with progress and began searching for a replacement. <a href="/wiki/Lewis_A._Pick" title="Lewis A. Pick">Lewis A. Pick</a> replaced him as Chief Road Engineer in October 1943, but retained command of the 45th Eng, GSR. While Arrowsmith received a temporary promotion in July 1943 to brigadier general, he reverted to colonel in Jan. 1944. In Feb. 1944 he was detailed to the XXI Corps as Corps Engineer at Camp Polk, La., later accompanying these troops into France and Germany. </p><p>From Sept. 1945 to Nov. 1947 he was assigned to the U.S. Office of Military Government for Germany. From Jan. 1948 to Oct. 1949 he was commanding officer of the Engineer Research and Development Laboratories at <a href="/wiki/Fort_Belvoir" title="Fort Belvoir">Fort Belvoir</a>.
