“Born in Staten Island, New York, the son of accomplished illustrator and artist, Laura Nevitt Dupuy, and noted military historian, R. Ernest Dupuy, Trevor Dupuy followed in his father's footsteps.

Dupuy attended West Point, graduating in the class of 1938. During World War II he commanded a U.S. Army artillery battalion, a Chinese artillery group, and an artillery detachment from the British 36th Infantry Division. He was always proud of the fact that he had more combat time in Burma than any other American, and received decorations for service or valour from the U.S., British, and Chinese governments. After the war Dupuy served in the United States Department of Defense Operations Division[4] from 1945 to 1947, and as military assistant to the Under Secretary of the Army from 1947 to 1948. He graduated from the Joint Services Staff College in England in April 1949.[5] Dupuy was a member of the original Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) staff in Paris under Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and Matthew Ridgway from 1950 to 1952.

Dupuy began the academic phase of his career in 1952, when Harvard University appointed him as a Professor of Military Science and Tactics in the ROTC program.[6] While there, he helped found the Harvard Defense Studies Program (directed from 1958 to 1971 by Henry Kissinger[7]). He left Harvard in 1956 to become director of the program in military studies at Ohio State University. After retiring from active military duty in 1958, he served as a visiting professor in the International Relations Program at Rangoon University (now Yangon University) in Burma. From 1960 to 1962 Dupuy worked for the Institute for Defense Analyses, a government-funded think tank.”
