Is there modern precedent for this?

I thought the modern US military was very big on process and tradition in the development of officers.

WW2, William Knudsen, president of General Motors, was directly commissioned in as a 3 star general. He was in charge of War Production. Sometimes, deep industry expertise can’t wait for OCS. Granted, this was wartime.
