[编辑] 早年生活
卡伍德在西維吉尼亞亨廷顿出生和長大。在十歲時父親因交通意外逝世，成為了家中年紀最大的男人，後獲得母親的信賴。由於家中的經濟困難和希望從有關軍事生產，因此就讀了杭庭頓馬歇爾大學一年就離開。其後在生活雜誌中閱讀了一編有關傘兵訓練的文章，該文章講述傘兵訓練及其多麼困難，並在1942年，卡伍德應徵入伍及加入傘兵部隊。
[编辑] 軍事訓練
卡伍德shot through the ranks of the company eventually becoming the 連軍士長 shortly before D日 (芝加哥/霸王行動). Carwood was always keeping the men's spirits high, and pushed them to their full potentials. This was recognized by the officers of E連, the 101空降師, and the 506傘兵團.
Image:Ccarwoodlipton.jpg Even closer to the D日 invasion of 法國, Carwood and several other non-commissioned officers decided to turn in their stripes, and requested they be transferred to another company. This was because the non-commissioned officers believed their leader, then Captain Herbert Sobel to be an incompetent leader. Carwood and the others were given some verbal abuse but were otherwise left unpunished (Sgt. Myron Ranney was demoted to 法國, and another man was transferred out of the company, but the NCOs were not punished).

Carwood was not among the original assault team of around ten guys, but joined up the next morning with Easy, bringing the rest of the company.
