Following the second [[Battle of Lexington]], Mifflin focused on recruiting and training troops for the Continental Army.  His passion and patriotism, coupled with his great natural ability, led to rapid advancement.  On June 23, 1775, Mifflin was appointed as General George Washington's aide-de-camp; later that same year, on August 14, he was appointed the Continental Army's first Quartermaster General.  He served in this position for the remainder of the war, but refused to lead from the rear; he was present at the battles of Trenton, Princeton and assisted in the defense of Philadelphia.  Mifflin finally resigned his comission and post on August 17, 1778. <ref>http://www.qmfound.com/MG_Thomas_Mifflin.htm</ref>
