New Army PEO on the way

brown-fuller.jpg

A tipster told me this morning and I have confirmed with the Army that Brig. Gen. Mark Brown will soon be leaving as the commanding general of PEO Soldier to be replaced by Brig. Gen. Pete N. Fuller.

[Brown is pictured left]

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Martin Downie told me Brown will soon become Deputy for Acquisition and Systems Management, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) in Washington, though Downie wasn’t able to tell me when this would all go down.

Fuller, currently the Deputy Commander for Systems of Systems Integration, United States Army Research, Development and Engineering Command at Fort Belvoir, will take Brown’s place.

I don’t know Fuller, but I’ve chatting with Brig. Gen. Brown a bit over the short time he’s been PEO Soldier and he seems like a technically proficient acquisition officer who’s a straight shooter. He told me during an interview about the Dragon Skin testing that he wanted his relations with the media to be “open kimono” — a far stretch from the edicts of his predecessors who kept information about programs that effect almost every Joe to themselves.

I wish BGN Brown the best of luck and look forward to keeping the spirit of openness going when Fuller takes the helm as PEO Soldier. He’s going to have tighter budgets, a changing administration and lots of recapitalization issues hitting him full force when he arrives, and we’ll look forward to talking with him as he decides how to re-equip the force for a new paradigm.

    We have to consider that the GO corp in Army has a style of politics, the likes of Brown must respect. But I found him to be closed minded in his position as PEO soldier to the extent that he and his team batted out any competing or out performing system from their review and networked at that. Don’t try going here or there, we fixed it. No kidding. Goal number one of General Brown, get to the next level of advancement, and before his mentor well known retires; goal number two maybe to do with the soldier in the field if expedient for the career. Of course his first mentor was Mr. Claude Bolton who was forced to leave Army with a procurement problem or two.
