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.
