LTC John Kilgallon was named Product Manager, Army Human Resource System (PM AHRS), during a Change of Charter Ceremony held June 17, 2005, at Fort Belvoir, VA. The ceremony was held at Headquarters, Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) and was officiated by Lee Harvey, Deputy Program Executive Officer, PEO EIS.

Kilgallon is a 1986 Distinguished Military Graduate of Johns Hopkins University and has been an Army Acquisition Corps (AAC) member since 1995. He replaces LTC Joseph Klumpp, who has been at AHRS’s helm for the last 3 years.

During his tenure, Klumpp’s AHRS team replaced Standard Installation/Division Personnel System-3 (SIDPERS-3) with a Web-based Electronic Military Personnel Office (e-MILPO) system. The e-MILPO system won a Government Computer News Agency Award in October 2004. The AHRS team developed the myERB Web site, which has produced more than 3 million Enlisted Record Briefs in 18 months. The AHRS team also completed the migration of personnel tempo functionality to eMILPO. And most recently, the team developed, tested and fielded Deployed Theater Accountability Software, which the U.S. Marine Corps has adopted. This has saved the Corps millions in research and development dollars.

Klumpp is retiring after 21 years of active service. He received a regular Army commission upon graduation from James Madison University in 1984 and has been an AAC member since 1992.
