PEO MISSILES AND SPACE MARKS CHANGE OF LEADERS Te PEO Missiles and Space community celebrated the promotion and assignment of its new leader, BG L. Neil Thurgood, on Feb. 26 with a promotion ceremony and change of charter at Redstone Arsenal, AL.
Te
Senate
approved Turgood’s pro-
motion to brigadier general on Jan. 1. During the ceremony at Redstone, he received his first star in the presence of his
father, LTC Leon Turgood (U.S.
Army, Ret) and his brother, MG Keith L. Turgood (U.S. Army Reserve, Ret). Te Honorable Heidi Shyu, the Army Acquisition Executive and ASA(ALT), officiated at the promotion ceremony and change of charter.
Such ceremonies are important, she said, to recognize that the new leader “must become more than he was yesterday. Trough ceremony, he is set apart and becomes a new leader. Trough ceremony, we recognize those who have come before and we must build on the legacy of their achievements,”
the Redstone Rocket quoted Shyu as saying.
Turgood had been DPEO Missiles and Space. Barry J. Pike, SES, who was serv- ing as acting PEO, has returned to the position of DPEO.
Turgood thanked the “mentors who have taken the time to teach and coach me through the years … who gave a young man lots of opportunities to be successful and opened a lot of doors.” Growing up in the Army, his parents provided their family “with different views of the world we traveled around,” said Turgood, who honored Vietnam’s prisoners of war and the nation’s veterans, whose “selfless ser- vice have created a great legacy and shown us there is more to life, a greater purpose” and that “each task is important.”
Looking ahead, Turgood said, “Te
accomplishments of the past will be challenged by the resource-constricted environment of our future. As Winston Churchill said, ‘We have run out of money; now we have to think.’ I have no doubt you are up to the challenge.”
