Marion assumed responsibility of an acquisition workforce
of more than
3,000 military, government civilian and contractor personnel and an annual aver- age budget of more than $7.5 billion, the largest procurement budget in the Army.
Marion is no stranger to PEO Aviation, most recently serving as the project man- ager for cargo helicopters before leaving in May 2013 to take an assignment as the assistant deputy for acquisition and systems management in the Office of the ASA(ALT), where Shyu came to know Marion well.
“Bob is an excellent choice to lead this program executive office and build on its achievements,” said Shyu at Marion’s promotion ceremony. Shyu noted that Marion possesses many of the leadership traits of President Dwight Eisenhower, for whom he has a deep respect. “He
admires that Eisenhower was a humble leader who didn’t need to take credit for his accomplishments. He admires that Eisenhower cared about getting the job done, finding common ground, taking responsibility when things didn’t go as planned, and always giving credit to his subordinates. He admires
the selfless
service of Eisenhower and the fact that he embodied our Army core values,” Shyu said.
“Bob Marion has taken these admirable traits of President Eisenhower and made them his own as he moved through the Army ranks. Tese traits have contrib- uted to his success and will continue to define him as he assumes increasing lev- els of leadership,” she said.
“Tis is about all of you,” Marion said at the ceremony, “all my family and friends, all our partners in industry, all of our partners across this post and in the Pentagon, all of us pulling together and getting things done.”
