PRICE RETIRES; HUGHES IS NEW PEO C3T
BG Daniel P. Hughes
MG N. Lee S. Price, the first woman to serve as a PEO in the Army, stepped down as PEO Command, Control and Communications – Tactical
(PEO C3T) on Sept. 4, passing the organization’s charter to BG Daniel P. Hughes, and retired from the Army after almost 38 years of service. She began her military career when she enlisted in 1975.
Price assumed leadership of PEO C3T in November 2009. She oversaw critical upgrades to the tactical network, the Army’s top modernization priority, which has delivered lifesaving communications capabilities to Soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and South Korea. Even before the financial pressures of sequestration, Price infused PEO C3T with a culture of efficiency that increased capabilities with re- duced resources. In the first two years of Price’s tenure, PEO C3T won back-to-back David Packard Awards for Acquisition Excellence.
“Tough it is bittersweet to leave, I am so very proud of what we have accomplished at PEO C3T,” Price said. “BG Hughes will undoubtedly continue to take this organization to great heights.” A retirement ceremony for Price followed the Sept. 4 change of charter, capping Price’s Army career, more than 27
years of which she spent in Army Acquisition. Price’s acquisi- tion service includes a wide variety of assignments, including as deputy acquisition executive for the U.S. Special Operations Command and Project Manager Defense Communications and Army Transmission Systems. She received the U.S. Army Acquisition Corps (AAC) Project Manager of the Year Award in 2004.
Hughes takes the reins of PEO C3T after a dual assignment as CG, Natick Soldier Systems Center and DCG, U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command. He was a key contributor to the Army’s network modernization during his previous assignment as director of system-of-systems inte- gration in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology.
As PEO C3T, Hughes will guide a workforce of more than 1,600 personnel who develop, field and support more than 40 Acquisition Category I, II and III programs, executing an annual budget of more than $3 billion. He will be assisted by another new leader at PEO C3T, Ms. Mary Woods, who was named deputy PEO in May, succeeding Mr. William “Bill” Sverapa, who retired.
“PEO C3T has a well-deserved reputation for getting the job done,” Hughes said. “With the foundation laid by MG Price and her predecessors, and our talented, dedicated staff, I am confident the PEO will continue its track record of excellence.”
