Maj. Douglas Richardson has built his career on the simple but solid belief that focus is the foundation for overcoming any challenge. Through shifting missions and unpredictable conditions, he has learned that resilience isn’t innate—it’s achieved through the willingness to adapt, learn and grow. For Richardson, obstacles are not barriers, but opportunities to become stronger and more capable.
For Ebonie McClintock-Bennett, understanding the ‘why’ behind the work is not optional—it is essential. That perspective provides the context that turns requirements into informed decisions and ensures each action supports a broader mission. With an open mindset and a willingness to adapt, she approaches procurement as both a strategic and evolving discipline, helping the Army sustain the innovation, preparedness and responsiveness required to support the warfighter.
