ABERDEEN, MD (June 4, 2015) – “Larger than life” was the term that echoed throughout the audience about Maj. Gen. Harold Greene during a small ceremony held within at the Program Executive Office for Intelligence & Electronic Warfare command suite on June 4.

With family, friends and colleagues from throughout the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) community in attendance as well as those who were deployed with Greene, Stephen Kreider, Program Executive Officer, Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors along with Dr. Susan Myers (Greene’s wife), jointly unveiled a new display honoring Greene who was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan in August.

At the center of the new display is a bronze plaque of Greene with the following inscription “MG Harold Greene, the highest ranking officer killed in action since Vietnam, died doing what he had done for Soldiers for more than 34 years, and that was ensuring they had what they needed to complete their mission. Since his earliest days as a member of the Corps of Engineers, he consistently operated with the welfare of his fellow Soldier in mind. After transitioning to the Acquisition Corps he combined an extremely high technological expertise with a passion for delivering crucial C4ISR systems. Amongst his numerous achievements were managing the Army’s Guardrail program, leading efforts on the Battle Command program and overseeing critical new start programs such as the EMARSS and CIRCM programs.

MG Greene is a true American hero who was responsible for the safe return of many from war, due to his dedication to mission and his commitment to excellence to include his final assignment as the Deputy Commanding General of the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan.”

The event was capped off with a tradition that Greene utilized throughout his time as a leader, with an ice Cream Social which served as a time to share many of the fond memories those in attendance had of Greene.
