General Anderson, 53, brings more than 31 years' experience in US Department of Defense operations. Anderson, a career military officer, retired from active duty in November 2009. Most recently, he served on the Army Staff in the Pentagon as the Director, Operations and Logistics Readiness, Office of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff. Prior to that he served for five years as a general officer in the US Army, including 15 months as the senior US and coalition logistician in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In that role, he succeeded in cutting costs through energy demand reduction and directed the US Army's Rapid Equipping Force to bring the Closed Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam initiative to Iraq to improve the energy efficiency of temporary structures.
