A one-of-a-kind commander, General Stanley McChrystal is widely praised for creating a revolution in warfare that fuses intelligence and operations. Bolstering in-force communications was arguably one of his greatest achievements.
A four-star general, he is the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan and the former leader of Joint Special Operations Command. Credited with the capture of Saddam Hussein and the killing al-Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, McChrystal is known for his innovative leadership and dedication. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates called McChrystal “one of America’s greatest warriors.”
