Army Fellows Experiences

"My RAND Fellowship provided an enriching professional development experience that I have drawn upon for over a decade."

— MG Jim Coggin

"Working with RAND's fine cadre of analysts, having the opportunity to engage the Army and OSD on a variety of topics, and being permitted to conduct independent research in an area that was tremendously important to me, I believe, set the conditions for the future assignments I was subsequently given. My experience at RAND enabled me to approach problem solving in an open and objective manner and ultimately made me more valuable and useful to the Army."

— MG Bill McCoy

"It introduced me to new people, new concepts, new insights, and new methods for pursuing the analysis of some critical areas of the Army's interest. For me personally, it was one of the most intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding accomplishments of my career"

— LTC Glenn Hewitt

"The RAND people I worked with showed me that it is a good thing to look at and approach problems from different angles. We should applaud efforts that aren't the approved Army process. RAND gave me insights to solving problems with solutions that were truly ‘out of the box.' These had direct pay offs when in battalion and brigade command."

— COL Kemp Littlefield

"My greatest thrill was being able to observe and participate in groundbreaking research. The insights I gained while working side by side with some of the world's best analysts has helped me tremendously in my follow-on assignments."

— COL Steven Galing
