Senior Army Representative
LTG Mary Legere is the Army’s Senior Intelligence Officer
and Principal Advisor on Intelligence and Security Policy,
Programs, and Operations for the Secretary of the Army
and Chief of Staff.
She attained the rank of Three Star General in 2012, and
is only the fourth woman to reach that rank.
“I oversee the global operations of the Army’s 58,000-
person Intelligence Corps, the modernization of our
intelligence systems, and the readiness of our formations
across seven geographic theaters, including Afghanistan
and Iraq, and an intelligence budget of over four billion
dollars,” she explains.
“In addition, I advise the Army Chief of Staff of the Army
on Readiness, Operations and Modernization of the
Intelligence Corps.
I am also the Army's lead executive on Information,
Personnel and Industrial Security, the Advisor to the
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and
Readiness, and Acquisition, Logistics and Technology on
Security and Protection Policies.”
She is also the Senior Army Representative in the U.S.
Intelligence Community, and one of seventeen Senior
Intelligence Officers.
“I am successfully driving the transformation of the
Army’s Intelligence Corps as we transition from a focus
on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq toward refitting
the Army Intelligence Corps to meet the emerging
threats of our Globally Engaged and Regionally Aligned
Army around the globe.”
LTG Mary Legere expects to retire soon, after a military
career that has lasted more than thirty years.
She is exploring her options within the private sector and
within the National Security/Intelligence sectors.
