Currently, Ann E. Dunwoody is a Lieutenant General in the United States Army.
On June 23, 2008, the President nominated her to serve as the commander of the United States Army Materiel Command. If confirmed by the Senate, Dunwoody would be the first woman in the U.S. military to hold the rank of four-star General.
By law women are excluded from combat jobs, the typical path to four-star rank in the military. However, in 2005 she became the Army's top-ranking female when she received the promotion to Lieutenant General and became the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4 (logistics).
In 2008, she was named the Deputy Commanding General of Army Materiel Command and was nominated by President Bush shortly after assuming that duty. During her career, Dunwoody has been assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, 10th Mountain Division and the Defense Logistics Agency. From May 1989 to May 1991, Dunwoody served as executive officer and later division parachute officer for the 407th Supply and Transportation Battalion, 82d Airborne Division, in Fort Bragg and deployed to Saudia Arabia for Operations Desert Shield/Storm.
She entered the Army in 1975.
