Before Gregory Pugh joined the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) at Fort Detrick, Md., he served as an Infantry Scout in the U.S. Army. Hailing from Greenville, N.C., Pugh, currently a logistics specialist with USAMMDA's Warfighter Deployed Medical Systems (WDMS) Project Management Office, enlisted in the Army in 1991 "[B]ecause I enjoyed the outdoors and I had a lot of youthful energy I had to learn how to manage - not to mention I tried college prior to joining but at the time I didn't like it." During his career, Pugh served across the globe, including Camp Greaves in the Republic of Korea, 9th Infantry Regiment at Fort Ord, Calif., 502nd Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell, Ky., and with the 502nd Infantry Regiment during Humanitarian Operations in Panama. Today, Pugh is married to his wife of 26 years, Army retired Veteran Kellie, with two grown daughters, Brianna and Kayleigh. Pugh left the Army after six years and earned his Bachelor of Arts, Computer Science-Information Systems in 2010 from the University of Phoenix. Today, as part of WDMS, Pugh lives by the maxim "make it happen" - continuing the service he began in uniform to "support my brothers and sisters in arms with dedication and pride. Veterans often understand the urgency, a lot of the processes, [and] they have a bond with his or her branch of service, which motivates them to deliver solutions to support the Warfighter."
