## LTG Scott D. Berrier, USAOctober 2020 - February 2024

This Army life began for LTG Scott Berrier in 1984 when he was commissioned as a Military Intelligence                officer through                ROTC at the University of Wisconsin — Stevens Point. He served as a lieutenant at Fort Richardson,                Alaska, with the 172d                Infantry Brigade.

This is where Berrier met and married the former JoAnn Bassett and commenced what                would be a 37-year                Army journey. After the MI Officer’s Advanced Course, Berrier was assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment                and participated                in the 1990 invasion of Panama (Operation JUST CAUSE).

After company command at Fort Ord, California, Team Berrier returned to Alaska to serve as a company                commander and                brigade S-2 with the 6th Infantry Division (Light).

 After attending Command and General Staff College,                the family                traveled to Fort Hood, Texas (now Fort Cavazos) for duty as a battalion, later brigade, S3 in the 504th                Military                Intelligence Brigade. Next came joint assignments at USCENTCOM J2 as the Chief of the Battle Damage                Assessment Branch,                later as the SOCCENT J2, where Berrier deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom after 9/11. 

Team Berrier                next                transitioned to Fort Drum, New York, for battalion command with the 10th Mountain Division, deploying to                Afghanistan                with CJTF-180. After a move to Hawaii for duty as the 25th Infantry Division’s G2, Berrier deployed back                to Afghanistan                for service with CJTF-76.

After the Army War College and brigade command in the Republic of Korea, Team Berrier returned to Fort                Hood for service                as III Corps G2 and deployment to Iraq with MNF-I Headquarters. Stints as USFK J2 and USCENTCOM J2                followed before                another deployment to Afghanistan, this time as J2 with the Resolute Support headquarters in 2014.

*"In his last                assignment, Berrier served as                the 22nd director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from October 2020                to                February 2024.  During his tenure, the Agency made sweeping organizational changes to posture for                strategic                competition.                 DIA’s operating model shifted to be more responsive, and the Agency is currently supporting multiple                crises on a                global                scale."*

After his last Afghan deployment, Berrier assumed command of the Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort        Huachuca,        Arizona, where Annie served in the cavalry as a Trooper with B Troop, 4th U.S. Cavalry Regiment. Team Berrier        then        shifted to Washington D.C. for his first Pentagon assignment, as the 46th Army G2.

Berrier earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Wisconsin — Stevens Point, a master’s degree        in        general studies from Central Michigan University, and a master’s degree in strategic studies from the U.S. Army        War        College.

Scott and Annie have two sons; Cole and Connor, two daughters-in-law; Mika and Amanda, and two grandchildren;        Jack and        Maeve. Team Berrier will retire in the National Capital Region.
