Arlington, Va. — The Army named five veteran acquisition leaders to its 2025 Army Acquisition Hall of Fame, recognizing careers that shaped major programs and policies across the service. Retired Lt. Gen. William Campbell, Harry Hallock, Gary Martin, Barry Pike, and Tracey Pinson will be honored Oct. 14 during the Association of the United States Army’s Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
“The Army Acquisition Hall of Fame honors those whose leadership and vision shaped the foundation of our acquisition community and reinforced the core principles of our acquisition mission,” said Hon. Ingraham. “This year’s inductees exemplify what it means to deliver and sustain capabilities that have an enduring impact to the Army and the Nation. Their contributions continue to guide how we equip our Soldiers and sustain the capabilities to advance the mission every day.”
The Hall of Fame recognizes former members of the Army Acquisition Workforce who served at least two decades in federal service and have been retired or separated for a minimum of one year. Selections reflect lasting, substantive contributions to the Army’s acquisition mission.
Today’s acquisition enterprise includes more than 32,700 civilians, officers, and noncommissioned officers spanning six core disciplines: engineering and technical management; contracting; life-cycle logistics; program management; test and evaluation; and business, financial management and cost estimating.
“These leaders show us that the true strength of Army acquisition is measured not just in the capabilities we provide, but in the people whose selfless service ensures our Soldiers remain unmatched on the battlefield,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Collins, Director of the Army Acquisition Corps. “Their legacy inspires the next generation of acquisition professionals to drive forward with the same commitment, innovation, and excellence.”
