A retired U.S. army general will head the national security programs at the Kennedy School of Government (KSG).
Lt. General Terry Scott was tapped by Dean of the Kennedy School Joseph S. Nye Jr. last month to succeed Lt. General (Ret.) Bernard Trainor as programs director.
"Terry Scott has had an outstanding career in the United States Army, during which he performed exceptional service to his country," Nye said in the press release.
"In our national security programs, Harvard aims to contribute to the development of leaders and effective policies for our national security establishment," he said in the release.
The programs include a two-week long management training seminar in national security for military officers and senior civilians, the national security fellows program and a one-year course in professional military education.
Scott retired from his post as Commander of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command last September, where he was responsible for training, recruiting and employing the nation's special operations forces.
From 1991 to 1993, he served as Commanding General of the Second Infantry Division in Korea.
During the Gulf War, he was Deputy Commander of the Army's 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, which distinguished itself by leading the famous "left hook" attack into Iraq.
Scott graduated with a B.S. from Texas A&M and received his M.B.A. from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He is married and has two grown daughters.
