 The U.S. Army officially promoted two senior scientists in an Aberdeen-proving-ground Maryland ceremony August 12th. Across the Army, there are less than 50 senior research scientists, known as STs, who serve as general officer equivalents, advising leadership on science matters. To be appointed as an ST is one of the highest honors in the Civilian Career Corps. It is held only by those that exhibit superior scientific leadership and uphold the highest standards for the nation. Dr. Adam Rollett assumed the position of ST for material science, and Dr. Scott Schoenfeld assumed the position of ST for terminal ballistics, both have been serving in their new positions since March. Schoenfeld previously served as the senior scientist for the Lethality and Protection Sciences Campaign, Chief of Armor Mechanics, and Chief of Impact Physics Research, with the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory. I want to recognize all of you, the people that work here, because they're the ones that taught me, coming out of graduate school, what a sense of mission is, that all of these great things, these assets that we have here, that are so much fun and so technically intriguing, when you see the people with their sense of urgency applying them to real problems and solving real problems for national defense. That's really what kept me here for going on 25 years now. Schoenfeld's work in terminal ballistics is a subfield of ballistics and examines the behavior and effects of a projectile. Rollett had been serving as the same directorate's chief scientist since 2017. We've never seen a greater commitment from our researchers to work together, and that means materials division folks, protection folks, lethality across the board. And so it's a very exciting time and I'm just proud to serve in this capacity in this role. As the Materials Science ST, Rollett will serve as the principal scientific leader for the Army's National and International Fundamental Materials Science and Engineering Research Programs.
