About General (Ret.) David Perkins
General Perkins retired from the United States Army in 2018 as a four-star general following 38 years of service, during which time he held various leadership positions and generated future requirements for all U.S. Army ground and air weapons systems and vehicles. His most recent position was the 15th Commander of the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command where he oversaw the training of Army forces and the development of operational doctrine. Under his leadership, TRADOC developed the Army’s concept of Multi-Domain Operations, which has become a driver for future change, not only in the U.S. Military but around the world. Before commanding TRADOC, General Perkins was the 21st Commander of the Combined Arms Center and Commandant of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. In this role, he led the development and execution of the leadership development strategy across the Army, management of the Army’s training support and development enterprises, and development and integration of the doctrine that the Army used worldwide to fight and win the nation’s wars.
