Ann E. Dunwoody
Ann Elizabeth Dunwoody (born January 14, 1953)〔http://www.publicbackgroundchecks.com/SearchResponse.aspx?view=NM&fn=ann&mn=elizabeth&ln=dunwoody&city=&state=&zip=&dob=19530114&age=〕〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/celeb/dunwoody.htm〕 is a retired general of the United States Army. She was the first woman in U.S. military and uniformed service history to achieve a four-star officer rank, receiving her fourth star on November 14, 2008.〔 Prior to Dunwoody's promotion to general (O-10), the highest-ranking woman in the history of the uniformed services was Patricia Ann Tracey, who, as a vice admiral in the United States Navy, wore three stars and retired in 2004; United States Marine Corps lieutenant general Carol Mutter received promotion in the same year (1996) as Tracey but retired earlier (in 1999).〕
In 2005 Dunwoody became the Army's top-ranking female when she received the promotion to lieutenant general (three stars) and became the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4 (logistics). She was nominated as Commanding General, U.S. Army Materiel Command, by President George W. Bush on June 23, 2008, and confirmed by the Senate one month later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nominations Confirmed (Non-Civilian) )〕 She served in that capacity until August 7, 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Army Materiel Command )〕 and retired from the Army on August 15, 2012.〔
==Early life and education==
Dunwoody was born in 1953〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ann E. Dunwoody )〕 at Fort Belvoir, Virginia〔 to Elizabeth and Harold Dunwoody. Her father was a career Army officer, and the family lived in Germany and Belgium while she was growing up. She graduated from Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) American High School in 1971.
At age 5, Dunwoody decided she wanted nothing more than to become a physical education teacher/coach. Although she came from a family with a strong tradition of military service, she had very little interest in serving in the military. After high school Dunwoody attended State University of New York College at Cortland (A top 10 school for Physical Education) to achieve this goal. During her junior year of college, Dunwoody attended a four week Army introductory program that could be continued, if interested, with an eleven week Women's Officer Orientation Course, which then led to a two year commitment. In 1975 she committed and became a 2nd lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps where she learned to jump from airplanes. It was then that she realized the army was "an organization that was as values-based as the family I came out of, and to find probably my real passion was soldiering. I just didn't know it because I had never experienced it."
