Home Brenton C. Greene to Become National Communications System Deputy Manager
The NCS Deputy Manager is responsible for the day-to-day policy, technical, and programmatic oversight in coordination with all Federal government-wide activities in national security and emergency preparedness communications. Lt. Gen. Harry D. Raduege, NCS Manager and Director of the Defense Information Systems Agency, announced Greene’s appointment on March 16, 2001. “I'm excited about the energy and background he brings to this challenging job,” said Raduege. “His distinguished background as a career naval officer, his work with industry, and most recently, his experience as Manager, Critical Infrastructure Protection Programs for Sandia National Laboratories means he is well prepared for the NCS and NSTAC [the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee].”
Prior to his arrival to the NCS, Greene led Sandia’s significant analytical, research and development, and assessment competencies into national critical infrastructure protection initiatives. He was a member of the Defense Science Board 2000 Task Force on Defensive Information Operations. In 1998-1999, Greene served as Vice President for Electronic Commerce at CAMP, Inc., a non-profit corporation advancing electronic commerce in support of the Defense Department (DOD) and small and medium size manufacturing enterprises. Greene managed five Electronic Commerce Resource Centers (ECRC) ($24 million annual revenue) as part of DOD’s National ECRC program. During 1996 and 1997, Greene was a Commissioner on the President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, developing national policy and strategy recommendations to the President, which led to Presidential Decision Directive 63 (PDD-63) and its range of national critical infrastructure initiatives. He was instrumental in the Commission’s establishment and its results, and for this, was awarded the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. He frequently lectured on infrastructure and information assurance issues to a wide range of Government, industry, and academic organizations and audiences. From 1992 through 1996, Greene was a leader in National and Defense Department initiatives that explored a wide range of military and non-military options through the leveraging of national infrastructures and information networks. He created DOD’s Infrastructure Policy Directorate, serving as its first Director within the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. His office was charged with developing policy, plans, programs, guidance and oversight for infrastructure assurance policy, information and infrastructure warfare concepts. Greene served in other key Defense Department positions within the offices of the Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition & Technology), the Director, Program Analysis and Evaluation, and the Chief of Naval Operations. In these roles, he coordinated and managed leading edge technology and affordability issues, pertaining to information operations, nodal analysis, modeling and simulation, intelligence collection, counter-terrorism, satellite capabilities, system security issues, and a broad range of special program technology areas. A 1971 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Greene completed nuclear propulsion training and served a career in submarines, including tours as commanding officer of the nuclear attack submarines USS Skipjack and USS Hyman G. Rickover. He retired as a Navy captain in 1995 to continue infrastructure-related initiatives within Government. His military awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal (two awards), the Navy Commendation Medal (three awards), and the Navy Achievement Medal, as well as various campaign and service awards
