systems and the design of organizational requirements and capabilities.
During this assignment, he was responsible for bringing digitalization to
the battlefield with Force 21. Rosenkranz graduated from the United States
Military Academy in 1961 and holds a master's degree from the University of
Pennsylvania. He continues to apply his experience
and skills as a leader in the defense industry. (Photo credit: Marla J. Hurtado)
