Anne E. Dunwoody Becomes First Four-Star General in U.S. Military History

Anne E. Dunwoody has climbed the Army chain of command to become the U.S. military’s first woman to ever achieve the rank of four-star general.

Speaking at a promotion ceremony on Friday Dunwoody reflected on her time in the Army and accomplishment achieved saying, “Thirty-three years after I took the oath as a second lieutenant, I have to tell you this is not exactly how I envisioned my life unfolding. Even as a young kid, all I ever wanted to do was teach physical education and raise a family.”

Dunwoody continued, “It was clear to me that my Army experience was just going to be a two-year detour en route to my fitness profession. So when asked, `Ann, did you ever think you were going to be a general officer, to say nothing about a four-star?' I say, `Not in my wildest dreams.”

The 55-year-old Dunwoody spoke as a standing-room only crowd at the Washington auditorium witnessed history. Among those in attendance were Dunwoody’s father, Hal Dunwoody, who served in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam and her husband, Criag Brotchie, who spent 26 years in the Air Force.
