* Scott Redd, K0DQ, heads to new job in Iraq: Retired Vice Admiral Scott
Redd, K0DQ, has been appointed deputy administrator and chief operating
officer of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Baghdad, Iraq.
Redd, an ARRL member who lives in Marietta, Georgia, is one of two deputy
administrators reporting to CPA Administrator L. Paul Bremer. Redd will
direct the CPA's programs for the reconstruction of Iraq's infrastructure.
That task includes awarding $18.4 billion in contracts through the project
management office for major improvements to Iraq's electricity, oil,
transportation, water resources, education, housing and construction, and
communications networks, a CPA news release said. He also will be
responsible for policy affecting Iraq's security programs. Those include
the new Iraqi Army, the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps, Iraqi Border Patrol and
Facilities Protection Services. Redd retired from the US Navy in 1998 as
director of strategic plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
During 36 years of active duty, he commanded eight organizations, founded
the Navy's Fifth Fleet--the first new US Navy fleet in more than 50
years--and served in several senior Pentagon positions. Redd also led all
U.S. Naval forces in the US Central Command from 1994 until 1996. The 1966
graduate of the US Naval Academy and Fulbright scholar was the keynote
speaker for ARRL's second donors' reception held in conjunction with
Hamvention 2003.
