Kiwi Army Engineer Shares Skills and Tops US Course

Major Peter Gray is an Army engineer, but the Trentham-based officer managed to top the international United States Army Theatre Logistics course he attended at Fort Lee, Virginia recently.

His years as an engineer, and having just finished a two-year stint in the New York-based United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), went a long way to ensuring his success on the course, he feels.

“The Americans wanted people who understood logistics at theatre-level to attend the course to enable an exchange of ideas. With UNMAS I had helped manage the mine action and route clearance effort to support the extraction of the 2,500 strong UN force from Eritrea, and had participated across the whole military planning process used by the UN by way of being involved with planning for intervention options in Somalia and Nepal.”
