REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- The Army Materiel Command welcomed its first special advisor to the commanding general for intelligence and security in a formal ceremony here June 2.
In conjunction with this appointment, Katherine Coviello became one of 38 Defense Intelligence Senior Level officers across the Department of Defense. "I believe in protecting the underbelly of the Army -- which is our industrial base," she said.
Lt. Gen. Larry Wyche, AMC's deputy commanding general, presided over the ceremony and promoted Coviello to the DISL ranks -- which is equivalent to a brigadier general.
In this position, Coviello will provide intelligence and security expertise, judgment and advice on national, joint, coalition and Army intelligence matters.
"Excellence does not happen by accident. It happens with hard work, passion and the willingness to make your best -- better," Wyche said of Coviello.
Coviello has 30 years of experience in the intelligence field and this position being her third assignment with AMC. "This is like returning home," she said.
She previously served with the Communications and Electronics Command and the Research, Development and Engineering Command, both major subordinate commands of AMC.
