Obama names Mulligan to head White House Military Office

 
President Barack Obama Friday named George D. Mulligan, Jr. as Director of the White House Military Office.

Mulligan has been deputy director of the office since 2005, which oversees Defense Department staff and operations that support the office of the president.

He had been in the office in various roles from 1994 to 2004. Before that, he served as an officer in the Navy from 1986 until 1994, with assignments as a Naval Flight Officer as well as at the Pentagon and in the White House Military Office.  He has a Bachelor’s Degree in business administration from Villanova University and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. 

“George brings decades of experience and has served with integrity and a deep commitment to his country – not just in his role at the White House Military Office, but throughout his distinguished career,” Obama said.


“I am very grateful that George has agreed to lead the Office and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the coming months and years.”
