of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Ms. MEJIA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the retirement of Major General John T. Reim after more than 36 years of distinguished service to our country. Most recently, Major General Reim served as the first Portfolio Acquisition Executive Agile Sustainment & Ammunition and as the Commanding General of Picatinny Arsenal since June 2022. I am proud to honor a New Jersey native whose leadership and dedication has strengthened New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, the State of New Jersey, and the United States as a whole.
Executives, Major General Reim served as Joint Program Executive Officer Armaments & Ammunition. In both roles, he has been an unwavering leader within the Army's acquisition and innovation enterprise. The systems, munitions, and capabilities developed under his leadership have made our country safer. He led critical efforts to modernize and revitalize the Nation's munitions production base, strengthen industrial capacity and ensure the readiness of our stockpiles in support of global contingencies. His work was vital to sustaining America's defense priorities and those of our allies.
with distinction. The installation's more than 6,000 Soldiers, civilians, and contractors benefited from his commitment to their mission and to their morale, welfare, and professional development. Under his leadership, Picatinny Arsenal continued to serve as a cornerstone of defense innovation and an engine of economic strength for the region.
Major General Reim has been an invaluable partner to Congress. His expertise strengthened congressional oversight and improved our ability to advocate effectively for our national defense priorities.
General Reim commissioned into the Quartermaster Corps in 1990 and later entered the Acquisition Corps in 1998. His career includes a wide range of leadership and staff assignments across the Army, Joint Special Operations Command, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
Defense Superior Service Medal and the Legion of Merit, reflect a career defined by excellence and selfless service. Above all, he is supported by his wife Patty and their four children, whose sacrifice and commitment have been essential to his success.
