Hall of Famers
Last updated: 8 September, 2026
The ORSA Hall of Fame recognizes the most distinguished leaders and innovators in Army operations research. This list of inductees represents decades of groundbreaking analysis, leadership, and dedication to strengthening the Army's decision-making. It remains a work in progress, as we continue compiling and documenting the histories of each honoree so that future generations of ORSAs can learn from their example and follow in their footsteps.
