Stephen Townsend, a retired U.S. Army general and former commander of U.S. Africa Command, has been appointed to the board of directors at Phoenix Defense.

The four-decade Army veteran brings extensive military leadership experience to the board, having served in and led combat units at platoon, corps and joint task force levels, Phoenix Defense said Monday.

Before leading AFRICOM, he was commanding general of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and commander of Combined/Joint Task Force – Inherent Resolve.

“His Army background is supportive of Phoenix’s high-priority ground combat training customers, and his knowledge of joint and multi-national operations supports our growth into relevant adjacent markets,” said Benjamin Chereskin, chairman of the board at Phoenix Defense.

Townsend also sits on the federal advisory board of artificial intelligence software company Primer Technologies.
