Mark Curran ‘74
Lieutenant General
Army’s Futures Center
After 31 years in today’s Army, Mark Curran has taken the lead
role in developing the Army of tomorrow. The 1974 graduate, a
Lieutenant General at Historic Fort Monroe, Virginia, is
director of the Army’s Futures Center. Curran oversees a staff
of 600 (plus another 2000 indirectly), a dedicated group he
calls “the combat development community and the intellectual
capital of our Army.” He and his staff have the responsibility
of designing, developing, and integrating the future United
States Army. “I enjoy being with this group of professionals
every day,” working in an atmosphere that is intellectually
exhilarating, Curran says. “I am proud to be around them. They
are passionate about what they do.”
The Army is about people, Curran says, and FSC taught him
people skills, “the interaction with other people, both peers
and those senior to me. FSC taught what it was like to be part
of a values-based team. Today I belong to, and am comfortable
with, a values-based organization.”
