Gov. Holcomb Targets Strategic Growth for Indiana’s Defense Sector

0

Major General Tooley appointed to lead defense development
at the Indiana Economic Development Corporation

Governor Eric J. Holcomb today advanced a comprehensive realignment of Indiana’s defense development efforts, creating a more collaborative, strategic approach to growing and enhancing the state’s defense industry and military assets by aligning the Indiana Office of Defense Development (IODD) as a new business unit of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The Governor also announced today the appointment of Major General Omer C. (Clif) Tooley Jr. to lead defense development.

 

“With a strong military presence and network of defense assets, combined with the tactical advantage of our state’s pro-growth business climate, Indiana is perfectly positioned to be at the center of global advancements and growth in defense,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Today’s announcement is another signal to the world that Indiana is open for business, offering a single voice and shared vision of propelling long-term economic growth and job creation in the defense industry.”

 

In his new role as president of defense development, Tooley will provide a focused approach to grow Indiana’s defense industry by promoting the state’s defense assets, assisting in business development, and attracting and supporting defense-related industry partnerships and activities under the direction of Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger. As part of these efforts, all defense-focused resources and programs, including the Indiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), will be coordinated by Tooley. Tooley will also coordinate directly with industry stakeholders like the Commanders Roundtable, Indiana Defense Task Force and Indiana Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association.

 

Indiana’s strategic approach complements the state’s major defense installations such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base, Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, as well as its large military presence, including critical duty commands at NSWC Crane, vital reserve components and the Indiana National Guard. Additionally, these efforts aim to build on a trend of major defense contractors like AM General, BAE Systems, Honeywell International, Raytheon, Rolls-Royce and Saab growing their operations in Indiana.

“It’s an honor and privilege to continue serving the people of Indiana and our great nation,” Tooley said. “Under the leadership of Gov. Holcomb and the IEDC, I look forward to supporting our state’s critical security assets, building on Indiana’s defense development efforts, and collaborating with industry, government and academic partners to drive growth and increase our competitiveness in the defense sector.”

 

Tooley, of Bargersville, will leave his current roles as chief executive officer and board chairman of the National Center for Complex Operations in order to transition to the new position. Prior to joining the private sector in 2016, Tooley served as Assistant Adjutant General – Army of the Indiana National Guard, where he was responsible for the development of the Atterbury-Muscatatuck Center for Complex Operations. During his 41 years of military service, Tooley served in several staff and leadership roles during peacetime, combat and domestic emergency situations, including tours with the 101st Airborne Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 10th Mountain Division, 38th Infantry Division, Institute for Military Assistance and the Indiana National Guard.

 

Tooley holds a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies from Western Kentucky University and Master of Science in Adult and Continuing Education from the University of Southern California. Tooley and his wife, Connie, have three sons and eight grandchildren. To honor his distinguished military service, Tooley was also awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash and Distinguished Hoosier awards by the state.

 

“In Indiana, we have a rich tradition of developing safe, reliable and innovative products that support our nation’s military,” Secretary Schellinger said. “With the addition of Major General Tooley, the IEDC will strengthen its efforts to target industry growth in the defense sector and attract new businesses to Indiana, adding to a growing list of companies that are finding success here. We’re excited for the breadth of military, private sector and civic experience that he is bringing to our team and look forward to working together to grow Indiana’s defense development opportunities.”

 

Tooley will start at the IEDC on August 26.

Otters’ offense sinks Wild Things early

0
The Evansville Otters brought their explosive offense to the ballpark Sunday, sinking the Washington Wild Things 9-2 in the series finale.
 The Otters and Elijah MacNamee got things started in the top of the first inning. 

After a Ryan Long single with two outs, MacNamee ripped a two-run home run to left field, his first professional homer, to give the Otters an early 2-0 lead.

 

Washington’s Hector Roa cut the Otters’ lead in half in the bottom of the first on an RBI single, making the score 2-1.

 

MacNamee would cash in two more RBIs in the third on a triple, scoring David Cronin and Keith Grieshaber, to push the Otters ahead 4-1 through three.

 

Washington starter AJ Bogucki would pitch four innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits. He would be given the loss, dropping his record to 2-4.

 

The Otters would score four runs in the top of the fifth, sending eight men to the plate.

 

Cronin led off with a walk, Grieshaber singled, and Long smacked a two-RBI double, extending the Otters’ lead to 6-1.

 

J.J. Gould followed later in the inning with a two-RBI single, scoring Long and Jack Meggs, to increase the Otters’ lead to 8-1 and break the game open after five innings.

 

That was plenty of run support for the newly signed Otters’ starting pitcher Matt Burleton, making his professional debut with Evansville.

 

From the second to fourth inning, Burleton retired nine consecutive batters but would run into a jam in the fifth.

 

With runners on first and second and one out, Meggs at first helped start a 3-6-3 double play to end the threat.

 

Roa hit another RBI single in the sixth, driving in all the Wild Things’ runs in the original scheduled games for this weekend.

 

Burleton pitched a scoreless seventh inning before turning the baseball over to the Otters’ bullpen in Abraham Almonte and Michael Gizzi, who tossed scoreless innings.

 

The left-hander earned his first win in his professional debut, throwing seven strong innings while allowing two runs – one earned – on six hits. He did not record a strikeout, but did a solid job pitching to the Otters’ defense.

 

Cronin added an RBI double in the eighth, giving the Otters nine runs on 11 hits.

 

MacNamee was a double shy of the cycle, going 3-5 with a home run, triple, and a single while recording four RBIs. He would have multiple hits along with Long, Gould and Grieshaber.

 

The combination of Cronin, Grieshaber, Long, Gould and MacNamee would have nine RBIs, ten hits, and seven runs scored.

 

The Otters return home to Bosse Field for a six-game homestand, starting on Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. for three games against the River City Rascals.
