Dr. Pruett served as an exceptional Quartermaster civilian.  She distinguished herself by earning a PhD in Adult Education from Virginia Commonwealth University, leading our Quartermaster culinary training; managing seven culinary arts competitions; and leading the US Army Culinary Arts Team to World Champions in the 2000 World Culinary Olympics.  She was selected as CASCOM’s first Director of Quality Assurance where she developed a system to formalize multi-functional field feedback via studies and surveys.  Her leadership also resulted in the Army’s Reverse Collection and Analysis Team Program.  This allowed the Army to share lessons learned by the Brigade Combat Teams in the areas of doctrinal employment; training successes and challenges; organizational design; and materiel system use while deployed.
