Bruce’s service includes commanding operations in Central Europe and across the U.S. While a Brigadier General, he served for two years as Commanding General, South Pacific Division, having responsibility for all military construction and civil works in the western United States (annual operating budget: $3+ billion). This service included overseeing construction, inland waterway operations, and environmental clean-up.
As a Brigadier General, Bruce was appointed Deputy Director (Strategy, Plans and Policy) for the Army’s Quadrennial Defense Review team. He was responsible for the formulation of long-term strategy, force structure, and long-range planning.

After retiring from active duty service, Bruce worked for nine years as a Vice President at ITT Defense, leading the company’s international marketing and business development section. He oversaw a nearly 900 percent growth in the value of ITT’s international orders.
