Security Inc. (OTC:EKCS) (BULLETIN BOARD: EKCS) (ECSI) announced
the appointment of General Gordon E. Fornell, USAF (Ret.) to the
Company's Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Arthur Barchenko,
President and CEO of ECSI, stated that the Company believes General
Fornell's educational background and professional management
experience working with the Government and private sector will
strongly enhance ECSI's mission-oriented marketing and sales
programs. General Fornell retired from active duty in the USAF in
1993. He has been a private consultant since retiring. He is also a
member of the Defense Support Initiative of the Okaloosa County
Economic Development Council, President of the Air Force Armament
Museum Foundation, and member of the Mid Bay Bridge Authority. He
served in senior acquisition leadership positions in AF Systems
Command and AF Materiel Command. Those positions included two
commands; one as Commander, Armament Division at Eglin AFB, FL,
from 1985-1987; and second as Commander, Electronic Systems Center
at Hanscom AFB, MA from 1988-1993. These organizations developed
and acquired all non-nuclear munitions and communications, command
and control, and intelligence systems for the Air Force. From
1987-1988, General Fornell was the Senior Military Assistant to the
Secretary of Defense. He served both Secretary Casper W. Weinberger
and Secretary Frank C. Carlucci in this capacity. He advised the
Secretary on a wide range of national security issues and
coordinated the office activities of a large staff. Relationships
with nations around the world were established covering the full
spectrum of national priorities. The General served at HQ USAF from
1981-1982 as Deputy Director of Development & Acquisition. This
directorate had responsibilities for the AF aircraft, engine
avionics, C3I, and electronic combat programs. In 1982, he became
Special Assistant for ICBM Modernization, which primarily was the
focal point for Peacekeeper and Small ICBM development and
acquisition. General Fornell was the KC-10 Program Director at
Wright-Patterson AFB from 1980-1981. He had total system
responsibilities for the life cycle of the aircraft. A unique
training system concept was developed and full contractor logistics
support provided a highly reliable and responsible force multiplier
to the Air Force. From 1965 to 1980, General Fornell's assignments
were primarily in research, development, and acquisition. He was a
graduate of the AF Test Pilot School and served as a test pilot at
both Wright-Patterson AFB and Edwards AFB. During this period, he
served in two operational assignments. He was an A-1 pilot at
Nakhon Phanom AFB and Vice Commander of the C-5 Wing at Dover AFB,
DE. General Fornell has had a wide range of operational and test
experience. He has flown over 50 types of aircraft, logged over
7,000 hours flying time, wore parachute wings, and was certified as
a Level III acquisition program manager. General Fornell holds an
MBA in Transportation & Public Policy from the Wharton School
at the University of Pennsylvania and a BS in Mechanical
Engineering from Michigan State University. He has also attended
the Air War College and the USAF Test Pilot School. Arthur
Barchenko further stated that, "With General Fornell joining ECSI's
