Mr. Collin Kettell reports
PALISADES GOLDCORP APPOINTS DECORATED COMBAT VETERAN AND FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, COLONEL DOUGLAS MACGREGOR (retired), TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. has appointed Colonel Douglas A. Macgregor, PhD (retired), to its board of directors. Colonel Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran with 28 years of service in the United States Army, a published author, a PhD in international relations and a former senior adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Defense. His appointment reflects Palisades's commitment to assembling a world-class board with deep expertise in geopolitics, natural resource security and the global forces reshaping demand for the commodities at the heart of the Palisades portfolio.
Collin Kettell, founder and chief executive officer of Palisades, stated: "We are honoured to welcome Colonel Macgregor to the Palisades board. Doug brings a perspective that very few people in the world can offer -- a career spent at the highest levels of military strategy and geopolitical analysis, combined with a deep understanding of how global power dynamics translate into real-world demand for critical resources. At a time when gold, silver, copper, uranium and the critical minerals that underpin national security are moving to the forefront of both government policy and investor attention, having a board member who has lived and operated at the crossing of those forces is an extraordinary advantage for our shareholders."
Colonel Douglas A. Macgregor, PhD (retired), incoming board member of Palisades, stated: "I have spent my career studying the intersection of military power, geopolitical risk and the resource competition that underlies both. The coming decade will be defined by nations scrambling to secure access to the metals and minerals that power modern economies and defence capabilities. Palisades has assembled one of the most thoughtfully constructed junior resource portfolios I have encountered, with a structure specifically designed to deliver maximum upside to exactly the kind of commodity supercycle I believe we are entering. I am looking forward to contributing to the company's mission and to working with Collin and the team."
Biography -- Colonel Douglas A. Macgregor, PhD (retired)
Colonel Macgregor, PhD (retired) is a decorated combat veteran, military strategist, author and geopolitical commentator with one of the most distinguished careers in the modern United States Army.
Commissioned into the regular Army in 1976 following studies at the Virginia Military Institute and four years at the United States Military Academy at West Point, Colonel Macgregor served for 28 years before retiring in 2004 with the rank of Colonel. He holds a master of arts in comparative politics and a doctor of philosophy in international relations, both from the University of Virginia.
Colonel Macgregor is widely recognized for his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting during the Gulf War -- the United States Army's largest tank battle since World War II. Leading cavalry troops from the Second Armored Cavalry Regiment, his unit destroyed a full-strength Iraqi Republican Guard brigade in a decisive 23-minute engagement, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star with V device for valor.
During his service, Colonel Macgregor taught in the department of social sciences at West Point, commanded the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry and served as director of the Joint Operations Center at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) during the 1999 Kosovo Air Campaign, for which he was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal. At Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's insistence, General Tommy Franks met with Colonel Macgregor in January, 2002, to review his concept for the offensive to seize Baghdad -- a plan that was largely adopted.
Colonel Macgregor is the author of five books on military transformation and strategy, including the groundbreaking Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation Under Fire (Praeger, 2003), works whose recommendations have profoundly influenced force development thinking in the United States, Israel, Russia and China. His most recent work, Warriors Rage: The Great Tank Battle of 73 Easting (Naval Institute Press, 2009), provides a first-hand account of the battle that defined his combat career.
In 2020, President Donald Trump appointed Colonel Macgregor to serve as senior adviser to the Acting Secretary of Defense, and subsequently appointed him to the board of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He is currently the president and chief executive officer of the National Conversation, a non-profit organization exploring the potential for a new, third party movement based in Naples, Fla., and has testified as an expert witness before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. He has appeared as a defence and national security analyst on Fox News, CNN, BBC, Sky News and public radio, and is fluent in German.
