He will also be integrally involved in developing and implementing critical FAS policies and operational procedures. Prior to joining GSA, Mr. Caughman served with the U.S. Air Force for more than 22 years, specializing in operations and acquisition and demonstrating expertise as a program manager and organizational leader. Additionally, he served on the White House staff for seven years in a variety of positions, including Presidential Emergency Operations Officer and Personal Aide to the President. Mr. Caughman has extensive experience in providing acquisition and policy development support within the Department of Defense (DoD) and in the private sector.

GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA’s mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
