Speaker General Doug O'Dell

Major General Douglas O’Dell

Federal Coordinator of Gulf Coast Rebuilding

General O’Dell, a former resident of New Orleans, has extensive experience serving Gulf Coast residents. During the devastating 2005 hurricane season, General O’Dell was the Commanding General of the 4th Marine Division headquartered in New Orleans and led 2,700 Marines and Sailors to rescue and evacuate thousands of civilians, deliver essential cargo, and restore basic functions to buildings. Prior to the landfall of Hurricane Rita, he embarked 1,000 of his Marines on available amphibious shipping and followed behind the storm's path, allowing his troops to commence relief operations within hours of the storm's passage.

General O'Dell retired from the U.S. Marine Corps in 2007 after a distinguished 39-year career. During his tenure, General O'Dell organized trained, equipped and deployed nine battalions, a division advisory group, and numerous supporting elements to combat in Iraq. Prior to that, following the 9/11 attacks, until September 2004 he commanded the 4^th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (Anti-terrorism) which had global anti-terror and security responsibilities.

In addition to his notable military accomplishments, the General led a successful 27-year business career in investment management. Starting in 1988, he served as Regional Vice President for AIM investments, was named a Partner in 1993 and ultimately retired on September 10, 2001. O’Dell continues to run a successful family owned business in Chestertown, MD.

General O'Dell entered the Marine Corps through the Platoon Leaders Class in March 1968 and completed The Basic School at Quantico. He received his bachelor's degree in history and Latin American studies from Rutgers University in 1971. He is also a fellow of the Senior Executives Course, JFK School, Harvard University. Doug O’Dell was born on May 30, 1948 in Pottstown, PA. He and his wife, Judith have five grown sons and four grandchildren.
