The following story originally appeared on the W&M Alumni Magazine website. - Ed. Maj. George M. “Chip” Autry V ’02 had been back home in New Jersey for just a few months after a deployment in Kuwait, but when asked to serve again, he didn’t hesitate. An Army reserve officer, Autry had returned to his civilian job as a supply chain director with pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). His background in military logistics and his experience with handling health care products made him an ideal candidate for the vital mission known as Operation Warp Speed: planning delivery of 300 million vaccines to protect against the pandemic that’s been raging across the nation and world this year.
