Summary
The integration of retired military generals into corporate boardrooms is no accident; it’s a deliberate design that reflects the evolving needs of companies today. Over the past decade, we’ve seen a significant surge in military experience on boards. Between 2015 and 2024, the number of directors with military backgrounds in Russell 3000 companies nearly doubled from 293 to 569. However, despite this growth, military veterans still only made up about 2.1% of board members in 2024.
