General Keane is a national security and foreign policy expert. A four star general, he completed over 37 years of service, culminating in his appointment as Acting Chief of Staff and Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. In addition, General Keane has advised presidents, presidential candidates, cabinet members, senior government officials as well as members of Congress.
In his role with AM General, General Keane works closely with AM General’s President and CEO, Andy Hove, and AM General’s parent corporation, KPS Capital Partners, to provide strategic oversight and counsel on the company’s strategic growth initiatives.
Created and presented by The History Museum and the Studebaker National Museum, Manufacturing Victory is on view throughout multiple galleries, creating a unique campus experience. The exhibit traces the region’s defense production over 160 years, from early Studebaker wagon contracts in 1857 through the cutting-edge products innovated by AM General and others today. On view through February 6, 2022, the exhibit features such impressive vehicles as Studebaker’s horse-drawn army wagons and AM General’s iconic Humvee. Artifacts like the Oliver factory’s ammunition, Bendix’s Talos missile, and diving equipment made by Ball-Band provide a living document to the area’s long history of defense production. The exhibit also showcases the ingenuity of business leaders and line workers as they worked together to manufacture victory.
