Major General Harrell retired from active duty in the United States Army in March 2008 after more than 30 years of service. He was assigned control of Special Operations Command Central in 2002, where he commanded the largest special operations forces assembled since World War II. In this capacity, he served in various positions of increasing responsibility and later went on to become Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations for a deployable NATO task force. The Special Operations veteran, who holds the distinction of leading the largest special operations force into combat in U.S. history in Iraq, was Deputy Commanding General of the United States Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg North Carolina prior to joining Pacer Health Corporation.

A former Delta Force commander who was immortalized in the book and movie “Black Hawk Down,” General Harrell has served in some of the most critical and secretive missions which have earned him numerous campaign and service medals, including a purple heart and the bronze star with v-device and 2 oak leaf clusters. General Harrell holds a degree in Industrial Management from East Tennessee University and is a graduate from all major military institutions including the Armed Forces Staff College and the U.S. Army War Collage.

"We are pleased that General Gary Harrell has joined our executive team," said Rainier Gonzalez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pacer Health Corporation. "The experience, knowledge and leadership he brings to our group will be very beneficial as we grow and continue to move toward our goals. He has a proven track record in day-to-day business operations and overseeing highly analytical tasks."
