'''SIGAR Leadership:''' The head of SIGAR is appointed by the President. The initial leader of SIGAR was retired Brigadier General Arnold Fields, who resigned in early 2011. Fields had served in many areas, including a position of Chief of Staff of the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office in Bagdhad in the 2004-2005 timeframe. He was replaced by Herbert Richardson, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in February, 2011. However, in early August, 2011, Richardson has submitted his resignation, and the acting head is a current member of the staff (see article links below). The President has not appointed a new head as of August 14, 2011. |
