General Colleen McGuire on a career of military firsts

This week’s guest is retired Brigadier General Colleen McGuire. Missoula-born and UM educated, General McGuire retired from the U.S. Army in 2012 after an illustrious 32-year career, one in which she accomplished many firsts, including becoming the first woman to head the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command and receiving the title of Provost Marshal General.

In this conversation, we cover Colleen’s path through the ranks and the historic changes in how mental health is treated in the military today.
