DECLARATION OF ROBERT F. HALE
Personal Background
I, Robert F. Hale, having personal knowledge of the facts contained in this declaration
and being competent to testify to them, hereby state as follows:
1. I currently serve as the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)/ChiefFinancial
Officer in the United States Department of Defense ("DoD" or "the Department"). I have held
this position since February 2009 following my nomination by President Barack Obama,
confirmation by the United States Senate, and appointment by President Obama.
2. Prior to my appointment, I served as the Executive Director of the American
Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC), the professional association of Defense financial
managers. As Executive Director, I led the ASMC's certification program (the Certified Defense
Financial Manager program), and oversaw other training programs, the society's professional
journal, and the ASMC' s National Professional Development Institute, an annual conference
attracting more than 3,500 participants. Prior to my ASMC tenure, from 1994 to 2001, I served
in the Pentagon as the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management and
Comptroller), where I was responsible for annual budgets in excess of $70 billion, efforts to
streamline Air Force financial management, and compliance with the Chief Financial Officers
Act. In addition, from 1982 to 1994, I headed the National Security Division at the
Congressional Budget Office, developing quantitative analyses of major defense budget issues
and testifying frequently before congressional committees. During my career, I was also a
senior fellow and head of the acquisition and grants management group at LMI, a consulting firm
