CACI Project Manager Command Sgt. Maj. William
F. Thetford, U.S. Army (Ret.) awarded second highest military
decoration for heroism in combat.
CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that Command
Sgt. Maj. William “Bill” Thetford, U.S. Army (Ret.), Special
Operations Forces Project Manager, has been awarded the U.S. Army’s
Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest military
decoration, for his heroism in combat with an armed enemy force
during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.
Mr. Thetford served as an assault team member and team breacher
in C Squadron in 1993 as part of Task Force Ranger. Mr. Thetford
was initially awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the
battle; however, in January, Congress and the Secretary of the U.S.
Army, the Honorable Christine Wormuth, elevated the medal to the
Distinguished Service Cross. Mr. Thetford’s military career
included tours as the Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL) of the Joint
Special Operations Command (JSOC) and U.S. Special Operations
Command (USSOCOM) and culminated as the SEL for U.S. Central
Command before he retired in 2019.
Mr. Thetford joined CACI in 2019 and is a Project Manager for
the Special Operations Forces Emerging Threats, Operations, and
Planning Support (SOFETOPS) contract in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.
Under the SOFETOPS contract, CACI provides expertise in integrated
information warfare (IW) and electronic warfare (EW) solutions,
training, readiness, and modernization to advance Army Special
Operations Command (USASOC) missions.
“I am incredibly humbled to join this special group of
Distinguished Service Cross recipients,” said Mr. Thetford. “Today,
I am proud to continue the mission through the delivery of training
models based on first-hand experiences to help Special Operations
Forces respond to current and future threats.”
Mr. Thetford’s medal was awarded on May 30, 2022 in a ceremony
held at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“On behalf of everyone at CACI, we congratulate and honor Bill on
receiving this prestigious recognition. We are privileged to have
employees like Bill, who demonstrate courage, bravery, and
impressive character in support of our nation’s freedoms.”
Mr. Thetford is joined by a unique group of CACI professionals
who have received prestigious honors in the past. Most recently in
2018, two CACI employees were awarded the Office of the Secretary
of the Defense Medal for Valor, the highest civilian honor given by
the Department of Defense, for their heroism and sacrifice, with
voluntary risk to their personal safety in the face of danger.
