General Robert B. Abrams
Over a 39 year career of active duty service, General (R) Robert B. “Abe” Abrams led troops in peace and war. Following his commissioning from the United States Military Academy in 1982, he spent his formative years in a Cavalry Squadron with a mission on the E-W German border during the cold war, lead combat troops in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan during multiple combat tours spanning Operation Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He was the Senior Military Assistant to the 24th Secretary of Defense. He commanded the Army’s and DOD’s largest formation, US Army Forces Command, with over 750K soldiers and DA Civilians across all 3 components for over 3 years. His final assignment was as the Commander United Nations Command, the ROK-US Combined Forces Command and US Forces Korea from 2018-2021.
Since retiring, Abe serves as a Board Director for Vistage International; as a senior Board Advisor for VAYA Space; as a member of the Board of Business Executives for Gridiron Capital; as a consultant for several companies; and is the Vice Chairman of the Korea Defense Veteran’s Association, a 501(c) non-profit. Abe speaks publicly on leadership and Korean Peninsula affairs, and is a military contributor to ABC News.
Happily married, he and his wife are proud parents of two children, and grandparents to two grandchildren. They moved to a small farm in western Missouri following retirement. The Abrams have a Golden Retriever named “Hank” and adopted an abandoned orange tabby kitten named “Fred”. Abe is a functional fitness enthusiast who also enjoys golf, follows college basketball closely and gets March Madness annually. He remains an ever-optimistic fan of Army Football and has been recently converted to a fan of the KC Chiefs.
