General Tuttle's unique experience offers unparalleled insight into military operations complexity and supplements ODIN's extensive knowledge base in military logistics," commented Patrick J. Sweeney II founder of ODIN technologies. He added, "We are honored to have General Tuttle join ODIN as an advisor. From his leadership in Desert Storm through his invaluable government counsel while at the Logistics Management Institute, he has been at the center of many of the Army's most significant logistics decisions and programs for the past three decades. ODIN will leverage General Tuttle's military logistics knowledge and experience to craft innovative RFID solutions that are accurate, scalable and easy for war fighters and support operations to employ."

William G.T. "Bill" Tuttle, Jr. General, U.S. Army (Ret.) commented, "I am impressed with the ODIN team's scientific knowledge and unmatched experience gained from over 200 completed RFID projects both in the military and commercial sector. This broad knowledge base offers them unique insight into how military commanders can best utilize RFID to better support the war fighter. I look forward to working with the ODIN team to hone its RFID solution approach to best align with the Department of Defense logistics mission."
