On 26 June 2000 the Center for Army Analysis (CAA) dedicated it's conference room to the memory of Colonel James T. Baird who passed away on 22 January 1995 while serving at the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency, now the Center for Army Analysis, as the Deputy Director for Resource and Sustainability Analysis.

James T. Baird was born 21 August 1945 in Toledo, Ohio. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in the Class of 1968 and was commissioned in the infantry. As a Lieutenant he served two years in the Republic of Vietnam earning the Silver Star for heroism in action. As an infantry officer he served with the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, 1/30 Infantry Battalion in Sweinfurt, Germany and commanded 3/27 Infantry Battalion of the 7th Infantry Division at Fort Ord, California. He was a graduate of the Command and General Staff College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces.

COL Baird became a member of the Army Operations Research/Systems Analysis Functional Area Specialty upon graduation from the Georgia Institute of Technology with the MS OR degree in 1976. His initial analyst assignment was with Combat Developments at the Infantry School. In subsequent assignments he served as a force structure analyst in the Office of the Technical Advisor to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans; as a theater warfare analyst in the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; as a regional analyst in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Program Analysis and Evaluation; and finally with the US Army Concepts Analysis Agency.

Ah, Jimmy, we all miss you still.
