“I have been very pleased to have the opportunity to work with the men and women of VSE and the International Group,” said Mr. Hamerly. “I have been fortunate to serve with such a fine group of true professionals that give everything they have to our customers as well as each other.”
VSE CEO Maurice “Mo” Gauthier said, “I want to take this opportunity to thank Mike for his decades of dedicated service to VSE and the United States Navy. He will be truly missed, and we wish him and his family the very best in the years to come.”

The incoming president, Mr. Flammang, is a graduate of Ohio State University, receiving his commission through the NROTC program. He retired after a 28-year naval career as a Captain. Upon joining VSE in 2004, he served as a Division Program Manager for the foreign military sales program, transferring former U.S. ships to foreign countries as well as providing follow-on-technical support services to these countries. In January 2009 he was appointed Deputy Director of International Group.
