ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — After more than four decades of scientific inquiry and leadership with the U.S. Army, Jim Baker considers his colleagues to be a second family.
"Working at [Edgewood Chemical Biological Center] has been a wonderful experience for me," he says. "I’d like to leave here and [have] people say, ‘I knew Jim Baker, and he was a really nice guy. I really enjoyed working with him. He seemed like a fair and honest individual.’ It’s a great place to work."
Baker’s 43 years of commitment to America’s Soldiers, first as an active-duty officer and then as a civilian scientist, has yielded significant improvements for defense against chemical and biological threats. In a variety of research and management positions, Baker’s work has produced better protective masks, collective protection shelters and personal decontamination kits.
