Dr. London was nominated by USNI's Chief Executive Officer,
Major General
Thomas L. Wilkerson, USMC (Ret.), who cited Dr. London's experience in defense

specifically supports America's Sea Services - the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard - and has earned an outstanding reputation for intellectual
rigor and honesty. As the institute states, its mission is "Defending America
through the power of ideas."
As a USNI board member, Dr. London will play a support role in fundraising
and financial management at the board level, as well as in sponsorship
activities. He will also support USNI initiatives for innovation in the way it
communicates with its constituents and the American public.
CACI itself has played a role in USNI communications, as its CACI
Productions Group (CPG) filmed and produced the institute's "Americans At War"
series for presentation on the Public Broadcasting System. While Dr. London
had no personal role in the project, he says: "I am very proud of our support
for this critical USNI initiative preserving America's unparalleled legacy in
defending freedom. The documentary is a 'living history' of our veterans'
accomplishments, in their own words and experiences."
Dr. London joined CACI in 1972, became President and Chief Executive
Officer in 1984, Chairman of the Board in 1990, and Executive Chairman in

firm to become a pacesetter in professional services and IT solutions across
markets throughout North America and Western Europe. CACI operations today are
worldwide and global in nature.
CACI has sustained its success in part through Dr. London's highly
successful strategic acquisitions program. Since 1993, CACI has made 40
acquisitions that have greatly strengthened its position in managed networks,
information assurance, and the security and intelligence services markets. He
has led the company's continued growth from by taking advantage of emerging
trend lines and positioning CACI to develop capabilities of increasing value
to clients. A well-known public speaker on the subject of ethics in business,
Dr. London annually presents the Dr. J. Phillip London Award for Promoting
Ethical Behavior at the HR Leadership Awards of Greater Washington each year.
Upon on his election Dr. London said, "On behalf of CACI, I am extremely
proud and honored to serve on the U.S. Naval Institute Board of Directors.
USNI has provided valuable and essential services to the U.S. Navy and our
country for more than 135 years. It is a privilege to be counted among its top
decision-makers and to support our sailors, marines, and coast guardsmen with
the intellectual tools and resources they need to carry out their missions and
keep America strong, safe, and free."
