Lieutenant General Mark C. Schwartz, U.S. Army, Retired, brings deep national-security, special-operations, and interagency leadership experience to AmForge. A career Green Beret, General Schwartz retired from the U.S. Army in 2022 after a distinguished military career leading complex missions across the U.S. defense and national-security enterprise.
General Schwartz’s relationship with the AmForge team is grounded in long-standing trust developed through prior military service and national-security work with Drew Horn and others in the AmForge network. Since retiring, he has continued to work across veteran service, leader development, security, and mission-driven organizations. He brings AmForge senior judgment on strategic risk, operational discipline, government coordination, and the national-security implications of critical minerals and nuclear-fuel resilience.
For AmForge, General Schwartz’s experience is directly relevant to projects that sit at the intersection of defense readiness, allied coordination, secure logistics, critical infrastructure, and strategic supply chains. His background strengthens AmForge’s ability to frame critical minerals and nuclear fuels not merely as commercial markets, but as national-security execution problems requiring disciplined coordination across government, industry, and allied partners.
