NAWL Congratulates Colonel Maritza Ryan on her Retirement from the U.S. Army

Today Head of the Law Department at the U.S. Military Academy

and former NAWL Board member Colonel Maritza S. Ryan retires

from the U.S. Army.

COL Ryan started her military career by graduating from West

Point in 1982 - no small feat as her class was only the third class

to include women. Following West Point, COL Ryan entered the

Field Artillery but was able to attend and graduate from

Vanderbilt Law School through the Army's Funded Legal

Education Program, perhaps the most selective educational

opportunity in the Army. Selected for her outstanding military

record and academic achievements, the then Captain Ryan was

chosen by the Army's Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps and

later was assigned as a military advisor to a brigade fighting in

Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm. Not only was she

one of only a few women in a brigade of 1,000 soldiers, but she

was also a new mother who had to leave her husband and 14-

month old baby at home. In 2001 after a courageous battle with

cancer, COL Ryan returned to West Point as the Deputy of the

Department of Law where she was described as being its heart

and soul.
