- John Bruce Medaris (12 May 1902 – 11 July 1990) was an officer in the United States Army during World War II and post war government administrator overseeing development of ballistic missiles. During World War II Medaris was a colonel in the ordnance corps of the First Army, participating in the North Africa campaign, the Allied invasion of Sicily, Normandy landings, the Battle of the Bulge, and the invasion of Germany. In 1955 Medaris assumed command of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Under his supervision, Wernher von Braun and the German Rocket Team developed the Jupiter missile in 1958. After the Defense department removed responsibilities for long-range ballistic missiles from the Army, Medaris retired and wrote a critical memoir. Several years after retirement, Medaris was ordained as an Anglican priest. (en)
