• C. General Larry D. Welch
• D. Major Troy "Trojan" Gilbert, 1995-2006

Answer: (D)

Naming spaces after people is a way to honor individuals who embody the values and sacrifices associated with service. Gilbert Hall carries the name of Major Troy "Trojan" Gilbert, whose service years are listed as 1995–2006. His career as a fighter pilot and leader stands as an example of courage, commitment, and personal sacrifice that OTS aims to instill in new officers. Keeping his name on the hall serves as a daily reminder to students of the standards they are expected to uphold as they prepare to lead. The other figures are notable in their own right, but the established association for this facility is with Major Gilbert and the legacy he represents.
