2008 – April 2009. Responsible for standing up and
organizing the Army’s Irregular Warfare (IW) campaign to develop a credible
and relevant IW analytic capability for the Army. This includes assessing
existing IW methods, models, and tools for potential Army utility,
developing a strategy to address key IW modeling gaps previously
identified, and pursuing resourcing through various sponsors. Additional
duties include TRAC’s principal liaison with the Army G-3/5/7 Modeling and
Simulation Task Force, to include advocating for resourcing of critical
Army M&S capabilities.
Deputy Director and Senior Military Analyst, TRADOC Analysis
Center July 2006 – July 2008. Responsible for the
execution of programs conducted by a workforce of nearly 400 military and
