Alex Gier Email & Phone Number

My name is Alex Gier, I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. My current duty station is with Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF) aboard Naval Support Facility Indian Head Maryland. I have been at this unit since the beginning of October 2019. My first duty station was with 1st Battalion 2nd Marine Regiment in Camp Lejeune North Carolina. While there I was the CBRN chief and had the opportunity to deploy to Romania as well as apart of the 22nd MEU.While in Romania, my primary task was to work with different NATO militaries and teach them different defense tactics against chemical and biological warfare. I had the opportunity to see how other countries react in CBRN environments and demonstrate and instruct some of the skills the Marine Corps has given me.While deployed with the 22nd MEU, I had the opportunity to spend some time in the Middle East and act as the CBRN subject matter expert for the logistical base I was stationed at. While there, I assisted in the development and implementation of training response plans from potential CBRN hazards. This was a great opportunity because it required me to work with other branches of the United State Military and to coordinate multiple aspects that play a part in emergency response situations.While stationed at CBIRF, I have had the privilege to be a squad leader and be a small unit leader. I have dedicated my time to developing subordinate Marines and finding ways to improve on response procedures. I have developed and supervised decontamination operations for first responders for multiple federal agencies involved with two separate national events.During my time in the Marine Corps, I have received many certifications ranging from Hazardous Material Technician to Incident Command Systems 800. I have attended multiple residence courses, and have responded to multiple real world hazardous environments. I have been given the tools to effectively lead a team of individuals into dangerous environments and execute the required mission effectively.
