Brian Berning is a Combatant Command Integration Lead at Research Innovations Incorporated. He possess expertise in defense, dod, intelligence, military operations, military and 45 more skills. He is proficient in Korean and French. Colleagues describe him as "Brian Berning is perhaps the single most knowledgeable and skilled targeting officer for whom I've ever worked; there are only a handful of officers or government civilians as adept at targeting policy, plans, and procedures. Additionally, he is a highly-respected and proven intelligence leader in high-pressure combat operations in both the CENTCOM and PACOM AORs.
Most importantly, when it comes to operationalizing the commander's intent, Brian has the vision and drive to be the fulcrum around which both intelligence and operations personnel pivot. During his tenure as the Chief of Target Intelligence at United States Forces Korea//Combined Forces Command, he turned around a sclerotic "policy shop," and through a herculean effort instituted the course corrections to transform the *entire targeting enterprise* back towards operational effectiveness. Not one to shy away from doing what is right in favor of what is expedient, Brian stood toe-to-toe with senior officers who were determined to thwart the commanding general's expressly-stated vision and intent.
No one man or woman does it all alone - but Brian proved to be uniquely capable in marshalling towards the same goal the talents and skills of personnel across intelligence disciplines, four US military services, a dozen intelligence agencies and entities, several competing US intelligence contractors, and various Korean counterparts. Of particular note, Brian adroitly integrated ten newly-assigned junior soldiers, who had no target intelligence training prior to assignment, and developed them into effective targeteers.
Should your agency or company require a dedicated problem-solving leader, you need look no further than Brian Berning."
Listed skills include Defense, Dod, Intelligence, Military Operations, and 46 others.
