As the Patriot Commander, my team of over 70 personnel and I were forward deployed for twelve months providing air and missile defense for strategic military assets.As the THAAD Commander, my team of over 95 personnel and I worked directly with multiple Department of Defense Agencies to include Lockheed Martin, the Missile Defense Agency, and Raytheon.
