During this time, I conducted full-spectrum communications across a variety of social media, public speaking, video, and other engagement platforms to inform, and reassure, the more than 2,000 Marines (and family members) that I was personally responsible for. This proved critical managing the challenges presented by multiple overlapping crises such as Hurricanes Florence, Dorian, and COVID-19. Despite the multitude of challenges presented by these crises, my leadership resulted in:- Exceeding more than 135% of our enlisted retention requirements. - A 70% decrease (improvement) in readiness discrepancies.- An 80% reduction (improvement) of disciplinary actions.In praise of my performance, from my evaluation report, "the MWHS is a unique unit with some of the most complex challenges and command relationship of any command, yet Greg makes it look easy."

Leading a brand new team, we literally wrote the operational procedures for the Marine Corps. Additionally, I supervised the execution of the $335+ Million Republic of Georgia Development Program-ISAF (GDP-ISAF) program. In total, throughout the program, my team enabled the training of over 7,000 Republic of Georgia soldiers who deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom while simultaneously building partner capacity to develop the Georgian ability to develop their own battalion training program.Finally, I developed two six-year Foreign Security Force-Capability Based Assessments and Security Cooperation Engagement Plans: one with the Republic of Georgia, and a second with Romania. In total throughout this tenure, my team and I initiated or completed projects with the militaries of Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, and Romania (along with out-of-area projects in Honduras, and the Bahamas).In this position I was cited as “instrumental in achieving U.S. regional security objectives setting the gold standard for unity of effort," and that I “have the big picture mentality required to contribute at the strategic level.” [All quotes from military awards.] Show less

In this capacity, I oversaw a small team who tracked, assigned and processed more than 1,300 reports (including requests from Secretary of Defense, both branches of Congress and from the White House), as well as the internal processing of an additional 2,400 subordinate level reports.In these roles I was recognized as a “stellar performer,” who “excels at mentoring and motivating” my personnel through “superior leadership and coordination skills, and an ability to process large volumes of information.” I remained “poised and confident under pressure,” at all times, and was purposefully selected for this position “due to the complete trust and confidence the chain of command has in [my] judgement and decision making ability.” [All quotes from military awards]During this time, I am proud to have participated in the recovery of an American hero, CAPT Scott Speicher - may God bless his soul and his family be at peace.
