I interacted with John Mark on a regular basis as a member of his Battalion and a Red Team Lead. His interpersonal skills are above average, as he knows how to lead and connect teams and individuals in any situation. His ability to solve complex problems with a specialty in Information Operations gives him an edge above many others. It was truly a pleasure working under his command and I would gladly work with John Mark again in the future.", "John Mark is a considerate, motivational, and driven leader. The years I spent working for him were exciting and filled with energy. Our most successful initiatives within the organization were accomplished only through his ability to close deals and influence others. Of John Mark's leadership skills, I envied most his ability to confront difficult personnel challenges with impartiality and compassion. I've never witnessed a leader with such superb ability and desire to mentor peers and subordinates. Truly, John Mark is one of the best leaders I've served with in the military.", and "John Mark Wilson is a tremendous leader with whom it was my privilege to serve during my last combat deployment in Iraq. John Mark is an absolute stellar professional Army officer who embodies all that epitomizes a senior Army leader and manager. He possesses a keen intellect and commands the technical aspects of information operations like no other. He builds strong internal and external relationships through thoughtful and targeted strategic communications. John Mark clearly understands and lives out the philosophy that leading is about relationships and strengthening them through personal engagement with your subordinates, peers, and leaders. What I admire most about John Mark is his passion...he is an absolute bulldog when it comes to attacking a problem. He will thoughtfully develop plans and courses of action gaining consensus and input from others; but when it's time to execute, he is without peer in his zeal and enthusiasm to get things done. John Mark has a tremendous future in the US Army, but when he hangs up his uniform for the last time, he will be an absolute asset to any company or organization who hires him. It was my honor to serve with John Mark in Iraq and it remains my honor to call him a "Brother in Arms" and friend."
