This congressional report and the supporting documentation directly influenced the US Government’s policies and resource decisions relating to Iraq. This required me to evaluate program operations and develop risk-models and base strategies for the evaluation. It also required the identification of quantitative relationships required to define program issues and develop strategies for improvement.Lead for engagements with the Iraqi interior force and ministry leaders to include the Minister of the Interior, Members of Parliament, the commander of the Federal Police and other high ranking government leaders. Resulting in multiple US – Iraqi agreements facilitating the ability for US forces to directly influence Iraqi forces leading to the professionalization of the Iraqi forces so that US troops could withdraw on schedule.Analyzed the Iraqi security force budget and developed a messaging strategy defending Iraqi Security Force Funds resulting in the successful defense of $2 billion of congressional funding Show less

Managed the Army’s population of Operations Research and Systems Analysts (FA49) in the grades of Captain through Lieutenant Colonel. Advised high level managers and senior leaders, to include the Army G8 and PA&E of changes required to force structure and policy for FA49 so that the branch was best positioned to support the National Security Strategy and National Military Strategy as they applied to the United States Army during an ever turbulent period of war.

Advised high level managers and senior leaders, to include the Army G8 and PA&E of changes required to force structure and policy for FA49 so that the branch was best positioned to support the National Security Strategy and National Military Strategy as they applied to the United States Army during an ever turbulent period of war. Evaluated the effects of changing the FA49 force structure over time using methods similar to actuarial science to predict attrition and retention. This required me to evaluate program operations and develop risk-models and base strategies for the evaluation. Trained in Lean Six Sigma for Service which was used in the initiation of a project to streamline the process for Reserve and National Guard Soldiers onto active duty. Show less

This study analyzed the performance of the FCS force and evaluated its effectiveness at the theater level. It applied advanced quantitative and analytical scientific methods to enhance programs and included model and simulation of the system in both unconventional and conventional warfare scenarios. It assessed the performance and effectiveness of this new and substantially modified force concept (when compared to the legacy force). This study informed the Secretary of Defense allowing him to determine investment levels for this multi-billion dollar program.Served as the team leader in charge of the evaluation of the Army’s modular brigade and division force redesign. This effort sought to fine tune the force structure after evaluation of its effectiveness to meet mission requirements. The evaluation included live exercises in the National Training Center as well as an evaluation of 3rd Infantry division in Iraq. It required the application of quality management principles to resolve problems and provides solutions to advance program efforts. This refined a force structure that could better the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Served as the military officer in the TRADOC Analysis Center (TRAC) Methods and Research Office. The office was responsible for helping TRAC advance its ability to apply advanced actuarial science, operations research, mathematics, statistics, data analysis and modeling and simulation to better plan, initiate, and assess major developmental studies. Accomplishments included publication of the Joint Model and Analysis Working Group report that defined DoD wide capabilities to model and analyze joint operations and establishment of a baseline to accurately model dense vegetative areas in tactical models and simulation.
