4. 4
06/12/04 – 08/02/08 50 + Hours per Week. In the Intelligence Director’s (J2)
absence, serve as the Director of Intelligence in charge of 150 joint,
interagency, civilian and contract personnel. Dual-hated as Deputy J2 and the
Chief, Joint Intelligence Interagency Operations Center, Key West (JIIOC-K),
Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S), P.O. Box 9051, Naval Air Station,
Key West, FL. Supervisor: RADM J. Nimmich, Director JIATF-South, phone #:
305-293-5550.
In these roles, I conducted and led daily meetings and discussions with national
and allied intelligence agencies and centers dealing with illicit trafficking and
counter narco-terrorist (CNT) intelligence operations. This collaborative
environment with Joint, Interagency (Customs and Border Protection, DEA, &
FBI) and allied (military/law enforcement personnel from Europe and Latin
America) creates synergizes and optimizes intelligence fusion, real time
dissemination and provides effective force lay down against highly mobile
targets. Led, directed and managed the daily activities (24 x 7) of the JIIOC-K to
coordinate, integrate and synchronize the operations and intelligence targeting
cycle. Applied masterful, expert experience to all tactical intelligence and
operational issues; provide oversight of all intelligence tasking, collection,
analysis, fusion, processing, and exploitation, data basing, tracking, training and
multi-level dissemination of perishable intelligence.
Solely accountable and responsible for reviewing and evaluating the
performance of intelligence support for illicit trafficking operations and making
constant improvements as required. Set policy, procedures and precedents as
required. Review and establish all positions in all areas of intelligence.
Analyzed, reported, compiled, fused, and disseminated multi-intelligence
operations (signals intelligence, imagery and graphics analysis, measurement
and signature intelligence, human intelligence, open source, and information
operations). Researched, integrated and tasked intelligence and information
collection systems for processing, exploitation, and dissemination of highly
perishable intelligence.
Dual assignment as the Chief of the Joint Interagency Information Operations
Center and Project lead for the Innovation and technology Battle Lab, I was the
linchpin for operations integration, targeting cycle, resource capabilities and
planning for National, tactical, and organic platforms in support of Southern
Command, JIATF-South, Interagency and multi-service CT/CNT missions in the
Eastern Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean and Central America 42 million square mile
Joint Area of Operations.

evaluating emerging technologies to determine "best of breed" for intelligence
and operational integration in order to achieve Land, Air, Space and Maritime
Dominance. The intelligence directorate's architect and engineer for JIATF South

5. 5
integrated intelligence/operations advanced analytical collaborative three-
dimensional visualization and decision making capability in support of targeting
highly mobile targets in an Air, Land and Maritime Domain.
Capitalizing on my vast knowledge and experience in research, statistical
analysis, operational metrics, imagery, graphics and targeting cycle analysis in a
real time operational environment, I identified and authored the operational
requirements documentation; design the visualization and systems integration
capability; draft the operations/intelligence protocol solutions; contract the
developmental hardware and software resolutions and peripherals; secured $13
million dollars in funding. These accomplishments established JIATF-South as
one of the principal National Security Agency’s nodes for the Transformation 3.0
Real Time Regional Gateway Architecture, a USDN Non-classified MDA enclave
and National Reconnaissance Office test bed for software development and
integration of advanced maritime tracking technologies.
Extensive collaboration with the National Security Agency, Industry and
Academia professors, scientists and engineers resulted in driving the
technological solutions for integrating fused SIGINT Turbulence Architecture with
the Information Dominance Center Exportable system. I exported this fused data
in a 3-D cross domain solution. This capability is in turn driving the technical and
policy solutions required to fuse the National, operational and tactical sensors
across multiple classification domains while concomitantly displaying the
correlated data on to a three-dimensional "smart" common operational picture
that enhances dynamic geo-rectification of highly mobile asymmetrical targets.
This revolutionary capability is fusing and automatically correlating historically
disparate data from multiple sensor sources and information databases into a
synergistic operational and intelligence Tactical Analysis Table (TAP); developed
via a partnership with Penn State University /Applied Research Lab. The TAP
table provides a collaborative targeting picture displayed in two dimensions on
the JIATF-South SECRET REL 5 Eyes operations floor. Fully operational, this
open architecture, non-proprietary touch activated collaboration and visualization
capability projects current and developing target sets, displays current and
projected operational force lay down, ingests live and projected weather
patterns, provides active collaboration environment between operational and
intelligence decisions makers to optimize scarce analytical, collection and
platform resources. Current data ingests include correlated intelligence (Signals
and Communication Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Open Source,
Measurement and Signature analysis, Interagency information, intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance collection, maritime patrol aircraft and organic
sensor integration). Decision makers can view and collaborate with the data real-
time to determine the most efficient and effective force lay down and collection
management plan that will maximize opportunities for operational successes over
a 96 hour battle rhythm.

SUPPLEMENTAL
MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS
1. Ability to develop and implement strategic plans, policies, standards, and programs in
compliance with legislative and other regulatory requirements to improve the management
and utilization of information and information technology resources within a large, complex
organization; and the ability to promote IT system solutions and lead organizational
changes to take best advantage of state-of-the-art advances in information technology.
The rapid shift in workforce demographics, prompted by a flattened world,
portends rapid cultural and technological transformations. Within DoD the
dramatic and rapid changes revealed programmatic inefficiencies and an
abysmal lack of technological capabilities readily available in the commercial and
academic sectors. This “clash in capabilities” and cultural disconnects results in
our “millennium sailors and government employees” becoming frustrated, and
frankly; bored. At OPNAV, JIATF-South, NSA Hawaii and USCENTCOM, I
chartered transformational ‘think tanks’ consisting of a sampling of analysts,
operators and decision makers; mediated by an academic consultants. First
deliverable was to provide top-ten desires that leadership can implement to
improve morale and mission accomplishment. In each case, that top-ten list
formed the basis for our organization’s vision and strategy for transformation in
all four complex and diverse organizations. Results are a matter of record.
Established the first ever National Maritime Intelligence Center (NMIC) in
Suitland and JOINT INTERAGENCY INFORMATION OPERATIONS CENTER
(JIIOC) in Key West, Fl as: one of three NSA’s Real Time Regional Gateway’s
transformational nodes; one of USDI’s three MDA Spiral 2.0 Non-classified
Enclaves and NRO’s Maritime Battle Lab for “best-of-breed” development, testing
and fielding of maritime “dark target” advanced technological hardware, software
and experimental platform capabilities. ONI and JIATF-S were selected by the
NSA, NRO, DARPA and the Rapid Release Technology Office as the test bed for
Operation Thunderstorm-an exercise designed to test myriad advanced ISR
sensor, platform, data-mining, cloud computing and enhanced communication
capabilities. These successes for ONI and JIATF-South has global implications
and are the result of 30 years of passionate and persistent efforts at the National,
Strategic and tactical levels to recognize and implement the policy, managerial
and technology changes necessary to embrace the critical necessity for fusing
DoD and Interagency information and intelligence as a synergistic-global-open-
architecture proved critical to the systemic changes necessary to fight the Global
War on Terrorism. In order to promote and lead these types of organization and
technological transformations at JIATF-South, I began with:

11. 11
 Establishing the first ever NMIC in Suitland and (JIIOC) in Key West, Fl.
Integrating National to Tactical intelligence and operational decision
makers and analysts/clients from DoD and Interagency into an open space,
open architecture watch floor environment void of partitions or walls to
separate and isolate communication or contact. For the JIIOC, initially,
none were willing participants, and I knew a quick success would go a long
way in making believers out of this diverse and stove-piped group. That
success came in one week with the near real-time delivery of
NRO/NSA/CIA/DIA/DEA/ FBI/CBP/NGA combined and correlated
intelligence and information that led to the seizure of a high value target
and vessel suspected of carrying WMD. Since then there have been
myriad successes; most recent, the capture of number 2 terrorist on the
FBI’s most wanted list and seizure of 16 self-propelled semi-submersible
and 4 fully submersible submarines.
 Gaining access to multiple DoD and Interagency cross domain data sets.
Designed and developed a two and three dimensional collaborative
environment for the ingestion, correlation, fusion, and dissemination of
intelligence and information across the U.S. Government Law
Enforcement, Defense and Intelligence equities. These agencies include
DOJ/DOC/DOT, LEA, DoD and all IC enterprise communities of interest.
At NSA-Hawaii, I was the Commander-NSA Hawaii, Commanding Officer Naval
Security Command, Hawaii and Base Host of a unique underground Sensitive
Compartmented Intelligence facility hosting 2,500 multi-service, contract and
National Security Agency civilian employees conducting 24 hour signals
intelligence mission in support of National, strategic, and tactical intelligence
requirements worldwide. I established “centers of excellence” working panels to
develop the vision and strategy during my tenure. These centers were made up
of volunteers from all walks of life, regardless of rank or service. Our strategy
focused on three main areas---innovation and technology; improving mission
accomplishment and leading change in complex organizations. As a result of
these non-attribution, no-holds barred panel discussions and recommendations
we accomplished the following:
 Removed physical and virtual partitions, walls and curtains throughout the
44,000 square foot facility; integrated the collection and analysis functions
by target sets vs. geographical boundaries. Integrated DoD and senior
civilians into a 24X7 watch posture. Collapsed myriad day only functions
and placed the operational watch as the centerpiece of our command.
 Campaigned for and received NGA analytical personnel and funding in
support of our Signals Intelligence Mission—now common place
throughout the NSA enterprise.

12. 12
 Received funding from NRO and established a Signals Analysis Battle Lab
(SAL) for developing, testing and fielding new correlation algorithms for
integration of National and tactical sensor collection and dissemination of
common operational picture to afloat forces.
 In concert with academia (PSU/ARL), Designed, developed, accredited
and fielded the Kunia Advanced Visualization Environment (KAVE).
Overlaid SIGINT and MASINT for geolocation, force tracking and forensic
analysis.
 Aligned our centers of excellence around skill sets; not service equities.
First Army E-5 to receive the coveted subsurface Dolphins was a seminal
result of the cultural barriers we collectively overcame.
At USCENTCOM I was initially assigned as Chief of Doctrine & Architectures and
Future Concepts (USCENTCOM); then Chief of Targeting and Battle Damage
Assessment.
 Baselined existing systems, software and communications architecture for
USCENTCOM proper and 14 deployed bases and sites. Developed the
strategy for a revolutionary new architecture, interoperable systems and
communications capabilities. Developed and authored all programmatic
documentation, engineering specifications, accreditation packages and
received the funding for state-of-the art systems, software and
communication mediums more suited for a warfare environment.
 Integrated on both operational and technical fourteen Kinetic and non-
kinetic systems and capabilities under the one Directorate. Integrated
disparate Intelligence Systems into one consolidated, automatically
updated display that could be disseminated at the SECRET Collateral level
to coalition partners.
 Campaigned for, received funding and built a separate Research &
Development Battle Lab to test “best of breed” automation, correlation,
integration, dissemination and display capabilities. Networked with DoD,
industry and academia to drive the technology from the analyst/operator
point of view. Established the baseline requirement to integrate all “INT”
Targeting solutions into one targeting package that is automatically
updated; revolutionized policy, doctrine and the culture of integrating
intelligence and providing fully-integrated targeting solutions.

13. 13
 Authored engineering solutions and operational requirements documents,
evaluated emerging technologies, reviewed and provided COCOM
revisions to Army doctrine to adapt to emerging war fighting processes and
capabilities.
 Drove the development of advanced concept and technology solutions;
hosted Beta site testing in parallel with existing architecture to determine
efficiencies. Responsible for the acquisition and fielding of current,
programmed and Advanced Capabilities Technology Demonstrations
(ACTD) capabilities into an integrated joint, combined and coalition
architecture; acquisition and contractual program exceeded $1.2 Billion
annually.
2. Demonstrated ability to analyze situations from a multi-disciplinary perspective taking
into account the broad array of customer and stakeholder interests, varied data sets, and
the factors and circumstances that impact the problem presented to deliver innovative,
state-of-the-art software and hardware technologies, capabilities, and process solutions.
“Trauma breeds Innovation,” As Chief of Targets & Battle Damage Assessment
at USCENTCOM, the tremendous challenge of integrating 7 stovepipe
intelligence systems (Kinetic and non-kinetic) displayed on 7 separate screens
while concomitantly manually updating targeting packages, mensurating target
sets, assessing Battle Damage Assessments from the previous Air Tasking
Order (ATO) and developing the next ATO and collection management plan was
both a customer requirement and an enlightening and traumatic experience. That
experience became the genesis of my vision, passion and persistence to lead
and revolutionize both managerial culture and technical capabilities inherent to
intelligence support to the targeting and operations cycle writ large.
 Capitalizing on my experience as Chief of Doctrine & Architectures and
Future Concepts (USCENTCOM), I organizationally integrated fourteen
Kinetic and non-kinetic systems and capabilities under the J2 Directorate.
Combining J2 and J3 stakeholder interests, I fully integrated disparate
multi-int, multi-security domains, intelligence Systems into one
consolidated, automatically updated display that could be disseminated at
the SECRET Collateral level to U.S. forces and coalition partners.
 Combined the operations and intelligence watches: removed walls,
dismantled partitions; consolidated all ‘INTs’ under one umbrella and stood
up cells of excellence based upon target sets vice geographical
boundaries. Integrated cells into one consolidated watch 24X7 in direct
support of current and planned operations.
 Developed a comprehensive training and awareness program dubbed
‘Know thy Enemy” and brought in noted experts from clergy, academia,
industry, media and DoD to develop an astute appreciation of the history,
culture and environment of our adversary.

14. 14
 Campaigned for and received funding to build a separate Research &
Development Battle Lab to test “best of breed” automation, correlation,
integration, dissemination and display capabilities. Networked with DoD,
industry and academia to drive the technology from the analyst/operator
point of view. Established the baseline requirement to integrate all “INT”
targeting solutions into one targeting package that is automatically
updated; revolutionized policy, doctrine and the culture of integrating
intelligence and providing fully-integrated targeting solutions.
 Instilled a sense of urgency and passion to eliminate collateral damage and
focus on networks vice entities, using a combination of kinetic and non-
kinetic capabilities. Integrated Coalition Targeting policies and capabilities
and drove the implementation of National and Strategic policy and
directives for implementing a synergistic Information Operations and
Conventional Campaign plan.
 Realized the importance and drove the integration, of Judge Advocate
General personnel into the Target Vetting process to ensure each target
set met National objectives while weighing political sensitivities.
 Authored intelligence collection, processing, exploitation, and
dissemination requirements, baselined front-end and back-end existing
systems and communications architecture. Authored USCENTCOM
strategy for Command, Control, Computer, Communications, Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architecture designed to share
intelligence information in a fully automated environment that provided real-
time actionable intelligence, and a common operational picture to
combined, joint, and coalition forces at the appropriate classification levels.
 Developed the vision, strategy and stood up the Joint Information
Interagency Operations Center at JIATF-South with the purpose of bringing
unique capabilities and accesses of a DoD/Interagency Task Force to bear
on highly mobile target sets in a resource constrained environment
spanning 42 million square miles.
 Fully integrated all JIATF-South DoD and Interagency intelligence policy
and analytic personnel into the JIIOC without partitions or separate office
spaces. Integration led to an unprecedented synergy within the command.
Despite reduced funding for platforms and manpower, we set the record for
the largest illicit trafficking seizures in the history of JIATF-South.

15. 15
3. Expert knowledge and experience in collaboration methods and tools. Demonstrated
ability to identify areas of common interest and partners for potential engagement and
collaboration and long-term advocacy and resource strategies for critical intelligence
capabilities.
Capitalized on acknowledged success with NSA-H KAVE and my continued
network relationships with Academia, Industry and DoD Think tanks; obtained
outside funding and stood up the Key West three-dimensional Advanced
Visualization Environment (KAVE) designed to automatically access, correlate,
update and disseminate target packages across multiple security domains in
real-time. As a result of this innovative and bold technology JIATF-South
demonstrated the capability to fuse and correlate large volumes of information
from myriad sensor and data base sources, display the current force lay down
and status, display the collection management strategy, overlay critical weather
data, provide network analysis and social diagrams and automatically generate
requests from multiple agencies for additional information. This seminal
capability:
 Secured $13 million dollar funding and JIATF South selection as one of the
three principal nodes for NSA’s transformation 3.0 architecture.
 Drove Executive order and Security integration and dissemination policy
changes at the National level
 Quantifiably proved the nexus between illicit narcotics, arms for drugs and
the Global War on Terrorism.
 Garnered Congressional, DoD and Industry recognition and support of the
value of a Joint Interagency organizational construct against the Global
War on Terrorism.
 Provided the précis for (NIC-P) mission directive that broaden our
operational mandate to include all illicit trafficking.
 Becoming the Lead Project Manager for research and identification of
technical solutions and evaluating emerging technologies to determine
"best of breed" for intelligence and operational integration in order to
achieve Land, Air, Space and Maritime Superiority against highly mobile
asymmetrical targets. I became the Director JIATF-South’s architect and
engineer for integrated intelligence/operations advanced analytical
collaborative two dimensional interactive, collaboration capability known as
the SECRET REL 5EYES Tactical analysis Table (TAP) and three-
dimensional SCI visualization and decision making capability known as the
Key West Advanced Visualization Environment (KAVE). Both capabilities
allow metadata mining and collaboration in direct support of targeting
highly mobile asymmetrical targets in an Air, Land and Maritime Domain.

Both collaborative environments are open architecture, non-proprietary and
inexpensive when compared to less than comparable capabilities both in
the DoD and the commercial sector. So successful, these interactive,
collaborative dimensional environments are now resident at CFFC,
JIEDDO, CAIOC, NRO and NGA with wider instantiations planned for this
year at Interagency and Dept of Homeland Security entities.
4. Demonstrated leadership proficiency and Enterprise spanning perspective. Strong
leadership and management experience, competency in Joint matters, and experience with
Navy and other DoD/Intelligence Community information management technologies,
processes, and tools.
None of the aforementioned successes happened without a great deal of
organizational discomfort, both internally and externally. Human beings, by
nature, are resistant to change or step outside cultural comfort Zones. I believed
if I could instill the sense of urgency and passion into each organization and see
eyes light up to possibilities then we would achieve success together.
 At NSA-Hawaii, I was the Commander, Commanding Officer Naval
Security Command, Hawaii, and Base Host of a unique underground
Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence facility hosting 2,500 multi-service,
contract and National Security Agency civilian employees conducting 24-
hour signals intelligence missions in support of National, strategic, and
tactical intelligence requirements worldwide.
 Established “centers of excellence” working panels to develop the NSA-H
vision and strategy during my tenure. These centers were made up of
volunteers from all walks of life, regardless of rank or service. Our
strategy focused on three main areas---innovation and technology;
improving mission accomplishment and leading change in complex
organizations.
 Extensive collaboration with the National Security Agency, DISA, NRO,
NGA, DNI, Industry, and Academia professors, scientists and engineers
resulted in driving the technological, policy and accreditation solutions for
integrating fused COMINT into RTRG (IA2).
 Established the first ever (Joint Interagency Information Operations
Center-(JIIOC), integrating intelligence and operational decision makers
with analysts/clients from DoD and Interagency (NRO/NSA/CIA/DIA/DEA/
FBI/CBP/NGA) into an open space, open architecture watch floor
environment void of partitions or walls that separate and isolate
communication or contact.

 Networked with NRO, NSA and JIEDDO resulting in the selection and
funding of JIATF-South for “Big Pipes”. Increased communications
bandwidth to 10GB through Dark Fiber. This was a significant hurdle to
overcome to realize the full power of RTRG.
5. Excellent communication skills to include the ability to guide others toward the adoption
of an idea, assumption, or conclusions that is in the best interest of the overall mission and
organization and effectively communicate with others not knowledgeable about one’s
discipline.
Motivating organizations to transform and excel begins with instilling a sense of
urgency and passion for the mission. Leaders must socialize the vision, and
influence the hearts, minds and work ethic of the workforce. A leader must
motivate and encourage free flow of communication—without fear of retribution.
It has been my leadership philosophy to foster a collaborative environment,
within each organization, so we can collectively determine strategic plan to
realize our greatest potential and dissect that strategy into manageable,
quantifiable pieces—develop the end state and reverse engineer. All of the
above achievements could not have been possible without a motivated and
engaged work force.
 By listening to and soliciting open communication from every person,
regardless of rank or position, led to designing combined
operations/intelligence watch floor at CENTCOM/NSA-H and JIATF-S.
 Out in front and visible leadership – daily. My charismatic personality,
passion for delivering advanced capabilities, gut-level honesty and a “roll
up your sleeves” work ethic gets immediate attention. Reaching out to
everyone, knowing them by name and taking the time to pay attention go a
long way. It is the “Hawthorn affect” and it works especially well when
fostering the organizational trust needed for dramatic change which was
clearly evidenced at CENTCOM, NSA-H and now JIATF-South.
 Establishing JIATF-South as one of three NSA transformational nodes and
is the result of 10 years of passionate-persistent efforts at the National,
Strategic and tactical levels to recognize and implement the policy,
managerial and technology changes necessary to embrace correlating and
disseminating DoD and Interagency information in a synergistic
architecture. An architecture critical to our collective abilities to fight the
Global War on Terrorism.

 Integrating senior level personnel from DoD and Interagency onto a watch
floor environment without office spaces and no wall to separate took some
finagling. Initially, none were willing participants and I knew a quick
success would go a long way in making believers out of this diverse and
stove piped group. That success came in less than one week with the
consolidated efforts of NSA/CIA/DIA/DEA/FBI/CBP/NGA coordination,
collection, tracking and seizure of a High value target and vessel suspected
of carrying WMD. Since then there have been myriad successes, most
notably the capture of number 2 criminal on the FBI’s most wanted list and
seizure of two self-propelled semi-submersible submarines.
Quantifiable and well documented success in fostering enduring relationships
within DoD, Interagency, Academia, Industry, coalition and partner nations
resulted in achieving monetary and mission success with long-lasting benefits
and efficiencies. The KAVE is a direct result of my ability to effectively
communicate, build solid partnership and coalitions and take a vision and make it
funding reality. To this extent I:
 Aggressively sought out and maintained a virtually collaborate with a
network of peers—resulted in approval and funding for a first ever 3-
Dimensional KAVE at NSA-H and JIATF-South.
 Placed JIATF-South in DC limelight. Acknowledged by the DoD, IC and
Interagency top leadership as the leader in innovation and advanced
technologies against hard, highly mobile, “dark targets.”
 Briefed over 200 Congressional Staffers, General Officers and High level
visitors from Industry and Academia. Selected as a Naval War College
honorary fellow, keynote speaker at NRO, MDA, ACTD, DARPA and
advanced concepts and visualization conferences and seminars.
 Extensive collaboration with the National Security Agency, DISA, NRO,
NGA, DNI, Industry, and Academia professors, scientists and engineers
resulted in driving the technological, policy and accreditation solutions for
integrating fused COMINT into the RTRG (IA2). I am currently ingesting
approved and accredited fused data into the TAP Table and KAVE
environments. This capability is in turn is providing demonstrated proof that
supports the technical and policy solutions required to fuse the National,
operational and tactical sensors across multiple classification domains
while concomitantly displaying the correlated data on a "smart" common
operational picture.
