• Summary: 17 years Cyber experience in policy formulation, interpretation and employment of
Cyber capabilities and 25 years experience with SIGINT. Beginning at JSOC in 1999, developed
and aided in the formulation of Cyber Policy so that JSOC could use Cyber, then called Information
Operations, to be integrated into exercises and later real world operations. As the USAEREUR G2 for
Architecture, worked to employ SIGINT and Cyber in operations for support of operations in Bosnia;
Kosovo; Afghanistan; Iraq and other locations. As the Deputy Commander of INSCOM, one of the
primary duties became the development and creation of the US Army Cyber Command, on line
counterintelligence, as well as aiding in the creation and delineation of Cyber Capabilities across the
military to include the later formation of the 780th
Cyber Brigade, expansion and realignment of the
1st
Information Operations Command to support the Army and SOCOM/JSOC and the later creation
of the JSOC CNO Squadron. In industry, continued to help develop policy to for Human Intelligence
to support Cyber and Cyber to support CI/HUMINT. Also aided in the creation and fielding of
several Cyber Capabilities currently used by J3 and J5 USCYBERCOM as well as NSA TAO. All of
these required knowledge of PPDs, NSDPs, HSPDs, PPD-20, PPD-28, NSPD 38 as well as well as
HSPD 23 and helped to provide input into their formation over the years.
• JSOC J2 Plans and OPS June 1999 – June 2001: Aided the JSOC J3 Information Operations
Officer, now MG John Davis, in the planning what is now called Cyber in JSOC exercises. This
required direct coordination with the SECDEF and his staff, NSA and other intelligence organizations
to include White House Advisors. Initially everything was on closed systems and PDAS. Aided in
the interpretation of policy from the JSOC and SOCOM perspective, particularly with NSA and OSD.
This required work from the law and abstract policy level to implementation at the same time. The
policy documents at that time were more primitive and it was difficult to explain the national security
objectives and how JSOC could achieve those objectives through various Cyber/Information
Operations and SIGINT capabilities. It truly required reading all USC Title 10, 50, 20 and 18 as well
as the other existing policy documents at that time. Then proving with our exercise applications the
validity and requirement for Cyber/Information Operations. Those operations could be controlled
without collateral damage. This involved briefings to the SECDEF, his staff, NSA and Congressional
Liaison. This required development, assessment and implementation of several classified projects that
were SAP, STO and others. Some slides about these capabilities and exercises were briefed to
POTUS. All of this was based on warfighter requirements.
• June 2001 – June 2002 Visiting Defence Fellow at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario,
Canada and Completion of the US Army War College: Assigned to a think Tank in Canada that
supported the Prime Minister’s Cabinet, the Privy Council Office (Canada’s West Wing), the Chief of
the Canadian Defense Staff, Canada’s NATO representative, Canada’s Doctrine Command and the
Royal Military Academy. Provided policy advice to several ministers and the prime minister that
became classified because the Canadian government did now want the Canadian public to know they
were receiving policy advice from an American serving officer. Aided in the redesign of the
Canadian National Military Command Center and the Privy Council Office with systems that could
aid them in the Global War On Terrorism and with SIGINT and sanitized Cyber
information/intelligence for the Prime Minister and tactical forces. Often reported directly to
DEPSECSTATE Armitage as well as the NSA front office. Read on to the Canadian Official Secrets
act and was often put in awkward situations that required careful coordination with NSA, CIA and the
American Embassy. Made policy recommendations concerning Canadian Foreign and Intelligence

Policy with the United States, China, Iran, Kosovo, NATO and Bosnia. Selected by Canada and US
State Department to be an Elections Supervisor in Kosovo.
• June 2002 – June 2007 USAREUR G2 Plans, Ops and Architecture: Tasked to aid in the
development of the Architecture in Afghanistan because of demonstrated expertise in USAREUR,
created a project to improve the architecture in Afghanistan that included how SIGINT and Cyber
could better support operations given the state of policy at that time. Personally tasked by the CG
USAREUR with writing the scenarios for all mission rehearsal exercises of all deploying units using
95% real world intelligence and to incorporate real world SIGINT and Cyber/Information Operations
into the exercise. One of the items injected into the exercise was thumb drives being sold on the
economy, everyone laughed that would not happen but once the unit was in Afghanistan they
discovered classified thumb drives being sold at the local market because. Aided in the
implementation of certain special access capabilities for intelligence collection that used both SIGINT
and Cyber for ACCM and Once again, this required careful understanding of policies, as they
existed at the time. Developed theater and Army Service component policy and foreign engagement
places, procedures and regulations for USAREUR G3 for Crisis Action Team and G2 (SIGINT,
Cyber and HUMINT Operations, and Contract Oversight). Directed by the CG USAREUR to lead the
USAREUR G3 Crisis Action Team for 7 months to include mitigation of Cyber threats and
performed command and control of the 173rd
Abn Bde and its’ hand over to SOCCENT CG for
parachute jump into Iraq. Had to assess and downsize USAREUR projects constantly. Reduced from
800 contractors down to 200 over a 5 year period. This was based on operational warfighter
requirements and the lessening of those requirements due to our presence in Kosovo, Bosnia and our
ability to be more effective and efficient with new systems and programs. All of this was based on
Warfighter requirements.
• 2007 – 2009 Deputy Commander US Army Intelligence and Security Command: Selected by the
Army Intelligence Senior Leaders to be the Deputy Commander of INSCOM. Uniquely qualified due
to experience in Cyber policy formulation, force structure, development of programs and projects.
They saw me not just as a manager but a true practitioner that understood Cyber from all of the
aspects of law, policy, establishment of units, and TTPs. Lead recommended changes to Cyber
Policy, USSIDS and other pertinent policies for two years and was in charge of Congressional liaison
for INSCOM. Ensured that INSCOM developed its’ own robust Cyber policy and planning
capability. Often coordinated directly with DIR NSA, OSD Staff and other IC agencies that included
who would be in charge of Cyber in the US Army, how INSCOM would support and deconflict
between US Army Cyber, US Cyber Command, NSA, Combatant Commands, Army Component
Commands, and Special Mission Units. In charge of a $2.2 billion budget with 16,000 personnel.
Provided policy or intelligence analysis as required by the National Command Authority.
Coordinated these issues with other Congress, other agencies and services as well as combatant
commands. Directed to aid in fixes to HUMINT/CI; IT architecture; contracts and moving enduring
missions to based funding. Also had to explain the online CI concept and protect it from other
agencies. This required direct coordination with DIR NSA and explaining how the documents and
policies at the time permitted this kind of operation. Convinced all agencies involved that the Army
Field Support Command, later that Army Operations Group could support Cyber through
CI/HUMINT means that was adopted and currently practiced today. All of this was based on
warfighter requirements.
