Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), U.S. Army Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Analyst and team leader, responsible for supporting Special Operations
Aviation and Special Operations forces in the accomplishment of combat, contingency, and training operations
exploiting various means of GEOINT data. Responsible for expedient, no-notice, critical analysis of
information in order to fulfill customer needs. Manages and provides training to a section of five individuals.
Develops training syllabi in order to maintain and enhance the team’s effectiveness with newly emerging
capabilities further enriching their success.
 Fused multi-discipline intelligence capabilities for product creation. Utilizing ArcGIS, analysts were
able to create maps, view geographic data, and organizing geospatial information in databases for
customer Requests for Information (RFIs). Merging GEOINT with NTM and commercial imagery,
allowed analysts to develop finalized products with accurate real-time data; enabling the command
decision making process.
 Integrated high resolution terrain elevation data sources in his section’s procedure process. This
revolutionary data allowed the analysts to drastically improve their precision to analyze terrain with
minimal inaccuracy. A capability not yet employed by GEOINT personnel military wide.
 Provided extensive development and analysis of Helicopter Landing Zone (HLZ) products, terrain
analysis for route selection, and cultural analysis of buildings and man-made features.
 Multiple deployments totaling 15 months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation
Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn (OIF/OND), and three months in other operational areas. During this time,
exploited NTM, commercial imagery, topographical charts, and LiDAR to create over 500 products
allowing mission planning and execution.
 Developed and implemented training programs to better prepare GEOINT analysts for technical support
to global contingency operations; programs that took analysts 18 months to complete.
