I led a cross functional team that identified requirements, coordinated and supervised logistics for over 500 Marines (food, water, sanitation, fuel, ammunition, maintenance, transportation).  Whether tracking tactical convoy movements on civilian roads or coordinating delivery of fuel to units hundreds of miles away, I worked to provide flexible pre-arranged contingency plans, as well as high impact immediate solutions that allowed uninterrupted operations even when problems arose.

Assistant Logistics Officer, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines

I was responsible for the overall training and readiness of over 130 Marines and Sailors and day to day operations of a firing battery.  On a daily basis I led team members across departments to identify and solve training, medical readiness, and equipment maintenance deficiencies.  I also oversaw all aspects of field operations, developing, communicating, and supervising a plan to achieve proficiency in Mission Essential Tasks (METs).

Executive Officer, Golf Battery

I was responsible for overall annual training and medical readiness of over 200 Marines and Sailors.  As a leader in the headquarters element, I worked closely with leaders across departments to achieve success during cross functional projects, while still allowing departments to meet their own independent goals.

Executive Officer, Headquarters Battery

I led a specialized 6-10 person team that anticipated, and performed calculations to mitigate, non-standard firing conditions (projectile weight variations, cannon tube wear, temperature, wind, humidity, barometric pressure, and altitude) in order to accurately predict the flight of artillery projectiles for more than 30km.  If unexpected deviations occurred, I utilized troubleshooting procedures to quickly identify the source of error and correct during follow on missions.  I also worked closely with supported unit commanders to communicate the capabilities my unit provided, and demonstrated the high level of technical expertise and attention to detail essential to building their confidence in artillery accuracy and safety.
