  • Lessons Learned from Yama Sakura 81: Multi-Domain Considerations for Air and Missile Defense Operations

    Air Defense Artillery Journal (2022, Issue 1)

    (see pages 26-29)

    It was my pleasure to have participated in Exercise Yama Sakura 81 (YS81) in Japan November-December 2021. I was the Air and Missile Defense (AMD) subject matter expert of a team from the 1st Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). The ten-person team was divided into three sub-teams to augment, assist, and advise U.S. and allied counterparts at three echelons during the exercise: I Corps, United States Army-Pacific, and United States Army-Japan. My sub-team was assigned to…

My sub-team was assigned to augment, assist, and advise I Corps, where I spent most of my time integrated with the G3 AMD cell in an effort to bring multi-domain operations (MDO) relevance to the exercise as it relates to AMD. There were two major lessons from the exercise in the realm of MDO related to AMD operations that are worth sharing: 1) multi-domain threat considerations for AMD operations and 2) the use of airspace model kits when the cyber domain is contested.

    The objective of this project was to completely modernize the organization's warfighting equipment and technology in preparation for an upcoming scheduled deployment. This project was nested within a larger project involving my organization, my sister organizations, and our parent organization.

    The objective of this project was to completely modernize the organization's warfighting equipment and technology in preparation for an upcoming scheduled deployment. This project was nested within a larger project involving my organization, my sister organizations, and our parent organization. As the director of my organization, I was overall responsible for the project's smooth execution and delivery, with many responsibilities being delegated to my deputy director, who served in a similar capacity of a project coordinator for this project. This project followed the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) framework. MDMP is a separate framework that the military uses that is neither waterfall nor agile. The planning and execution are most similar in nature to waterfall, however, it can also be utilized with an iterative, incremental, and/or continuous delivery approach, depending on the project or operation. In the case of this project, it was predictive planning but incremental execution and delivery. The objective was met with over $60 million of technology being modernized within the organization which ultimately led to a reduction of outgoing funds by 33% on the subsequent deployment due to the reduced need for replacement parts having to be shipped from the United States to the middle east.

  • Deployed Patriot Gunnery Training & Evaluation Program

    –

    The objective of this project was to ensure the readiness of an organization to rapidly and appropriately respond to an imminent air and/or missile threat against critical strategic assets. The project consisted of daily training, quarterly evaluations from external evaluators, semi-annual training, and a semi-annual evaluation from external evaluators. This project followed the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) framework. TLP is a separate framework that the military uses that is neither…

    The objective of this project was to ensure the readiness of an organization to rapidly and appropriately respond to an imminent air and/or missile threat against critical strategic assets. The project consisted of daily training, quarterly evaluations from external evaluators, semi-annual training, and a semi-annual evaluation from external evaluators. This project followed the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) framework. TLP is a separate framework that the military uses that is neither waterfall nor agile. The flow is sequential like waterfall, rather than iterative like agile. However, in the case of this project, I used TLP in a continuous delivery manner. Once their training programs were established, each team executed continuous, daily training to build and maintain proficiency in their tasks. The teams were given the flexibility to choose which tasks to train depending on what type of evaluation they could expect next. The quarterly evaluations were called Operational Readiness Evaluations (ORE) and evaluated the organization’s ability to come on alert and respond to a threat while remaining stationary. The semi-annual training and evaluations involved moving our equipment to a new location, setting up, and immediately responding to an imminent air and/or missile threat. Both the OREs and the semi-annual evaluations began unannounced. I served as the organization director, overall responsible for all projects and operations in the organization. The success of the teams on their evaluations demonstrated their ability to rapidly and appropriately respond to an imminent air and/or missile threat against critical strategic assets, thus achieving the objective and key deliverable for the project.

I was the sole projectized member of the team within my organization, although I had support from several functional areas and subordinate organizations. I was responsible for planning, coordinating, managing, and sourcing backside support to this exercise to enable its success. I sourced and managed the integration of over 400 personnel and over $5M of equipment for the training exercise.

    Results: All backside support for the exercise was coordinated, resourced, and successfully integrated into the excercise and the 1st Brigade Combat Team was fully prepared for their subsequent JRTC exercise.

  • Foreign Interoperability Exchange Program: Persistent Venture 17

    –

    The objective of this project was to facilitate and participate in a US/UK exchange program called Persistent Venture 17 in order to build interoperability between the two nations’ air defense forces. Persistent Venture 17 was an exchange program in which many organizations across both the US and UK armies participated. That particular year was the first time the air defense branch of the US Army had participated, thus the first time my organization had participated as well. My job was to plan…

    The objective of this project was to facilitate and participate in a US/UK exchange program called Persistent Venture 17 in order to build interoperability between the two nations’ air defense forces. Persistent Venture 17 was an exchange program in which many organizations across both the US and UK armies participated. That particular year was the first time the air defense branch of the US Army had participated, thus the first time my organization had participated as well. My job was to plan and manage the reception, integration, training plan, schedule, and coordination among all supporting subordinate organizations in which the UK exchange personnel would be spending time while on exchange. Upon reception and integration of the UK exchange personnel, I would then go to the UK to participate on the reciprocating side of the exchange. Each exchange was to last around three months. This project followed the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) framework. MDMP is a separate framework that the military uses that is neither waterfall nor agile. The planning and execution are most similar in nature to waterfall, however, it can also be utilized with an iterative, incremental, and/or continuous delivery approach, depending on the project or operation. In the case of this project, it was utilized in a completely predictive manner with a robust change management plan to accommodate changes. The project was a success as the interoperability between the two nations’ air defense forces had been significantly bolstered by the end of the project. All exchange personnel, including myself, had a once-in-a-career experience (see publications section).

  • Contingency Mission Validation Project Part II (Able Shield II)

    –

    Operation Able Shield II was the second of a twopart validation of a wartime contingency mission while on an overseas deployment to the middle east. I served as the project manager responsible for the project's success. This project utilized both the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) and Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) frameworks. TLP is utilized in smaller teams and organizations while the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) framework is scaled for larger organizations. The TLP…

    Operation Able Shield II was the second of a twopart validation of a wartime contingency mission while on an overseas deployment to the middle east. I served as the project manager responsible for the project's success. This project utilized both the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP) and Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) frameworks. TLP is utilized in smaller teams and organizations while the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) framework is scaled for larger organizations. The TLP framework was utilized in internal planning and the MDMP framework was utilized by our higher-level organization and I needed to understand both in order to successfully complete this project. TLP is a separate framework that the military uses that is neither waterfall nor agile. The flow is sequential like waterfall, rather than iterative like agile. It also uses a push method rather than a pull method like a flow-based agile lifecycle and kanban. MDMP is also a separate framework that the military uses that is neither waterfall nor agile. The planning and execution are most similar in nature to waterfall, however, it can also be utilized with an iterative, incremental, and/or continuous delivery approach, depending on the project or operation. For this project, MDMP was utilized in a strictly predictive manner. The overall validation of my organization's extended wartime contingency mission was a record-breaking success. The project resulted in the successful defense of a new strategic asset at a contingency location. Not only was the objective met, but the organization broke a 15-year record by having a newly-formed air and missile defense crew certify at that contingency location.
