Research Program Manager Dec 1999 -Aug 2001. Detailed to position at Hq Simulation Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) as a Principle Investigator/ATD Manager. Took research concepts and developed the vision of how they would be applied in the future. Advocated this long term vision to U.S. Army leadership as a primary future training strategy. Developed the Advanced Technology Demonstration Management Plan and justified a new funding program element for the organization to be included in the Department of the Army budget process for Congressional funding. This effort required briefing multiple army leaders/general officers to include the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations; and both the Military and Civilian Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology.
