In 2010 Wood served a stint as Afghan specialist at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, before returning to Kabul Station a year later, this time as Chief of Station, overseeing a far larger unit than he had been a part of eight years earlier. He took the reins of station in Afghanistan at the same time as agency officers who spent years hunting Osama Bin Laden finally found their man. After 2011, Wood served time in Washington, DC, where he served as the Chief to a number of critical Agency offices, and his rotational assignments included stints with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Some time later Wood became a member of the Senior Intelligence Service when he returned to overseas duty in charge of all operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, holding the position of an Assistant Director, and leading several field commands in sensitive overseas assignments.
