We support active-duty special operations missions in fast-paced, dynamic, and demanding environments. During my time with the unit, I have served on Active-Duty Operational Support (ADOS) orders, working in a full-time capacity in a joint environment with sister services. I have also had the opportunity to lead teams, hold key developmental positions, and serve in critical deployed roles. My positions have included: operations officer, liaison officer, technology product manager, troop commander, and director of operations. Each of these has been unique and challenging in its own way, and it has allowed me to cultivate both my leadership skills and my technical skills.​ <br>As an operations officer, I worked at the tactical level and provided mission critical support to operations. While preparing for a combat deployment, I participated in specialty training courses like advanced marksmanship, advanced driving, SERE, etc. While I continuously worked hard in my role, I always sought advancement in positions with greater responsibility. As a liaison officer, I served as the brigade's representative to the National Capital Region. In this capacity, I was stationed in Washington, DC, geographically separated from my unit. I learned to operate independently, prioritizing work based on my commander's intent. While there were many challenges, I learned the importance of prioritization and synchronization of efforts, as well as concise communications across all organizational echelons.<br>As a product manager, troop commander, and director of operations, I had the unique opportunity to build a technology organization from the ground up. While I did not have an extensive background in the technology world, I received a lot of training from industry and academia. I also worked closely with other government agencies, international partners, commercial industry, and academic institutions. The combination of these factors helped to set me up for success in these roles. I am grateful these skills translate to the civilian world, and they are well-sought after; ultimately, setting me up for success in the civilian world, as well. <br>Now I am drilling as a reservist. For battle assembly, I work with my unit to create a unique schedule. Sometimes I drill on a monthly basis, and sometimes I drill on a quarterly basis – this all depends on the unit's needs. I work on operational planning and recruitment efforts for the team. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities at the SOCOM ARE, as well as the network and friendships I have made along the way. I would highly encourage other Soldiers to learn more about the SOCOM ARE and become part of the team. This is an opportunity of a lifetime!</p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:10pt;">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​</span></p><div><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:14px;">I am a Military Intelligence officer and proud member of the SOCOM Army Reserve Element (ARE). I joined SOCOM ARE after serving almost 10 years on active duty, where I had the opportunity to complete Ranger school, Airborne/Jumpmaster school, Pathfinder, SERE, advanced driving and shooting courses, and deploy several times in support of the Global War on Terrorism. While my active-duty time was extremely rewarding, after a decade of service I wanted to pursue a career change to physical therapy and have more control over my military career.</span></div><div><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:14px;">SOCOM ARE provided me the opportunity to pursue my Doctorate of Physical Therapy, while continuing to serve in a meaningful capacity. When exploring options within the Army Reserve and National Guard during my transition from active duty, SOCOM ARE provided advantages which made joining the formation a clear choice for me. SOCOM ARE provides me geographical flexibility, leadership opportunities, continued professional advancement in both technical and leadership skills, and the ability to serve in a Joint capacity -- which is an extremely valuable and rare opportunity within the Army Reserve. </span></div><div><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:14px;">I currently serve as a senior intelligence planner, supporting an active-duty Joint intelligence squadron at Ft. Liberty, NC. For drill, the SOCOM ARE provides flexibility which allows me to adapt my schedule around the needs of my unit so I can maximize support and impact for our highest priority efforts. This not only helps me balance school, my civilian job, and my military schedule, but it has also supported my continued professional development as an Army Officer, allowing me the flexibility to schedule and attend advanced military schooling.</span></div><div><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;">I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve within the SOCOM ARE and am proud to be part of this formation!</span><br></span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:10pt;"><span><span><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style="font-size:10pt;">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​</span></span></span><br></span></div><div><span class="ms-rteForeColor-8" style="font-size:10pt;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;">I am a 12A Engineer Officer, my title is “Deputy Command Engineer” with SOCSOUTH, working as a Project Manager. </span><br class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;">My primary experiences are designing and developing engineering plans and 3d models for 300-person base camps for two-star commands. I focus on planning and executing annual multinational engineering exercises in OCONUS locations (Central America, South America, Caribbean) and supporting international base camps. I regularly liaise with host nation military, political officials, and US embassy representatives to oversee engineering projects, conduct site surveys, manage contracting actions, and ensure quality assurance during construction for timely completion of projects benefiting SOCOM and partner nations. </span><br class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;">Balancing two careers can provide a distinctive perspective and enhance your ability to make valuable contributions in diverse contexts.</span><br class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-9-0" style="font-size:14px;">Whether contributing to the construction of temporary hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiding FEMA in wildfire recovery, or participating in projects in Central America to construct new barracks facilities for a Host Nation, these experiences have shaped me into a more versatile and resilient individual.</span><br></span></div></div>
