ELECTRONIC WARFARE EXPERIENCE

I have participated in numerous communication and air control operations and exercises, both in the Republic of Vietnam and in 14 Reserve exercises.   Electronic warfare has been heavily emphasized in many of these exercises.  I have participated in all phases of planning and implementing electronic warfare efforts.

I have taught numerous classes and short courses to members of my units and to Marines in the field.  I have written and implemented the Electronic Warfare Annex for several exercises. The Exercise High Intercept at Cherry  Point was  a  high  point, where  electronic warfare was a principle portion of the exercise, and where Radio Battalion told us that we were the best unit  hat they had ever worked against.  I received a letter of commendation from CG 4th MAW for these efforts.
