My responsibility is to ensure our products meet our end-user's needs to conduct their job in the world's harshest and most contested environments. By doing so, I integrate with various units (Active Duty, National Guard, or Reserve) to conduct evaluations of new developmental Design textile and garment initiatives as well as improve what is in our current product assortment.This includes taking an item(s) into some of the most remote and harshest environments our service members may find themselves in throughout the world.
