I served with Sam Williams at the American Embassy in Moscow, Russia. He led security operations and stood out as a leader. His ability to quickly react to complex threats and leverage resources to address any problem made him an outstanding Operations NCO.

Sam performs superbly as a Marine Security Guard. He is mission focused, attentive, and alert, both on and off duty. He is enormously consistent in the application of security policy, maintaining watch over the Local Guard and Char Force and all other personnel for indications of infractions or unusual behavior. He is vigilant, sharp and acts with first-rate judgment, enacting with thorough responses to potential situations. Sam authored multiple Incident Reports to increase the security posture and procedures within the embassies. Sam has also performed remarkably during real-time incidents. Sam executed proper command and control of post 1 during an actual intruder breaching the compound. His fast responses to the situation quickly lead to the intruder being detained. I enthusiastically recommend Sam in any organization.
