Geospatial Intelligence Evals
GEOINT intelligence analyst, IS2 authored and delivered 90 Target Country intelligence products and 15 Operations & Intelligence brief slides, of which 70 percent were used and published by INDOPACOM JIOC HQ to the Intelligence Community. IS2 effectively facilitated technical training on two vital GEOSPATIAL analysis systems to 15 GEOINT Branch personnel and provided strategic imagery and analytical support to several JDET branches. Provided eight hours of remote support during Hawaii's Hurricane Lane contingency operations, which helped maintain mission continuity.
Proved himself as a highly capable and competent leader and was instrumental in the integration of METOC into the daily production Geospatial Intelligence. His efforts identified the appropriate location of METOC data within beach production to create better fused products for the intelligence community.
Operated as the J2 Department LPO, Global Mission Support Watch Officer, and Geospatial Analyst during his time at USSOCOM. His relentless efforts produced over 3,500 intelligence reports and provided instrumental information to the USSOCOM Commander to support efforts in USCENTCOM, USAFRICOM and USSOUTHCOM AORs.
As Leading Petty Officer, he assisted in the restructuring of the Mission Support Center and Group Ten. He drafted and implemented a watch floor Job Qualification Requirement (JQR), 12 Standard Operating Procedures, revised metric generating databases, and Request For Information tracking systems. As Lead Geospatial Intelligence Analyst, oversaw the completion of over 1,500 Specialized Geospatial Intelligence products for Special Operations Forces deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and the Philippines. As the Software and Training Petty Officer, he aided in the research, development, procurement, and formal training for 12 geospatial software suites, resulting in the installation of five new geospatial software suites, ten imagery workstations, and the implementation of a Spatial Database Engine. His contributions expanded the Mission Support Center's Geospatial Information Systems technical and analytical capabilities to support deployed Special Operations Forces.
His contributions have established a lasting legacy of excellence as a result of his leadership. His management of the branch budget reduced costs by over a quarter of a million dollars without compromising mission success. He coordinated with the National Intelligence Agency and other intelligence community partners to standardize and enhance publication channels and provided vital intelligence analysis, resulting in detailed analysis of over 700 images, leading to the production of 10 baseline reports and over 130 imagery assessments and more than 15 geospatial products published on a variety of platforms.
He leveraged his previous Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) experience to enable four untrained in ISR team members and three field grade officers to provide Processing Exploitation Dissemination (PED) in support of US government multi-agency and multinational full motion video operations from multiple multinational unmanned aerial platforms, which resulted in significantly enhanced daily report writing, improving sharing of documented ISR observables across multiple continents.
Sergeant Kramer assisted the responsible officer in maintaining accountability of the Consolidated Memorandum Receipt (CMR) worth over 1.2 million dollars during COMMEX and Resolute Hunter 21-1. Sergeant Kramer assisted in setting up the Intelligence Operations Center (IOC) and the Tactical Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (T-SCIF), ensuring that they were operational for the upcoming exercise.
Working hand in hand with the Field Service Representatives (FSR), Sergeant Kramer supervised the assembly, troubleshooting, and operation of the Tactical Wideband Interoperable Surface Terminal (TWISTER) during COMMEX and Resolute Hunter 21-1. While working inside the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC), he provided daily updates to the Combat Intelligence Center's and the Air Intelligence Center's nominated Named Areas of Interest (NAI) through Tactical Chat and Voice Communications, enhancing the realism of the rolling campaign exercise.
As the Senior Imagery Analyst in the Air Intelligence Center (AIC) during Resolute Hunter 21-1 and during COMMEX, Sergeant Kramer successfully collected, analyzed, processed, and disseminated over 510 GB of National Technical Means (NTM) Satellite Imagery and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data from various ISR assets such as the RC-135, HUMINT, MQ-9, MH-60, and E-3 in support of Resolute Hunter 21-1.
Sergeant Kramer's production skills and understanding of his discipline led him to answer over 20 Requests for Information (RFI) in an expeditious manner using Geospatial Data tools and resources such as Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imagery, Panchromatic Electro-optical (EO) Imagery, Infrared (IR) Imagery, and Full Motion Video (FMV) to create Electronic Order of Battle (EOB), Air Order of Battle (AOB), Ground Order of Battle (GOB), Line of Sight (LOS), Pattern of Life (POL) and Coherent Change Detection (CCD) Imagery Products.
During the Resolute Hunter 21-1 Exercise, Sergeant Kramer's tireless work ethic and flexibility allowed him to successfully support any RFIs the IMINT team received despite him being half of the Air Intelligence Center's IMINT production team and the sole TWISTER operator while his peers were put on Restriction of Movement (ROM) due to COVID-19 exposure.
