AYC Security is pleased to announce that Robert Leonhard, Ph.D, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.), USA has joined the AYC Security advisory board.
Mr. Leonhard joined the United States Army in 1979, and over the course of his career served as an infantry officer, planner, strategist, and combat developer. He has led units from platoon through battalion level, and served in Operation Desert Storm in a mechanized infantry task force. Working as a combat developer at the Infantry School, he later helped coordinate the Digital Division exercises at Fort Hood. He then trained as a war planner at the School of Advanced Military Studies and served as Chief of Plans, 4th Infantry Division.
Shortly after leaving the Army, Mr. Leonhard began working for the Central Intelligence Agency providing instruction in joint operations and future warfare to defense analysts from various US government agencies, including the CIA, DIA, the military services, and others. He continues in this position to this day.

Beginning in 2004, Mr. Leonhard began working at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as a senior research analyst. In that capacity he created scenarios in support of Naval Expeditionary Health Service Support; designed a simulation of Customs and Border Protection operations; designed wargames for EUCOM logistics and force deployment and for AFRICOM strategy and operations; led policy wargames for OSD-Policy; designed and conducted logistics wargames for EUCOM; and much more.
