John Coleman, former chief of staff of the 1st Marines Expeditionary Force during Operation Iraqi Freedom, has joined its Advisory Board.

Prior to that he launched Joint Command and Control Consulting (JC3), providing consulting services focused on the development, integration, and delivery of mature and emerging technologies in support of expeditionary operations, particularly as related to command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR).
Prior to JC3, Coleman was Vice President, Business Development at Hunter Defense Technologies, where he pioneered an entirely new business sector specializing in the development and delivery of expeditionary command and control systems for civil first responders and the Department of Defense (DOD.)
