maintaining order of battle data for a mid-eastern country of

Undertook, maintained order of battle data compilation for
a here-to-fore little studied country in the Far East. Significantly

breakaway regions.

project assessing thoroughness of reporting on WMD cooperation
between two states of particular concern.
July 2004 – November 2005. Maintained, enhanced, and
expanded customer's weapons proliferation data base. Compiled,
maintained log of product prices in proliferation transactions,
thereby providing expanded basis for cost estimates. Using
language & area knowledge searched foreign media for further
transaction details, and to resolve ambiguous terms. In addition
used this knowledge to compile documents noting functions &
products at selected foreign development and production facilities.
MITRE Corporation Independent consultant July 1999 –
February 2004.
Provided foreign language support, searching and research,
as well as translation in a variety of substantive areas.
Dealt initially largely with proliferation-related foreign
trade, later with technical disciplines, and thereafter with BW-
related matters.
Provided guidance in support of project on foreign
keyboards.
Provided extensive guidance on Central Asian Turkic
language recognition.
Assisted in other language recognition questions. Assessed
accuracy of optical character readers.
Foreign Broadcast Information Service (now OSC). Foreign
Documents Officer and then Senior Foreign Documents Officer
April 1970 – October 1998.
Provided foreign language support for Agency and inter-agency
projects. This required knowledge of non-standard "up-country"
vocabulary. Participated regularly in inter-agency group assessing
armed forces of newly independent, former Soviet republics,
including order-of-battle as related in foreign language sources.
This involved learning as I went along and compiling my own
specialized glossaries, as local languages began to be more widely
used in newly independent FSU republics.
