I also supervise team movements when moving clients to and from meetings and plan and conduct security operations and counter surveillance while on venue.

I gather daily intelligence reports and brief them to the team and conduct a mission and route brief the night prior and day of the movement. Along with my protective security assignments I would also communicate with the tactical operations center by radio to notify them of load plan changes, Situational reports and route modifications. I make sure the team complies with all State Department and Triple Canopy Policies and procedures. I assure the team members are in good health and mission capable at all times with proper issued equipment and conduct employee evaluations.

As a Protective Security Specialist I performed the tasks of Limo Driver, Follow Driver, ERV Driver, and Lead Driver. I provided close protection for U.S. Embassy personnel on missions to venues within Iraq. I volunteered to be the team's vehicle manager, and coordinated the maintenance and upkeep of six tactical Suburban’s. I wrote reports and memos to Triple Canopy leadership and liaised with KBR representatives regarding ongoing vehicle issues, and updated the contract-wide vehicle spreadsheet.

I am responsible for all vehicles including serial numbers, GSI numbers, and placards. All have to match. In addition, I am responsible for making sure all vehicles are up to date on their inspections. If a vehicle is not up to date on its inspection or it needs to be repaired, it is my responsibility to put the vehicle in the shop, and get a new truck from RSO Logistics. I coordinate with the driver, the shift leader, the radio shack, KBR, and RSO logistics to clean out an old vehicle and to move into a new vehicle. This is called cross loading, where everything must be zeroed out. I let the USC know what is going on, and the situation regarding the vehicle. It is my responsibility to coordinate with the team to move all items from one vehicle to the next, through the use of a straight forward cross-loading process. Once the vehicles are cross-loaded, I take the truck to the duke shop first. Once the repairs are made there, I then bring the truck to the radio shop so it can be reprogrammed. I am then responsible for coordinating with the camera shop. After all the necessary shops complete their necessary steps, I then get the truck from RSO Logistics. I then sanitize it, and bring it back to the shop. As a vehicle manager, it is my responsibility to manage the personnel within the truck. In a truck, there is generally a driver and two shooters. I am responsible for telling them what they have to do when a vehicle needs to be cross-loaded. At any given time, I am responsible for up to six trucks, along with their equipment. On a daily basis, I am responsible for ensuring all PSD teams have a vehicle to operate in and transport items/personnel. I report the overall status of each vehicle to the Shift Leader on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
