PEO EIS’s DCO-Defensive Cyber Operations hosted a change of charter ceremony at Fort Belvoir July 28 for the Cyber Platforms and Systems (CPS) product office, bidding farewell to outgoing product manager Lt. Col. Michael Lind and welcoming Lt. Col. Brad B. Son as his replacement.
Praising Lind for doing an “excellent job at the helm of CPS” and going “above and beyond to accomplish the mission,” DCO Project Manager Col. Mark Taylor wished Lind well as he prepares to retire next year after a 20-year Army career.
Son previously worked for Taylor at the National Reconnaissance Office before completing a Master of Business Administration at George Mason University and returning to PEO EIS, where he once served as assistant program manager for IPPS-A.
