NPS Department of Defense Analysis (DA) Common Operational Research Environment (CORE) Lab outgoing director U.S. Army Lt. Col. Glenn Johnson, left, welcomes his successor, Lt. Col. Gordon Landale, right, following Johnson’s retirement ceremony, April 14, 2016. Johnson, an NPS alumnus, says he is proud of his many accomplishments at the helm of the innovative lab. “In my tenure, we did over $6.5 million in externally-sponsored projects with 23 U.S. government, law enforcement, academic and international sponsors,” said Johnson. “While doing this, I aggressively integrated the idea of using Social Network Analysis to map out human networks of interest at the operational level. I was able to integrate the CORE Lab methodology into the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School curriculum, and had special forces groups, and local police, begin employment of the capability.”
