Olin Walters’ Post

I’m happy to share that I’ve completed my Master of Strategic Studies at USAF Air War College!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Director of Test Planning and Design at Missile Defense Agency!

Last month was jam packed! On May 16th I graduated from the Air War College and on the 31st, I was honored to be promoted to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army. Thank you to everyone who helped and guided me this far. Now on to the next adventure!

These last three year’s servings as the Product Manager for Tactical UAS has been my greatest honor! This the greatest team I have been blessed to serve with! God’s Speed to Jeff as he leads TUAS to even greater accomplishments!

Well… it’s time… After three awesome years as the Product Manager for Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft Systems, it is finally time to hand off this great team to another great officer, LTC Jeff Bess! Please join COL Medaglia at 0900 on 28 June at the Bob Jones Auditorium (Sparkman Center, Redstone Arsenal Alabama) for the TUAS Change of Charter. It will be a great opportunity to meet Jeff and his family as they take on this incredible opportunity! I hope to see you there!!

https://lnkd.in/ebYC2ipy On Friday I was honored to participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Army’s new engine test shop in support of the Shadow air vehicles. Although the test shop is stationed at at Fort Campbell Kentucky, my old stomping ground, the engines repaired their will support Shadow air vehicles around the world. This engine repair facility will help insure our Shadow UAS fleet can keep fighting for the foreseeable future. Great work team!
