My job in the Army focuses on the interaction between military operations and the civilian population (Civil Affairs). We use geospatial products extensively to understand things like infrastructure systems, demographics and population distribution, and we use those products to assist in planning operations such as large-scale humanitarian aid distribution. During this exercise our unit\u2019s ability to create geospatial products was impacted by limited personnel who had access to training and as part of the stress test some systems broke down. Because of the excellent education I\u2019ve received here at USC, I was able to step up and create multiple maps, overlays and briefings, and train others in the basics of geospatial engineering and analysis on the fly. I am grateful to have been decorated for my efforts with the Army Achievement Medal, and am proud that I could represent the program well!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Cadet Bluesmon D. del Vecchio (B.S.
