Captain Zimmerman, very nice to hear from you again.   I hope that you and your family had a good holiday and New Year celebrations.

 

My division is focused on the coordination and integration of force development efforts of the Joint Staff and our partners.  As such, I, along with my branch chief, Mr. John Taylor (cc’d) will be happy to assist you as required.

 

 

Best Regards,

Shaun

Hey Shaun,

 

How are you?

 

We were in touch a while back in regards to the he 2018 International Concept Development and Experimentation Conference, which we were unable to attend.

 

For the past couple of years we were working together with the office of irregular warfare (Mr. Dave Stephenson)  on wargaming and similar topics, but since that office is closing, we are looking for new avenues for cooperation with the J7  - wargames, concepts, doctrine and etc.

 

Are you the right person to engage with?
