Inside the Wire: Lessons From a Company Executive Officer

Serving as an Executive Officer in the U.S. Army means living at the intersection of leadership, operations, and project management.

From managing complex missions to leading cross‑functional teams, this is a behind‑the‑scenes look at one of the most misunderstood roles in the military.
