Throughout his military career, he served as an Operations Officer at multiple levels from battalion to Corps. During his final tour, Kirin served as the Army’s Senior Military Analyst, leading teams of experts in applying advanced operations research and simulation techniques to address the Army’s most pressing organizational and operational problems.
Kirin has served on a Defense Science Board Study to explore the use of experimentation to enable future technological superiority. He also completed a two-year fellowship with the RAND Corporation, studying public policy and strategic defense issues.
