Silver Mace Solutions, LLC, provides senior-level defense management consulting grounded in more than three decades of operational leadership, strategic planning, command-and-control expertise, and joint force integration at the highest levels of the United States military.
Founded by a United States Air Force two-star general officer with 34 years of service, the firm delivers unmatched experience in operational planning and execution, national security decision-making, defense interoperability, organizational leadership, and mission-focused strategic consulting. The company offers clients a rare combination of tactical credibility, operational expertise, strategic vision, and executive-level leadership developed across combat operations, joint assignments, and senior command responsibilities.
The founder’s background includes extensive operational experience in airborne command and control, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strategic operations. With more than 2,400 flight hours in the E-3 AWACS, E-8 Joint STARS, EC-130, RC-26, and E-6B aircraft — including over 500 combat hours supporting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan — the company brings firsthand understanding of complex operational environments, multi-domain coordination, and mission execution under pressure.
The firm possesses deep expertise in:
- Air and space operations center planning and execution
- Command and control systems integration
- Radar and datalink systems
- Nuclear command, control, and strategic operations
- Foreign military sales delivery and interoperability training
- Joint and coalition operations
- Operational readiness and force integration
- Executive-level strategic planning and organizational leadership
In addition to operational expertise, the founder has served at the highest levels of defense leadership, including assignments on both the United States Air Force Air Staff and the United States Joint Staff. These assignments provided direct experience in strategic planning, policy development, interagency coordination, force management, and senior defense decision-making.
The company also offers proven large-scale organizational leadership experience. As commander of Texas’ border security task force, the founder led more than 5,000 soldiers and airmen responsible for securing over 1,200 miles of border terrain in support of state and federal security objectives. This role required synchronization of multi-agency operations, logistics, intelligence integration, crisis response, and executive stakeholder coordination across complex operational environments.
Most recently, the founder served as the Reserve Component Advisor to the Deputy Commander of United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). In that role, he was qualified to lead the command’s battle staff at both the Global Operations Center and the Airborne Command Post, supporting strategic deterrence and national-level command and control operations. This experience provides the firm with exceptional insight into strategic operations, nuclear enterprise readiness, continuity of operations, and senior-level command processes.
Silver Mace Solutions is uniquely positioned to support defense, government, and industry partners seeking trusted expertise in operational planning, command-and-control integration, organizational effectiveness, strategic advisory services, interoperability, and mission execution. The company’s value lies not only in technical and operational knowledge, but in the ability to translate complex defense challenges into executable solutions informed by decades of leadership at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.
The firm is committed to delivering disciplined, mission-oriented consulting services characterized by integrity, credibility, responsiveness, and results.
