During the BDE STAFFEX between 13 May and 27 May, SGT Hall's performance was outstanding during the digital Tactical Operations Command (TOC) setup. His expertise in configuring the BDE server systems was invaluable to the success of the mission. SGT Hall performed many tasks that were on the level of a chief warrant officer, which the BDE S6 is currently lacking.
SGT Hall demonstrated exceptional ability during Annual Training as the Joint Nodal Network NCO. Because of his preparation and cross-training with the S6 section, the Joint Network Node (JNN) maintained a 99 % network connectivity.
SGT Hall worked side by side with the civilian digital engineers and understood many of the complicated problems associated with server configurations and Joint Network Node integration. His expertise in the field of automation is far above that expected of a new E-5. He also worked tirelessly throughout the exercise ot make sure there was no interruption in comm.
SGT Hall continually provided the highest level of service by constantly studying and increasing his technical proficiency and continuously updating the unit SOP to ensure reliable comms.
