When Ji Elliott arrived at the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan in October 2016, he had a big job ahead of him. He was the new manager of a task order at Bagram Air Base that was up against some tough circumstances in a war zone with staffing challenges. 

He told his Air Force customer he had a plan.

“I convinced them to … give me a couple of months to turn it around,” Elliott said.

Chico Moline, president of PAE‘s national security solutions business, recently spoke with ExecutiveBiz regarding the impact of emerging technologies on the company, the challenges of talent recruitment, security clearances and PAE’s future in new markets.
