                      Wednesday, September 5, 2018

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dr. Hans 
Mumm for his government service and significant contributions to the 
U.S. Military's Information Operations. Dr. Mumm is currently a futures 
researcher for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. In this 
position, he uses his UAV and robotics expertise to design policy for 
advanced technologies and studies the consequences of its future uses. 
This September, Dr. Mumm will be celebrating his 40th birthday.
  Dr. Mumm began his military career as an enlisted service member. He 
gained notoriety for his leadership role in ``Operation Iraqi Freedom'' 
as the officer in charge of the ``Iraqi Regime Playing Cards; CENTCOM's 
Top 55 Most Wanted List.'' The Defense Intelligence Agency praised this 
Information Operations mission as one of the most successful campaigns 
in the agency's history. Dr. Mumm was recognized as one of the ``Ten 
Outstanding Young Americans'' and awarded the National Defense PAC 
``American Patriot Ingenuity Award'' for his service during ``Operation 
Iraqi Freedom''.
  After serving in the enlisted ranks and subsequently as a U.S. Army 
Captain, Dr. Mumm was medically discharged in 2010, becoming a Wounded 
Warrior. Following the completion of his active service duties, Dr. 
Mumm has continued to achieve remarkable feats. In June of 2014, Dr. 
Mumm was awarded the Exceptional Performance Award from the CIA for his 
work as a branch chief. In this capacity, he oversaw the development of 
the Continuous Monitoring Branch (CMB) and transformed this technology 
into an integral part of the CIA's cyber security framework.
  Over the course of his career, Dr. Mumm has earned twenty-three 
personal military ribbons and combat medals. He is also the author of 
two international bestselling books detailing the leadership challenges 
and opportunities in the fields of technical investigation and military 
intelligence. In addition to his current job at the National Geospatial 
Intelligence Agency, Dr. Mumm serves as an adjunct professor for the 
California University of Pennsylvania (CALU) and the American Military 
University (AMU).
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Dr. Hans Mumm for 
his acts of patriotism that have greatly benefitted our country as he 
celebrates his 40th birthday.
