Operation, Maintenance, Repair, and Diagnostics Technical Manuals for the USMC Light Armored Vehicle Systems, 2014-2016


From November 2014 to 2016, as publisher & manager for the U.S. Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) technical publications, I tracked/scheduled project updates from assignment to completion. I used interpersonal skills to advocate for timely Light Armored Vehicle publishing by U.S. Marine Corps Logistics Command. Improved publishing process by establishing new tracking systems for project & action item assignment thru closeout. I mentored our team of technical writers/illustrator to update publications in XML/Illustrator, assured accurate representation & configuration control of the Light Armored, and worked with engineers & technical specialists to edit copy & assure accuracy/quality. Below is a photo of one of the variants of the LAV.
