RLM Communications, Inc., is the company I've worked for since the 29th of September 2009. Founded in 2004, RLM is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned business, certified by the Small Business Administration as an 8(a) small disadvantaged business. Headquartered in Spring Lake, NC, RLM employs a staff of more than 150 in ten states, Washington, DC, and in two foreign countries.

Near our headquarters, we serve clients in the Spring Lake vicinity and at Fort Bragg, like the 1st Theater Sustainment Command, the 18th Airborne Corps Mobilization/Deployment Cell (G-5 Mobile Support Element), and the US Army Special Operations Command.  Within the Military District of Washington, our clients include the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and customers at Fort Detrick, MD and at Fort Belvoir, VA.  We also have a number of clients at the US Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon, GA and at the Charleston, SC branch of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center.


Though small, the company operates from a broad base of capabilities.  First, in the area of information assurance and cyber-security, RLM trains Army network managers at the Signal Center, the Network Enterprise Command/9th Signal Command (NETCOM/9th SC[A]) at Fort Huachuca, AZ, and at the US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), headquartered at Fort McPherson, GA.  This training is DOD Directive 8570.1 compliant and enables the certification of Army, Navy, and Air Force information managers, systems administrators, and cyber-security personnel.  Some of this training, like that conducted at Fort Gordon, is done in a formal classroom setting.  But the company also employs mobile training teams at regional sites across the US and overseas in order to better meet customer requirements.  At the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in Charleston, RLM provides training within the framework of the DOD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) that leads to the certification of network operations specialists and the accreditation of network systems.

RLM boasts 19 Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSPs) on its IA instructional staff. Our Mobile Training Team Program was recognized by the Army's CIO/G-6 with an award for the Most Innovative IA Project/Implementation at the 2009 LandWarNet Conference in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

RLM provides fully qualified instructors for the Army's flagship tactical communications system, the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T), including increments one and two of that system.  RLM instructors, many of whom have recent combat experience, work with and complement the initial-entry and mobilization training provided by General Dynamics C4 Systems, Inc. at the Signal Center.  Typical of the type of services reflective of our core competencies, our staff also provides instructional support for

• The SATCOM Systems Operator/Maintainer (25S10) Course.
• The Information Systems Operator/Analyst (25B10 Course.
• Network Enterprise Center (NEC) curriculum development.
• Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS) development.
• Coalition Joint Spectrum Management Planning Tool (CJSMPT) training and course development.

RLM web designers developed the S-6 Community of Purpose website for the Signal Center.  It is accessible to all users with an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) account. To complement the S-6 website, RLM has also developed an S-6 Mentor/Protégé Program. Signal officers and senior NCOs can request an S-6 mentor--or act as one--through this program.  This program has been selected for the 2010 Army Knowledge Management Award for Innovative Process and will be presented at the 2010 LandWarNet Conference.

RLM also provides a stable of writers and capabilities developers that serve the Signal Center's Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate.  This support included editors, graphics editors, Army Lessons Learned analysts, and IT configuration management.  These subject matter experts are currently developing the Army's keystone doctrinal field manual, its network operations manual, and several others. This is the area where I work.  I am the lead author on the FM 6-02 Signal Support to Army Operations project.

RLM is owned and operated by Randy L. Moore, a military retiree with both special operations and conventional communications and technology experience.  Earlier this year, RLM Communications, Inc. was featured in an article entitled Reclaim Your Business in Black Enterprise Magazine.
