Why SDS?

SDS is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business founded in March 2006. SDS has unique access to the finest pool of senior analysts that are trained by the U.S. Department of Defense and currently available for employment. These analysts include:

• strategic planners
• program managers
• strategic assessors
• logistics specialists
• intelligence planners
• psychological operators 

Post September 11, 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense and various other U.S. government agencies sent their senior and most experienced planners to U.S. Central Command to plan for combat operations in Afghanistan. Simultaneously, many of the same personnel participated in the run-up to war and sustained operations in Iraq. Those planners routinely numbered over 100, focused on operations, intelligence, logistics, and communications, and many often took their daily direction from the SDS founder. These historic experiences brought the initial SDS consultants together, but do not fully describe the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees.

SDS can confidently supply senior strategic planners, program managers, programmers, analysts, and senior decision makers with national level experience.
