Connor published in top national military magazine
March 18, 2016
ARLINGTON, VA – The Mar. 2016 edition of ARMY magazine – the official periodical of the Association of the U.S. Army – features an article by Col. Bill Connor, U.S. Army (Res.). Entitled, “Peer Pressure: Attorney Evaluation System Might Benefit All Officers,” the article examines the Army’s existing leadership-evaluation system, determines its flaws, and offers a way-forward with an “officer peer evaluation” system in which an Army officer seeking promotion might “request” a peer evaluation, similar to the request-system utilized by attorneys seeking professional ratings.
Connor – who in his civilian professional-capacity is an Orangeburg, S.C.-based attorney – is a decorated combat-infantry officer (Airborne Ranger), who served as the senior U.S. military advisor in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, 2007-2008. Today, he serves as the ranking-officer for the S.C. Emergency Preparedness Liaison Team under Region 4 DCE, Army North.
Widely considered an expert in counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, and ground combat, Connor is a founding partner of National Defense Consultants, LLC. He has also campaigned twice for elected office; first for the S.C. lieutenant governor’s seat (making the runoff election in the state’s Republican primary), and second, he ran for U.S. Senate.
This is Connor’s second article appearing in ARMY Magazine.
