AUTHOR
Jeffrey Miller Moore is a native of North Carolina. He earned his BA in political science and MA in American history (concentration in U.S. national security affairs and U.S. involvement in Asia and the Pacific) from East Carolina University.
In 1996 Moore went to Vietnam where he taught English and worked for a market research company analyzing business and economic trends. In 1998, he went to work for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for five years in the Washington, D.C., area. His first job with SAIC was to research and analyze historical, political, military, and economic patterns of countries for various government entities and military commands. He covered South America, Central America, Central and Eastern Europe, and various countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Mr. Moore also worked on side projects that dealt with infrastructure issues, and he tracked several critical subjects in Asia such as the political, military, and economic status of Cambodia, the East Timor stabilization operation, and terrorism in the Philippines.
In 2000, he began supporting the U.S. Army Staff's National Security Policy Division within the G-3 (Plans and Operations Division) at the Pentagon. Before 9-11, he worked on the Emerging Nontraditional Security Issues Program (ENSI) that helped the Army identify, mitigate, and/or comply with non-lethal impediments that hindered it from training, equipping, and deploying the force, also known as Title 10 responsibilities. Issues included environmental regulations, foreign industrial policies, and international activist initiatives.
After 9-11, Moore supported the Army G-3 for the Global War on Terror. In doing so, he worked on a wide range of planning scenarios and provided risk assessments for real world deployment options.
Moore left SAIC and the Pentagon in 2003 to work for the security wing of a multinational company in Southeast Asia providing threat warnings and analyses of danger areas for corporations throughout Asia. He also freelance wrote in Vietnam and Laos. He currently resides in Northern Virginia.
Mr. Moore has written on security and business issues for multiple publications, including Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre, the American Intelligence Journal, Naval History, Asia Times, World Refining, Asia-Inc, and Proceedings. At present, he writes an Asia-focused column for World Oil magazine. He has also given talks and/or briefs at venues such as the Marine Corps Command and Staff College at Quantico, Va., and the U.S. Joint Intelligence Center, Pacific (JICPAC) at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Mr. Moore has lived in Vietnam and Singapore, and he has traveled to and/or worked in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.
He is available to lecture or brief on any subject directly or indirectly related to his book and freelance articles, including various intelligence issues, separatist terrorism in Thailand, Southeast Asia area studies, and a variety of strategic business subjects in Southeast Asia.
