Matt MacLaughlin, Jr. taught high school English for six years before coming into the Department of the Army as a Logistics Specialist intern in 2005. His permanent placement after his internship was the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) teaching their Introduction to Army Logistics and Defense Regional Interservice Support Agreements courses. Eventually, it was determined that in order to increase the audience both courses should be turned into distance learning products. Finishing this task in 2007, the two courses stood as ALMC’s first and only fully operational dL courses. The experience he gained in this process gave him the necessary skill sets to transition into a leadership role as the chief for CASCOM’s Technology Integration Branch under the G3 in 2009. It was at that time when moves for mobile and technological upgrades were begun in CASCOM’s educational processes, a mission he has continued to helm to this very day. Mr. MacLaughlin has Master’s Degrees in English from Virginia Tech and Instructional Design/Technology from East Carolina University.
