Jeff Lee Process Improvement: The Greatest Thing That Nobody Wants With a desire to explore new grounds and serve his country, Jeff volunteered to deploy to Kuwait in 2010 and became the Systems and Process Improvement Special Staff to the Commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the height of the US troop drawdown, Kuwait served as the hub for all equipment exiting Iraq and equipment going to Afghanistan. Jeff successfully initiated, created, and implemented multiple process improvement initiatives which enabled the processing of 3,500 armored vehicles per month through the Kuwait hub. Operation Iraqi Freedom was formally recognized to be the largest logistical operation in the history of mankind. As a result, Jeff received a commendation letter from the office of 3-star Lieutenant General Pillsbury, the prestigious Superior Civilian Service Medal from 2-star Major General Fontaine, 8 performance excellence coins, and multiple recognitions from the unit he served in.
